Here is a more detailed breakdown of what included with our Option Trading Service:
DIY Option Trading Scanner
Based on Technical Analysis
Our option trading scanner finds trade opportunities based on popular trade setups such as chart patterns, stock indicators, and candlestick patterns.
Shows Historical Performance of Each Trade Setup
What makes our option trading scanner one-of-a-kind is that each scan result shows how that option may have performed historically when the same trade setup occurred in the past. Use filters to find the option trade setups that have the best track record of success.
Get Alerts for New Scan Results
If you pay for our service, then you can enable alerts for any option trade scans you want. This means you will get alerted each time our screener picks up new scan results. Alerts can be sent by email or text. You can set your preference after you sign up for the service.
Gives Complete Trade Setups
Each scan result offers a full option trade setup. It includes the strike price and expiration date, and it gives you a specific amount of time to hold the position. This takes the guesswork out of your trading decisions. You know exactly how long to hold the position.
Lots of Ways to Filter Options
Subscribers can see all option trade scan results at once and sort by the ones that have the best backtested performance. But we also cater to a variety of different ways to search and filter scan results:
Historical Performance
Filter option trade setups by backtested performance, such as a minimum win percentage or annualized return.
Trading Strategy
Search for options that meet the criteria for particular chart patterns, candlestick patterns, or stock indicators. You can also filter options for our proprietary trading strategies. These are trading strategies that we know have a strong backtested edge.
Option Contract Price, Market Cap, or Industry
You can limit your scan results to options that have a particular contract price or options just for particular company sizes or sectors.
Option Picks
Let Our Scanner Pick Trades for You
Let our scanner picks trades for you. You can sit back and let us do all the work to determine which trade setups are worth your attention. Get trade alerts each time our scanner makes a new option pick. Each option trade alert indicates the full scope of the trade idea: the ticker symbol, strike price, expiration date, when to buy it, and when to sell it.
Performance of Option Trade Alerts
We’re well qualified to do statistical research on historical stock and option performance. We have years of experience doing stock market research and use a rigorous statistical process for testing each option trading strategy we feature. Here is the performance of our option picks in backtests:
Please note that this performance information is not based on live trades, but on backtests, which have important limitations. Trading options in the stock market involves risk, even when trade setups have a strong history of profitability. You can dial your risk down or up by adjusting your position sizing or the number of trades you take. The more risk that’s taken, the higher the potential for drawdowns. You can also start out by paper trading options to get a feel for the trades before putting real money at risk.
Up to:
Option Trade Alerts per Week
For Active Option Traders
Our option picking service is designed for people who are looking to hold positions for 1 week to 1 month. These picks are for active option traders. We send out up to ten option picks per week with our option trading service. Some weeks there might be less. It depends on market conditions, and our scanner will never send option picks unless it sees an opportunity with a strong backtested edge. If you're looking for less active trading than that, you can consider our buy-and-hold stock investing service, where trades often last three months to a year.
Support from Option Trading Experts
We have option trading experts who offer commentary on a regular basis regarding both our trade alerts and the general state of the market. Their commentary gets sent out to the group in an email newsletter. These experts are readily available for any questions you might have along the way.

Customer Testimonials
I am new to options trading and I've only been trading the last two months and I've been profitable both months with the help of the Stock Market Guides. I still work a "Regular" job so I don't have time to research. The alerts from Stock Market Guides are fantastic in my book.
Sam from Texas
My average ROI per option contract last month was 16.4% (negative %% included). Average turnaround per option was 5 days. The service you provide appears to be exactly as advertised.
Dennis from Florida
I bought and sold 4 suggested options and all were winners. I only bought small portions but am happy with the profits.
Don from Kentucky
It's been less than a month that I've been following the alerts and I am definitely happy so far with the results.
