What is OptionStrat?

OptionStrat is a web and mobile options analysis toolkit built around three core tools: a Strategy Builder with interactive visual payoff diagrams, a Strategy Optimizer that automatically finds optimal trade structures for a given price target, and an Unusual Options Flow tracker that detects multi-leg institutional orders. All options data is sourced from OPRA for accuracy matching brokerage platforms.

The Strategy Builder supports 50+ pre-built strategy templates with real-time P&L tables, combined Greeks, probability of profit calculations, and commission modeling. The Strategy Optimizer lets you enter a ticker, pick a directional bias, set a price target and date, then automatically ranks thousands of potential trades by maximum return or probability of profit.

OptionStrat is best suited for visual learners and intermediate traders who want to model and understand trades before committing capital. It is an analysis-only tool with no brokerage integration, no portfolio tracking, no CSV import, and no backtesting. You analyze on OptionStrat, then execute elsewhere.

What is Remora?

Remora is an integrated options trading platform designed for options traders — income sellers, directional traders, and RIAs who want screening, portfolio tracking, optimization, and analytics in one place. Rather than switching between tools for different parts of the workflow, Remora connects everything from initial stock and options screening through trade tracking and performance analysis.

The platform includes 12 built-in spread strategies, a 500+ ticker IV rank dashboard, unusual options flow monitoring, a stock scanner, and earnings analysis. On the portfolio side, Remora offers wheel strategy lifecycle tracking, a portfolio optimizer that analyzes capital utilization and exposure, morning briefings, PDF reports, and shared portfolio links for client reporting.

Remora is built for traders who prioritize workflow efficiency over raw charting power. If you want to find trades, track your portfolio, optimize your positions, and review performance without leaving one platform, Remora is purpose-built for that workflow.

Frequently asked questions

OptionStrat offers a free tier with 15-minute delayed data and limited features. The Live Tools plan (~$49/month) adds real-time pricing, probability calculations, and combined Greeks. The Live Flow plan (~$90/month) adds real-time options flow, alerts, and historical flow search.
Yes. Use Remora to screen the market for opportunities (spread screener, IV dashboard, stock scanner) and manage your portfolio. Use OptionStrat to model specific trades with visual payoff diagrams before executing them at your brokerage. They handle different parts of the workflow.
No. OptionStrat is an analysis-only tool. It can save hypothetical strategies for monitoring, but does not track actual portfolio positions, provide P&L history, or connect to a brokerage. Remora provides full portfolio tracking with wheel lifecycle management, optimizer, and PDF reporting.
Both offer options flow tracking. OptionStrat detects multi-leg institutional orders and provides historical flow search, alerts, and congress/insider trade data on its Live Flow tier. Remora includes options flow as part of its integrated platform. OptionStrat's flow product is more feature-rich as a standalone tool, while Remora integrates flow into a broader screening and portfolio workflow.
Not a traditional screener. OptionStrat's Strategy Optimizer finds optimal trades for a single ticker given a target price and date, but it doesn't scan across the entire market. Remora's spread screener scans 500+ tickers across 12 options strategies to surface opportunities you might not have considered.
