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.
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.
