I’m a solo founder who trades options, and I got tired of paying $100–$300/month for a bunch of different tools: one for GEX, one for backtesting, one for scanning, another for trade ideas, another for volatility… it felt like death by a thousand subscriptions.
So I built a single website that replaces all of them and made it completely free.
For anyone who trades options, it’s basically all your favorite money making tools in one place, with a super generous free tier so that you never need to pay unless you’re a crazy power user.
What it currently includes:
- Options backtester - GEX (Gamma Exposure) visualizations - Trade ideas & flow - Unusual options activity scanner - Probability calculators & DTE analytics - Strategy models & edge tools - …and a bunch more that I used to pay for across 10+ different sites
Why I built it
Over the last few years I found myself juggling way too many expensive subscriptions just to trade effectively.
Some tools were $150/mo, others $80/mo, others locked basic features behind paywalls. It created a huge financial barrier for new traders — the exact people who need the tools the most.
So I spent the last 3 months obsessing over every detail and building a single, clean, fast toolbox that gives traders everything in one place without the painful subscription stacking.
Data Transparency
The Toolbox uses ORATS institutional data, which normally costs me $600/mo.
No shady data scraping. No questionable aggregators.
Just a clean interface using high-quality options data.
Who it’s for
- Options sellers - Directional traders - Income traders - People learning options - And anyone tired of 5–10 subscriptions to do basic research
