Rook doesn’t grab the nearest OTM anymore...
Limits stay the filter. Inside the band, we score the live chain—liquidity, volume, delta, and expected-move fit—and take the best vehicle. Same for SPX, SPY, and QQQ.
Closest isn’t best. Cheap isn’t best. Quality is!
Wish more traders posted their losers.
It’s easy to post the wins. We want to show you what’s actually possible.
Most trading subscriptions still require YOU to be glued to your phone — finding the chain, getting filled at the right price, trimming quickly, and knowing when to sell.
Most people have jobs. They can’t do that all day.
That’s exactly why I’m building Rook.
I’m building this for my friends with 9–5s who don’t have time to stare at charts all day. The goal is simple: one click, and let Rook handle the rest.
We’ll always be an open book — wins, losses, bugs, everything.
We’re building this for real people, not full-time traders. ♟️

As I said, it hasn't been fun lately;
If you know, you know...
Doesn't take a pro trader to say this; even those just watching on the sidelines know this market has been rough- chop after chop after chop
Btw, idk if anyone cares, but this is for those who have felt the same way.
This week was the first week in a long, long time that I felt super unmotivated to trade.
Trader fatigue is a real thing, especially in a market like this. That’s why it’s so important to make friends in this space and talk to people who understand it, because it’s almost impossible for anyone outside of trading to truly relate to how you feel.
And remember, trading is a long game. I’m sure most of you want to be here for the next 5–10 years. Don’t let a rough stretch of a few days or weeks completely wipe you out mentally.
Tomorrow is always a new day and another opportunity to be better.
Peace out, guys. Enjoy this final stretch of summer!
OK… let me be honest for a minute here...
It’s been ONLY a little over a month since day one of coding Rook. ♟️
We spent the first couple of weeks coding, testing demos, breaking things, fixing things… and quickly realized demo mode wasn’t enough.
So we went straight to real money.
First week live: +$400. 💰
And we’ve been building Rook during a pretty rough stretch in the markets. Trading hasn’t exactly been easy or fun lately for most....
On top of that, every single day there are bugs. Even today. We fix them, improve the system, test again, and keep pushing.
And the crazy part? We haven’t even rolled out all the quantum technology we have coming.
This is only the beginning. ♟️🚀
OH MY....
Rook 1.8.9 🧠
Brokers don’t hand you yesterday’s option chain. So we built our own.
Rook now compiles its own historical options context using live Schwab IV, 5-minute buckets, 0DTE vs. 1DTE, and the same time of day.
Now Rook can ask a much better question:
Is this option actually expensive or cheap relative to its own history?
But here’s the important part:
Cheap premium ≠ buy.
Rich premium ≠ sell.
Rook scores the vehicle on IV percentile only after establishing the trade thesis.
Thesis first. Vehicle second. Always. ♜

These are absolutely miserable trading conditions. There is nothing clean about this price action. Those who survive this period are going to become millionaires during the next cycle. 🚀
