Options trading is still painfully manual.

Watching charts on TradingView. Scanning options chains. Setting price alerts. Managing exits.

Today, we're launching Options Trading on Conviction.

What if trading options was as simple as describing your strategy? Conviction turns your idea into a trading agent that monitors the market, selects contracts, and executes when your conditions are met.
