The gap

Your broker sees positions. You think in trades.

Brokers show individual contracts with a quantity and a cost. But an iron condor opened Monday, rolled Wednesday, with one side taken off Friday, is one trade — and the broker has no idea those fills belong together.

01

Adjusting blind

“What happens to my P/L curve if I roll this put down and out?” Answering that means re-entering the whole position into a separate tool.

02

Decisions without receipts

Once a trade closes, there is no way to see what the risk graph and Greeks looked like at the exact moment you made the call.

03

Journaling in spreadsheets

Win rate, profit factor, drawdown, P/L by strategy, progress against a monthly goal — all exported fills and manual math.

OptionFlow puts modeling, history and review in one place — fed by live data from your own brokerage account, so nothing has to be re-entered and nothing has to be reconciled afterwards.

Features

One workspace, from first model to final review.

Five pieces that fit together: model the trade, keep its whole history, let it track itself, send orders when you're ready, and know your numbers.

01

The Workshop

Model any trade or adjustment against live market data, before you place it.

  • Interactive P/L curve — the expiration payoff plus the “today” curve, with breakevens marked
  • Draft vs. Real: edit a live trade’s legs and watch the drafted curve appear beside the real one
  • Built-in live option chain — click a strike to add it as a leg, with bid/ask, IV and Greeks
  • Forward projection with a vol-adjust dial to stress-test the position
  • Position Greeks and an estimated Reg-T margin figure, all on one screen

02

Time Travel

Scrub back through a trade’s life and see exactly what it looked like at any moment.

  • A time slider rebuilds the P/L curve, realized P/L and Greeks as of any point in the trade’s history
  • Undo: replay the trade as if you had not made an adjustment or close — “what would it have done if I held?”
  • Continuous recording while a trade is open, straight from Schwab’s live stream
  • Historical backfill of up to about two years for trades you opened before joining
  • Real observed prices — quiet stretches are filled forward and clearly labelled, never interpolated

03

The Journal

Your fills are grouped into real trades automatically — adjustments included.

  • Multi-leg trades tracked as one unit: realized P/L (FIFO lot matching), unrealized P/L, aggregate Greeks
  • Rolls and adjustments land on the trade they belong to, not scattered across positions
  • Strategy tags, groups and notes — plus merge, split and rename when the automatic guess is wrong
  • A filterable trade log with CSV export, and import from an OptionNET Explorer detail report
  • A live open-trades dashboard that can pop out into its own window

Orders

Turn a drafted trade into a real order — without retyping it.

  • Commit a draft straight to Schwab, with a confirmation dialog before it sends
  • Smart Close: set a target as a % of margin and OptionFlow works out the closing price that hits it
  • Place, cancel and replace from the Workshop or the trade page
  • Every filled order is logged to the right trade automatically — because OptionFlow placed it
  • “Copy as ToS order” produces the familiar one-line thinkorswim order text

Order posting is off by default. You switch it on in settings, and every order needs its own confirmation.

Reports & Goals

Know your numbers: performance, consistency and progress against a plan.

  • Equity curve and P/L by day, week, month and year
  • Profit factor, max drawdown, win/loss ratio, time in market — split by strategy or group
  • Compounding goal plans: OptionFlow draws the planned equity line beside the actual one
  • Ahead of, on or behind plan — for every period, every day

Why OptionFlow

Built around how multi-leg options are actually traded.

Trades, not positions

Multi-leg trades and every adjustment are tracked as one unit, automatically.

A rewind button for your trades

Time Travel and Undo let you replay any moment and test “what if I hadn’t.”

Model to order, in one place

Draft an adjustment on the live risk graph, then send it to your broker. Nothing to retype, nothing to reconcile afterwards.

Live data from your own account

It runs on your real Schwab positions and fills — not numbers you typed into another tool.

Analytics built for options traders

Profit factor, drawdown, P/L by strategy and compounding goal tracking come built in.

Built by an active options trader

Built for how defined-risk, multi-leg strategies are actually traded, and checked against established tools.

Security & trust

Serious about your account, your data, and your orders.

A tool that sits on top of your brokerage account has to earn the right to be there. OptionFlow is conservative by design: read-only until you say otherwise, and encrypted in ways that include us.

OptionFlow is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. It connects to Schwab through Schwab’s official Trader API.

  • Schwab login, Schwab styleYou log in on Schwab’s own page via OAuth. OptionFlow never sees your Schwab password.
  • Tokens encrypted with your keyBrokerage tokens are encrypted with a key derived from your OptionFlow password — an operator can’t simply read them out of the database.
  • Orders are opt-in, always confirmedOrder posting is off by default and stays read-only until you switch it on. When it’s on, every order needs its own confirmation.
  • Invite-only accountsSeparate admin and trader roles. No public sign-up, no strangers in the system.
  • Your data, kept safe and privateData is backed up automatically, and OptionFlow does not sell user data.

FAQ

Questions traders ask.

Which brokers does it work with?
Charles Schwab, including thinkorswim accounts, through Schwab’s official Trader API. It is not affiliated with Schwab.
Does it place trades on its own?
No. Order posting is off by default, and when you switch it on, every order is something you start and confirm yourself.
Does it store my Schwab password?
No. You log in on Schwab’s own page (OAuth). The access tokens OptionFlow receives are encrypted with a key derived from your own OptionFlow password.
Can I see history for trades I opened before joining?
Yes — up to about two years back, using licensed historical options data with Greeks rebuilt from the historical prices.
Why don’t my Greeks match my broker’s exactly?
OptionFlow calculates its own implied volatility and Greeks so its pricing stays self-consistent. Small differences between platforms are normal.
What does it cost?
Free during the beta.
How do I get access?
Access is invite-only for now. Use the “Request an invite” link and we’ll get back to you.
Does it work on my phone?
It’s designed for a desktop browser and built for wide screens — charts and grids can pop out into separate windows for multi-monitor setups.
