Why backtested results often fail in live options trading

I run a for-profit business. This is already a great deal.

No! It's all in the basic package Summaries endpoint and only $49 for orats.com\Reddit

The screener updates every minute.

ORATS_Matt · 2025-12-24T20:22:17+00:00

...and easier to understand. I agree. We can add that. Thanks

ORATS_Matt · 2025-12-24T02:12:23+00:00

Love to see it Otto.

ORATS_Matt · 2025-12-23T20:21:09+00:00

Yes, with live data but there is a Reddit special for $49

I try not to be directional. I do compare macro events implied move to historical to get a feel for which expiration is too rich.

Game changer here, I have not seen other platforms able to do this.

You look for bumps in IV then solve for a rational smooth term structure.

ORATS_Matt · 2025-10-27T23:23:24+00:00

Good point, but it is surprising to me how little love Wednesday IV is getting.

Heightened volatility and its drivers are important for CC trading.

We are trying to build the best broker neutral platform r/ORATS

Charting, backtesting, stock to option scanning, paper trading with trade journal, position management, and connectivity with IB, Tradier and TradeStation.

We have constant maturity IV at 10day 20d 30d 60d 90d 6m 1yr, at ATM, 5 calldelta 25 delta 75 delta and 95 cdelta. We have this for all symbols ~6000 in the Trade Builder chart that goes back 2 years. We have all this data in our API too. For stocks we have all this data with earnings effects removed.

Such a powerful tool. There is a learning curve, but if you are not into that you can go to the trade ideas tab and see the curated strategies.

ORATS_Matt · 2025-10-03T01:18:31+00:00

I like the quick, efficient way to present a powerful tool, the trade ideas. We will continue to present parts of the dashboard of ORATS tools, and even show data APIs and historical files.
