About OpenStrike
Built around your plan.
OpenStrike is a trading platform for active traders. It keeps what you planned, the decisions you made as the market moved, and what actually happened together from start to finish.
Placing an order is the easy part. The harder part comes before it: deciding what you will do before price reaches your level, while you can still think clearly.
That is where OpenStrike begins.
Plan the trade before the market moves. Set your entry, stop, target, size, risk, and the conditions you need to see. When the setup can go either way, plan both the Long and Short sides.
When the trade is there, bring the plan forward, review it against the live market, and decide whether to act. Afterward, the original plan is still there beside every change and every fill.
What we believe
The trader decides.
Your plan stays in front of you. The record shows what actually happened.
No scores. No grades. Just what you planned, what you changed, what you did, and what happened.
The record is yours. The judgment is yours.
Why I built it
I’ve spent more than twenty years in the market.
For years, I kept running into the same problem. I’d know the stocks I wanted to trade before the session. I knew the levels that mattered and what had to happen for me to take the trade. Then the market opened and things changed.
A stock I planned to go long would roll over. Another ticker would start moving on news and pull my attention away. Sometimes the trade I planned did exactly what I expected while I was watching something else.
That happened more often than I want to admit.
The problem wasn’t that I needed another chart or another watchlist. I already had plenty of those. The problem was where my plan lived. It was scattered across charts, notes, watchlists, and in my head. So when the market started moving, my plan was the first thing I lost.
I wanted one place where the trade I’d already planned stayed in front of me. My levels. My risk. What would change the trade. And when it was time to act, I wanted everything else out of the way.
So I built the platform I always wanted and could never find.
That became OpenStrike.
