How OpenStrike works
Plan the trade before the market moves. Trade it when it does.
A trade begins before you send an order. OpenStrike keeps what you planned, the decisions you made as the market moved, and what actually happened connected from start to finish.
Here’s one trade, from plan to review.
1. Build the plan
You see a setup taking shape before price reaches your level. This is when you can think clearly, because nothing is on the line yet.
Choose the ticker. Set the entry, stop, target, size and risk. Add the conditions you need to see before you would take the trade.
You can plan both directions when the setup calls for it. One plan can hold a Long side and a Short side. If either side reaches its trigger, OpenStrike brings that side forward for you to review. A trigger never sends an order.
You build the plan before the moment arrives. The hard thinking is already done.
2. Act when the trade is there
Price moves toward your level. OpenStrike brings the plan onto the chart.
Your entry, stop and target are where you placed them. Your size, risk and potential reward are beside them. The conditions you set are tracked against the live market.
Now you make the decision that matters: is this still the trade you planned?
If it is, review the order and send it. Nothing is submitted until you confirm it.
The market will not always give you the exact trade you pictured. If you change how you execute it, OpenStrike records the change without rewriting the original plan.
Your original entry, stop, target and risk stay intact. What you actually did is recorded separately, so you can see the difference after the trade.
3. See what actually happened
The trade is over. Now you can review it without relying on memory.
See where you planned to enter and where you filled. Compare your target with where you took profit. See what changed, when it changed, what your broker accepted and what actually filled.
You can replay the trade from beginning to end.
OpenStrike does not tell you whether the trade was good or bad. It gives you the record. You decide what it means.
One trade, kept together from the first plan to the final review.
