Options Automation Lab
Review the daily top 5 high-probability scanner ideas, inspect the entry and exit plan, then route a manual paper ticket or TradeStation SIM order with risk controls and order logging.
Manual tickets are logged through the internal paper broker. TradeStation SIM submission requires OAuth, an explicit execution-mode selection, and the server-side SIM order-submit environment gate.
Use paper and SIM accounts to validate logic, fills, exits, and logging before live routing.
Every order passes max-loss, quantity, daily-loss, and event-risk checks.
Every signal, quote snapshot, decision, order state, and exit reason is logged.
Curated Scanner Ideas
These are the current active scanner ideas, ranked by probability, volatility edge, premium, liquidity, and diversification. Each card includes entry, exit, risk, and a paper or SIM broker ticket action.

Build a paper order and preview the exact payload before anything is sent. Preview never contacts TradeStation. Orders route only to the simulated account at sim-api.tradestation.com.
Prices are the ones typed above — nothing here re-quotes the market, so a limit entered minutes ago may be stale. Orders reach the TradeStation simulated account only; there is no live-account path in this tool. Educational use, not financial advice.
Risk per trade
Keep paper rules identical to the future live rule set.
Defined max loss
Auto-trade flow should reject undefined or uncapped loss.
Contract cap
Quantity stays bounded while testing fills and exits.
Submission boundary
No unattended live order path is enabled from this page.
Use this as the normalized order ticket before staging anything in a paper or SIM account.
Symbol: SPY Strategy: Bull Put Credit Spread Bias: Bullish to neutral Order: SELL put spread for a net credit Order type: LIMIT, DAY, single ticket for all legs Entry logic: start near mid price, reprice slowly, cancel if unfilled after 10 minutes Max trade risk: $1,000 Max contracts: 3 Execution mode: Manual thinkorswim paperMoney confirmation Exit rules: Buy back at 50% of max profit, stop near 2x credit, close by 7 DTE.
Strategy engine creates a setup only after trend, volatility, and event filters agree.
Rejects wide markets, thin open interest, earnings risk, and expirations outside the rule set.
Checks max loss, daily loss, position count, strategy permissions, and kill-switch state.
Creates a single limit order ticket with strikes, DTE, quantity, and repricing rules.
Routes to manual paperMoney confirmation or the TradeStation SIM API adapter.
Polls open orders, fills, mark price, Greeks, P/L, and expiration risk.
Submits or prepares the closing order when profit target, stop, time stop, or event stop triggers.
Automated UI control is brittle and can create unintended orders. Keep paperMoney confirmation manual unless a supported broker API path is available.
Keep broker adapters isolated. Strategy logic should never call a broker directly.
The manual ticket, SIM payload, and future live payload should be structurally identical except for the submission target.
Disclaimer: For education and paper-trading workflow design only. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. This tool does not provide financial advice. Live broker order routing remains disabled unless a broker adapter and server-side submit gate are explicitly enabled.
