Level 2 strategies, framed properly
Cash-secured puts and covered calls stay at the center, but the analytics are built around real retail execution rather than theoretical screens.
Private pilot for serious self-directed options traders
A broker-native research layer for cash-secured puts and covered calls.
VannaForge helps serious retail traders move from raw option screens to a smaller, better-framed lineup of CSP and covered-call candidates. It emphasizes premium efficiency, downside cushion, execution quality, and a concise desk note before the order reaches the broker ticket.
Built for traders first. Naturally legible to broker, publisher, educator, and platform teams that care about qualified options users rather than casual clicks.
- Cash-secured puts
- Covered calls
- Broker-native execution
- Explainable desk notes
A research layer for self-directed options traders, not a replacement for the broker or the ticket.
Why this matters
Clear contract context, repeatable workflows, and a better fit for broker-affiliate, publisher, and educator conversations.
Overview
A more serious layer above the generic wheel screener.
VannaForge is built for traders who like the simplicity of cash-secured puts and covered calls but want more underwriting discipline before orders reach the brokerage ticket. The workflow is selective enough for serious retail users and familiar enough for self-directed accounts that already live inside established broker platforms.
Research first, execution stays with the broker
VannaForge helps traders shortlist and review candidates; order entry, custody, and account controls remain with the brokerage they already use.
A qualified self-directed audience
The product is aimed at recurring options traders who care about cash usage, assignment risk, and real execution, not casual traffic.
Broker fit
Built to complement the brokerage, not compete with it.
VannaForge sits upstream of execution. It helps traders compare CSP and covered-call candidates, understand the trade, and arrive at the order ticket better prepared. That positioning is naturally relevant to self-directed ecosystems built around active options users, broker choice, and platform-native execution.
Qualified retail options users
The target user already understands cash-secured puts, covered calls, and the mechanics of funded Level 2 options accounts.
Execution stays broker-native
VannaForge is a research and ranking layer. The brokerage relationship, order entry, and custody remain where they belong.
Context before the ticket
Each candidate pairs strike, DTE, effective basis, and a short desk note so the trader reaches the trade ticket with better framing.
Aligned with modern partner ecosystems
The workflow maps naturally to traders who already execute through brokers such as Interactive Brokers, Tradier, and Questrade and want better pre-trade structure without leaving the broker relationship.
For brokers & publishers
A stronger story for affiliate, publisher, and platform conversations.
VannaForge is not trying to own custody, replace the broker, or intercept the order ticket. It qualifies and explains CSP and covered-call opportunities upstream of execution, which makes it a natural fit for broker affiliates, broker-review publishers, trader educators, and platform teams that want a more serious options audience.
Qualified options users
The target user already understands funded Level 2 options trading and is evaluating cash-secured puts or covered calls inside a real brokerage account.
Broker-native by design
Research lives in VannaForge. Order entry, custody, cash controls, approvals, and the trade ticket remain with the broker the trader already uses.
Useful across partner channels
The positioning works in broker-review content, active-trader communities, educator channels, and API-led ecosystems that benefit from better-prepared options users.
Independent research layer. No broker affiliation or endorsement is implied unless explicitly stated.
System note
A clearer look at the decision layer behind VannaForge.
The public system note explains how VannaForge turns simple Level 2 strategies into a more selective decision layer that sits upstream of broker execution. It focuses on premium quality, market backdrop, tradeability, and position fit while keeping the proprietary scoring recipe private.
- A staged research workflow built to narrow the list before the trader reaches the broker ticket.
- A quantitative framework that looks beyond annualized yield, including downside context, execution quality, and capital fit.
- A public explanation for serious retail traders, educators, and potential platform partners, without publishing model weights or internal thresholds.
