How can we help you?

We've published three new blog posts that cover options selling strategies.
We are continuing our effort to offer more educational materials, and we've published three articles. 

Check those articles out - and if you have requests for more material you want us to cover - feel free to reach out!

Implied volatility is one of the most important aspects of options trading. In addition to the backtests we ran on our indicators, we've written a series of articles designed for beginners in our blog that explains different aspects of IV.



You can read more about those in our blog posts:

And if you still need to read it - We recommend reading our backtesting IV article series, where we backtested the IV behavior. Link: Implied Volatility backtest – Predicting IV Change

Here is the help article about our IV suite. 

We are happy to announce that we've integrated an additional data provider to incerease our data on future dividends. When we look at the optionable universe we see an increase of 25-50% in stocks that have data on future dividends. 

This will be very useful for our Dividend capture screens, wheel screens, and every screen that includes dividends stocks. 

The feature is live now. You can try our options screener for free.

We wrote a short guide about selling ITM call options in our blog. This is a risky strategy, but selling ITM actually reduces some of the risk over the long term as you collect more premium but have almost the same risk and nearly the same margin requirements.

This is just one of the tools in your toolbox, and we are trying to help you sharpen it :-)

We've updated the Excel/Sheets plugins so they will work faster, more securely, and we've added more data (Inre​​nsic/Extrinsic Values).

Soon, we will launch our Q3 Version. But this is live now.

We just published a new guide in our blog about Options Trading Journal.

Many traders don't maintain a trading journal for their trades and push it for 'later' when they will be 'serious' or profitable. We believe that a trading journal is one of the best tools you can use to become a profitable trader.

A trading journal allows you to learn from data, fight biases and emotions, and thus learn and improve faster.

We wrote a complete guide about trading journals (you don't need a sophisticated software to get started), What they are, what they need to include, how you can use them, etc. And also included some information about our trading journal feature.

We are happy to publish our new guide: A comprehensive guide for the Wheel strategy.

The wheel strategy utilizes some market edges to provide a systematic approach to options trading.

We wrote this guide to help you improve your trading and learn how to use Samurai to execute these trades.
