The missing link
Finding the stock was only half the work.
You found a stock you like. Then came the options chain, with more decisions than most investors want to make from scratch.
Options Launchpad closes that gap by turning the VectorVest opportunity into a smaller set of structured, comparable choices.
The old way
- Search one ticker and expiration at a time
- Compare strikes, spreads and volatility manually
- Calculate risk and reward across separate tools
- Translate an outlook into an order from scratch
With Options Launchpad
- Start with stocks already identified in VectorVest
- Compare structured strategies side by side
- Keep cost, risk, reward and score in view
- See the trade construction before you decide
How it works
From VectorVest view to options strategy in a few clicks.
Start with the stocks you already trust VectorVest to help you find. Then let Options Launchpad organize the options decision.
Choose Your Outlook
Select all, selected or top-ranked stocks, then choose a bullish or bearish strategy focus.
Compare Strategies
Review structured choices side by side with cost, profit potential, return and the OptionsPlay Score.
Model the Trade
Test price, date and implied-volatility assumptions before deciding whether the setup fits your plan.

Options Analysis

Compare and model
Review VectorVest context alongside generated strategies. Compare tradeoffs, then test assumptions in the P&L Simulator.
Screens shown are from a pre-release environment and may change before launch.
Compare the tradeoffs
One stock. One outlook. More than one way to act.
A bullish view does not automatically mean one trade. Options Launchpad can show multiple ways to express the same outlook so you can compare what each approach asks of your capital.
Buy Shares
Direct stock ownership with the largest capital commitment.
Buy a Call
Leveraged upside with defined premium at risk.
Call Vertical
Defined risk and reward with a lower upfront cost.
Work at the list level
Spend less time searching. Spend more time choosing.
Instead of working through options chains one symbol at a time, start with a VectorVest list and move promising candidates into the same organized workflow.
List-level analysis
Begin with multiple VectorVest stocks instead of restarting for every ticker.
Side-by-side strategies
Compare candidates and approaches before choosing where to dig deeper.
One consistent framework
Evaluate each setup with the same decision points and visible metrics.
Important context, surfaced
See the things that can change the trade before you act.
Good stock ideas can still create poor options setups. Launchpad helps surface conditions that deserve a closer look.
Trend Context
See when a strategy may conflict with the stock or broader market trend.
Earnings Awareness
Factor an upcoming earnings event into the strategy and expiration decision.
Liquidity & Spread
Notice wide bid/ask spreads and other trading conditions before entering an order.
OptionsPlay Score123Strong setup ✓
A powerful signal, simplified
Let one clear score help cut through the noise.
OptionsPlay evaluates the strategy in the background and presents a score alongside the alternatives. It provides a simpler starting point for comparing setups while keeping the underlying tradeoffs visible.
How to read it: a score above 100 is presented as a strong setup, an immediate visual cue that the strategy may deserve closer consideration.
The OptionsPlay Score is an analytical comparison tool, not a guarantee or recommendation.
Risk and clarity
Know what you are risking before you decide.
Put trade cost, potential reward and risk in front of you. Then test how the position fits your assumptions and capital.
Plain-English decisions
Understand the trade before you make it.
You should not have to decode an options chain just to understand what a strategy is trying to do or how an order is built.
Know what the strategy is asking
Review what you are buying, what needs to happen, what you can lose and how the choices compare, all in direct language.
See exactly how the trade is built
Review order legs, quantity, expiration, strikes and premiums. Modify available inputs when you have a reason, then re-evaluate the tradeoffs.
Spend less time digging through chains one ticker at a time.
See strategies, explanations and scenario tools in one workflow.
Keep cost, risk, reward and position sizing visible before you act.

Questions, answered
Built to make options feel more approachable.
Options still involve risk and tradeoffs. Launchpad is designed to make those tradeoffs easier to see, compare and understand.
Do I need to be an experienced options trader?
No. Options Launchpad is designed to make strategies easier to read and compare with plain-language explanations and visual tools. You should still understand the risks before trading.
Does Options Launchpad place trades for me?
No. The Trade view shows the order details you can enter with your broker; Options Launchpad does not execute the order for you.
What does the OptionsPlay Score tell me?
The score is an analytical comparison tool displayed alongside strategies. It can help identify setups for closer consideration, but it does not guarantee an outcome.
Can I change the suggested strategy?
Yes. Available strategy inputs such as expiration, strikes, quantity and spread width can be adjusted so you can re-evaluate the resulting tradeoffs.
Which Strategy Focus choices are available?
The current launch experience shown here includes Bullish and Bearish strategy focus choices.
