Pricing

Three things, priced separately, and the biggest one is free. The archive of finished sessions costs nothing and always will; the live stream is the one thing sold; LAB is metered because it burns real compute.

One symbol — SPX. One live plan, billed monthly or yearly; the annual price is the same product billed less often, not a higher tier. Cancel from the account page at any time, and the archive stays free to you afterwards exactly as it was before.

What is in each

What is deliberately not sold

• No buy/sell signals, at any price. Not a tier, not an add-on, not "coming soon". The site publishes measurements and the honest verdict on whether a rule worked — including when the verdict is that it did not.
• No raw vendor tape. The licensed per-print options data behind the archive is not redistributed. What ships is derived positioning, which is ours to publish.
• No direction, on any options strategy. The strategy tester says how far price usually travels and what a structure earned after crossing the spread. It never says which way the next move goes: per-print trade signing on SPX 0DTE is close to a coin flip, so a directional claim built on it would be a guess wearing a number.
• No enterprise tier, no seats, no sales call. Every price on this page is printed, including the dataset licence, and every one of them is self-serve checkout — there is no number you only learn by booking a call, and no per-seat maths.
• No accuracy percentage on this page. Where a claim has been measured it lives in research with its sample and its caveats, next to the ones that failed.

Questions people actually asked

Is the options strategy builder a separate subscription?

No, and it will not become one. Building a strategy and reading it against the measured book is free on any session, with no account — the same terms as the archive. Only testing it over the history costs, and it spends the same LAB credits a backtest does: ten of them, because one press runs sixty-three versions of your geometry rather than scoring one guess. If you already subscribe to LIVE or LAB you have credits and nothing else to buy.

Which options strategies can it test?

Any set of up to four SPX 0DTE legs — condors, strangles, straddles, verticals, or something you drew yourself. Same-day expiry only: the monthly AM-settled root is not ingested, so calendars and diagonals are out, and the page says so rather than failing quietly on them.

Is there a free trial of the live stream?

There is no time-limited trial, and there is something better and permanent instead: every finished session replays in the same terminal, on the same levels, computed by the same pipeline, with no account — and today's levels are free too, 15 minutes behind. The subscription adds the fifteen minutes and the depth: every second instead of one reading, the strike ladder, vanna and charm, and all three books. Check the archive and /now first — it is the honest way to decide.

Do I have to make an account before paying?

No, on any of the three. Checkout takes the payment first and the account is created from the email you paid with; we send a link to set a password. The archive needed no account to begin with.

Do I need LIVE to use LAB?

No. They are separate purchases. LAB backtests on the free archive, so a credit pack on its own is a complete product.

The archive is free — why is the dataset $249?

Because they are different things. Reading a session, replaying it and checking our numbers stays free and always will; that is the evidence the measurements are honest. The licence buys the series in a form you can compute on — every session as files, delivered the evening it closes, on your machine, with the right to use it in your own research. You can still assemble it by hand from the free archive; what you cannot do is skip the work, get tomorrow's automatically, or use it commercially. The licence itself is countersigned by email after checkout; delivery starts the same evening.

Which symbols?

SPX only, deliberately. The whole book is rebuilt from the options tape second by second; doing that honestly for one index is the product, and doing it thinly for 250 symbols is a different one.

What is a credit?

One backtest or one quant optimize. Developing an idea in conversation costs nothing. Purchased credits never expire and are only spent after your monthly allowance; a failed job refunds automatically.

Can I drive it from a script?

Yes — issue a labk_ token on your account page and use the LAB API, or point an assistant at the MCP server.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

There is a comparison page, and it includes the row where a competitor is ahead of us.
