You set the rules.
The bot trades them.
Configurable options strategies — supply & demand zones, session levels, opening-range breakouts, gamma scalping — running on your own Charles Schwab account, with risk controls you own end to end.
4 Live Modules
Configurable Risk Engine
Schwab Native
0–1 DTE Focus
Trading Modules
Four live modules. A fifth in development.
All modules run independently with their own logic, risk controls, and execution engine.
Supply & Demand
Detects institutional buying and selling zones using momentum-based pivot analysis across 1H, 4H, and 1D timeframes. Each zone is scored 0–100 for strength, capped per timeframe, and labeled with a status. Entries trigger on zone touch with disposition coefficient sizing and a partial exit ladder. Includes the Weekly Plan System — upload your TradingView charts and the bot bypasses all scanners, trading your hand-drawn zones automatically all week.
Session Levels
Trades bounces and rejections at key intraday levels — PMH, PML, PDH, PDL, and GEX-derived levels. Each level has a per-level entry mode toggle: First Touch for immediate entries or Await Confirmation for candle-close validation.
Opening Range Breakout
Captures the morning directional move by trading breakouts of the opening range. Designed for early-session momentum with defined risk and scaled exits.
Gamma Scalp
Trades dealer-positioning levels from live gamma exposure data. Wall Rejection fades price into major call and put walls where dealer hedging pressure historically turns price. Riptide rides momentum continuation through a broken wall.
Tradewind (Swing) — In Development
A multi-day swing module currently in development and inactive — it does not place trades and is not available to new accounts. It is being validated in observation mode before any live use. When active, it is designed to arm candidates with a daily trend and momentum filter, trigger entries on a 4-hour confirmation, and hold longer-dated contracts with a dedicated swing exit ladder.
SPY & QQQ only. 0–1 DTE options — calls at demand zones, puts at supply zones. A multi-day swing module (Tradewind) is in development and not yet available.
Risk Engine
The regime filter most retail bots don't have.
Most automated trading bots have one risk control: a stop loss. Yacht Club Algos runs a five-layer institutional macro regime filter on every trade before a contract is selected.

Event day zone validation
If conditions aren't right, the bot doesn't trade.
If conditions are marginal, it trades smaller.
If conditions are right, it executes at your configured full size.
Every one of these decisions is a deterministic, pre-programmed rule that you enable and configure. The platform does not generate signals, recommendations, or directional calls — it mechanically executes your configured rule set.
This is how institutions think about risk.
Now it's a rule set you control.
Bot Conviction Card
The bot's live market read — on your screen.
One card per ticker, live all session: the same dealer-positioning data the modules trade. Automated or manual, it's one source of truth.
Gamma Walls, Live
Call wall, put wall, and the zero-gamma flip, computed live from the option chain — the levels where dealer hedging concentrates.
Dealer Regime
Long-gamma dampens moves. Short-gamma accelerates them. Total GEX tells you which tape you’re trading.
Conviction Score
Bias plus a 0–100 score from fixed, transparent inputs — a computed metric, like any indicator. Not a recommendation.
Wall Behavior
Touch counts, live squeeze detection, and exhaustion scoring as price presses into a level.
Tape Confirmation
A gatekeeper layer: live order flow has to agree with the structural read — confirm or veto.
Standalone by Design
Keep every module off and trade the walls yourself. The card shows the levels and context — every decision stays yours.
The Conviction Card is computed market data — a transparent formula over live options-chain structure. Not investment advice, a trade recommendation, or a directional call.
Built for discipline. Designed to protect.
The risk engine that runs underneath every trade isn't a simple stop loss. It's a multi-layer institutional regime filter that reads the market before the bot touches a single contract.
- ✓VIX term structure monitoring — detects backwardation before panic hits price
- ✓Regime-aware position sizing — GREEN market gets full size. YELLOW gets 75%. ORANGE gets 50%. The bot scales with conditions, it doesn’t just stop.
- ✓SPY trend filter — calls blocked in downtrends. Puts blocked in uptrends. The bot only trades with the tape.
- ✓Implied move awareness — on FOMC, CPI, and NFP days, zones outside the options market’s expected range are skipped automatically.
- ✓Vol-of-vol stability check — when VVIX signals unstable options pricing, delta ranges widen and premium floors rise.
- ✓Paper mode — full platform, zero risk. Identical execution to live trading, no orders submitted to Schwab.
- ✓GEX panel — gamma flip level, call wall, put wall, and top magnets on the Overview tab. The bot uses this data in Gamma Scalp and Session Levels.
- ✓Discord alerts — every entry, exit, and partial close. Private webhook so only you see your trades.
How It Works
From setup to live trading in under 10 minutes.
Connect Your Broker
Link your Charles Schwab account via secure OAuth. We never see your password or have withdrawal access. Setup takes under 2 minutes.
Configure Your Strategy
Enable the modules you want, set guardrails and macro regime filters under Config, and dial in contract filters like DTE, delta range, and premium floor. Every account starts in paper trading mode — the full logic of every module runs against live market data without placing real orders — until you explicitly switch to live.
Monitor and Grow
Watch trades execute in real time. Check the GEX panel for gamma flip level, call wall, put wall, and top magnets. Get Discord notifications for every entry, exit, and partial close. Review performance and adjust.
Security & Trust
Your Account. Your Control.
We know handing a third-party app access to your brokerage account is a big ask. Here is exactly what that means — and what it doesn’t.
We cannot touch your money
The Schwab OAuth connection grants trade execution access only. We cannot withdraw funds, transfer balances, or make any account changes. It is physically impossible with the permissions we request.
Your credentials are encrypted at rest
Schwab OAuth tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they ever touch our database. We keep only the minimum account identifiers Schwab requires to route your orders, and your account number is shown masked in the app. Revoke access from your Schwab dashboard at any time and it is immediately cut off.
Your data is yours alone
Every user’s trades, balances, and settings are isolated at the database level — no other user can see your positions, P&L, or account activity. Platform access is limited to operations like support and system monitoring. Your data is never sold, shared, or used to train models.
You are always in control
The bot only trades when you tell it to. You set the risk limits, the position sizes, and the modules that run. You can pause, stop, or disconnect at any second. The bot executes your plan — nothing more.
