February 2026
I’ve been moving fast. Since my last update in January, I’ve shipped over 130 improvements to Optioneer.
My goal remains simple: build the best options tracking and analysis platform for retail traders. That means constant iteration on both the tools you use every day and the educational resources that help you use them better.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new.
1. Learning Hub Expansion: 8 New Strategy Guides
Options trading isn't just about buying calls. To be profitable long-term, you need a playbook of strategies for different market conditions.
I’ve just published 8 comprehensive guides to help you master these setups.
• Protective Collar — Protect stock positions while financing with calls.
• Long Straddle — Profit from major volatility moves.
• Long Strangle — Low-cost alternative for volatility plays.
• Butterfly Spread — Target precise prices with high reward-to-risk.
• Iron Butterfly — Income strategy for low volatility.
• Bull Call Spread — Cap upside to reduce bullish trade cost.
• Bear Put Spread — Defined-risk bets on downside moves.
• Protective Put — Direct insurance for your stock portfolio.
Check out the full Learning Hub to start mastering these today.

3. What’s Next
I’m keeping the momentum going by focusing on depth and quality over breadth.
In the near term, our focus is on:
• Refining and expanding existing strategy guides with more real-world scenarios.
• Adding additional discovery filters to surface higher-quality trade ideas.
• Improving performance and reliability across scans and dashboards.

As always, I’ll prioritize what actually helps traders make better decisions.
