We find the credit spread. You place the trade.
Slacktide scans the options chain every night and again before the open, then sends you a short list of defined-risk credit spreads by email or SMS. Credit, max loss, probability of profit and break-even are worked out before the alert lands. You decide, and you execute in your own brokerage.
No trading happens inside Slacktide. Alerts are research, not advice. See how it works

How it works
- 01
Join the waitlist
Drop your email now. When Scanner opens you'll choose email, SMS, or both — two minutes of onboarding and you're on the list for the next scan.
- 02
We scan after close
The scanner works through liquid underlyings, reading price action against key technical levels — support/resistance, moving averages, Bollinger Bands — alongside VIX trajectory and macro events. It then models defined-risk credit spreads ranked by credit, probability of profit, and IV rank. Tickers are set by us, not picked per account.
- 03
We re-check before the bell
SECOND CHECKA second scan runs before market open, re-verifying every setup against the freshest price data. If nothing's changed, it's a go. If price has moved through the entry zone overnight, you're told to skip or wait — not sent into a setup that's already invalidated.
- 04
You place the trade
Each alert carries strikes, width, credit target, and the exact conditions to enter or skip. You fill it in your own brokerage account.

The email carries the full ranked list with every field from the trade card. The SMS carries the top pick — ticker, strikes, credit target — short enough to read at a red light.
We show our work, wins and losses.
Every position Slacktide alerts, across all three risk presets, is followed to its expiration date and marked a win or a loss. A setup sent on more than one night counts as one trade. Nothing is removed after the fact.
Each line is one position at expiration, one contract. Taller means a bigger result. Average win +$97 · average loss −$321.
Tiers
FREE DURING EARLY ACCESS — NO CHECKOUT YETNightly and pre-market scan alerts by email and/or SMS, with full scan history in the dashboard. The first tier to open — join the waitlist to get in line.
Set your own risk profile: target probability of profit, preferred DTE range, and risk limits — the scan applies your parameters instead of the default rule set. No brokerage connection required.
Signups open after Scanner.
Alerts sized to your actual account — position limits, buying power and concurrent risk factored into every setup. The most distant tier on the roadmap: it depends on integration work beyond our own software.
