How it works

1
Defined-risk positions

Each trading day, the strategy sells 1-DTE put spreads on SPY, XSP, or SPX, targeting predefined market conditions near the close. Because every position is structured as a spread, the maximum potential loss is known before the trade is placed.

2
Built-in risk management

Each position is monitored and managed according to predefined rules. Automatic stop-loss protection is designed to limit adverse moves, with additional safeguards in place for unusual market conditions.

3
Your account. Your control.

Trades execute directly in your own Schwab brokerage account, which remains in your name and under your control. You connect securely through Schwab, and Blue Ledge Labs never sees or stores your brokerage password.


Why we built this

We built this application around a simple idea: growing wealth through options doesn't have to mean chasing outsized returns or constantly watching the market. We wanted to create a way for people to pursue a repeatable options strategy built around consistent, defined-risk positions — without requiring an enormous amount of capital. Strategies like this can be difficult to execute manually on a consistent basis. They require monitoring the market, selecting contracts based on predefined criteria, entering orders at the right time, managing pricing, and applying risk controls — all on a regular schedule.

That's why we built the automation in the first place.

Our approach

Our goal is to make a rules-based options strategy easier to execute consistently by automating the repetitive, time-sensitive parts of the process. Rather than requiring users to manually monitor the market and place each trade, the application follows predefined strategy parameters to identify and execute qualifying trades and manage them according to established risk controls.

The goal isn't to get rich overnight. It's to provide a practical, disciplined, and automated approach for people who want to put their capital to work consistently — without turning options trading into a full-time job.

Built for the long run

Results depend on running the strategy over many trades, not days or weeks. It suits self-directed traders who want a systematic, hands-off approach and can commit to a full-year horizon.

Users can adjust their number of invested lots at any time; changes apply the next trading day. Trade history and performance are visible throughout the year, so users can track how the strategy is performing in their account.
