OPTIX / OPTIONS TERMINAL CLOSED BETA  ·  MACOS  ·  IB TWS

CLOSED BETA — REQUEST ACCESS

Model every leg.
See all the risk.

Optix is a desktop options terminal for Interactive Brokers — a chain that streams straight from TWS, a builder that models whole structures as what-if scenarios, and risk graphs that respect the skew. Backed by a journal that keeps every trade honest.

OPTIX — SPX WORKSPACE

ABSTRACT RENDER — THE OPTIX WORKSPACE: CHAIN · BUILDER · RISK GRAPH

01

The terminal, in five panels.

CHAIN LIVE FROM TWS

A chain that keeps up.

Live bid, ask, IV and Greeks streamed from your own TWS session — dense, fast, and subscribed per workspace, so the data follows the work instead of the other way around.

TRADE BUILDER SCENARIOS

What-if, times N.

Trade Builder treats a structure as a set of scenarios: shift price, vol or date, compare candidates side by side, and commit the variant you actually want — per scenario, not per leg.

RISK GRAPH SKEW-AWARE

The risk graph, with skew.

P&L curves that respect the volatility surface — T+0 through expiration, skew-aware Greeks. Not flat-vol fiction.

JOURNAL ONE IMPORT

Your record, intact.

A trade journal wired to your fills, with lifecycle tracking from open to close — and a first-class OptionNET Explorer import, so years of history come with you.

COPILOT IN DEVELOPMENT

A copilot that reads your chain.

In development: an AI copilot grounded in the same engine — it queries your chain, positions and risk locally, and explains a trade the way you'd ask a desk mate.

02

Built for Interactive Brokers.

LOCAL SOCKET
Optix talks to TWS or IB Gateway running on your own desk — a localhost API connection, not a cloud relay. If your terminal is up, Optix is live.
YOUR KEYS STAY HOME
No broker credentials, no account data, no order flow ever touch our servers — there are no servers in the data path.
NATIVE, NOT A TAB
A Rust analytics engine in a native desktop shell. Cold starts in moments, holds a full chain without breaking a sweat.
