Firstrade Launches Options Builder: A Simpler Way to Trade Smarter
Explore, visualize, and execute options strategies — all in one place.
Firstrade’s new Options Builder helps change that. Designed to make options trading more visual and intuitive, this innovative feature helps investors of all levels explore and execute strategies with better confidence and control.
With Options Builder, Firstrade users can instantly generate ideas based on their market outlook — whether bullish, bearish, or neutral — and visualize potential outcomes through dynamic charts. From exploration to execution, it’s now easier than ever to bring trade ideas to life with a single click.
Strategy Lab
Discover and compare trading strategies tailored to your market outlook. The Strategy Lab visualizes potential outcomes through interactive charts, helping you assess risk-reward trade-offs before placing a trade. The chart also features the Volatility Cone, which projects an asset’s potential price range over time, giving you a clearer view of market expectations and helping you plan with confidence.
Dashboard
The Dashboard provides a complete market overview with real-time volatility analytics and key trading contexts. It displays implied volatility ranks, expected price movements, and peer comparisons, while highlighting essential data such as earnings schedules, dividends, and liquidity indicators. With these insights, you can better anticipate market shifts and make more informed, data-driven decisions.
Firstrade continues to make options trading accessible to all investors with $0 commissions, $0 contract fees, and free educational webinars. With the introduction of Options Builder, the platform now combines powerful analytics, interactive learning, and intuitive design — creating a more empowering trading experience from start to finish.
