Strategies and Rules

Your trading plan, checked trade by trade.

Write the rules you trade by once. Tick them off on each position, and over time see which rules are worth keeping and which ones you keep breaking.

Example strategy

Discipline is feedback, not willpower

Every trader has rules: only sell puts on stocks you'd own, take profit at half, never hold through earnings. The hard part is knowing which broken rules actually cost you money. Arlo keeps the checklist next to the trade, then shows your win rate with each rule followed and with it skipped. Some broken rules turn out not to matter. Some matter a lot. Now you know which.

Built for the way you trade

Start with a wheel, covered call or spread strategy and make it yours. Each strategy chooses the numbers that matter for it, so a wheel shows effective cost basis and premium collected while a spread shows its own.

What you get

  • Start from a built-in strategy or write your own
  • Entry and exit rules as a checklist on each position
