How it works

Three steps, always the same: choose, size, apply.

MetricAlgo does not ask you to invent a strategy. It puts thousands of systems already measured on history in front of you, lets you try the ones that convince you on your own capital and, when you are ready, tells you the moment the conditions appear.

Before choosing anything

It starts with a question.

Try it: pick a question and a market. It is the same way of thinking you use inside the platform.

What is the most reliable system on SPY?

Among the weekly systems that sell options on SPY, the most reliable closed in profit 96.6% of the time, over 625 trades (2010–2026).

Type of trade: Sell Put.

Option sellers win often, but when they lose they can lose far more than they collect: a high frequency frames the risk, it does not remove it.

Historical probabilities measured on past data, not a guarantee about the future.

This is the card as a free-plan user sees it. Results are historical and do not guarantee future ones; figures are for one contract.

Inside a system

Everything you need to decide, nothing to take on trust.

Every system has its card, and the card shows the uncomfortable parts too. That is where you see whether a system is right for you.
