Ctrl-Trade (control trade) is probably the first trading platform engineered by a hacker, with a focus on quantitative trading and risk management. It gives you clarity on your portfolio, enforces disciplined trading activity, and lets you model custom edges to stand out from the crowd.
Take a look inside
Everything you need to start trading options with confidence — and keep growing as your skills develop.
Allocation limits, position sizing, correlation across your book, and normalized Greeks — so you always know your real exposure, not just how many contracts you're holding.
Play back historical markets and paper trade through them to build real market awareness — no capital at risk, just reps.
Connect multiple brokers to aggregate your entire portfolio in one place, with full control over every position across every account.
Every trade, roll, and closure aggregated into one clean history — so you can see exactly how you traded in the past and actually learn from it.
A guided analysis builder to research custom edges, explore probability scenarios, and hack the markets — before you ever risk a position on them.
Backtest paired structures and complex multi-leg strategies before you risk a cent live.
Ctrl-Trade is invite-only while we build out the private beta. Request an invite and we'll reach out as spots open up.
