💡 Pro Tips

​

1. Always Review Before Confirming

AI is smart but not perfect:

• Check the strike and expiration
• Verify quantity fits your risk
• Confirm you have buying power
• Make sure it’s the right ticker!

You have final control. Don’t blindly execute.

---

​

2. Adjust Quantity for Your Risk Tolerance

AI might suggest: “Buy 5 contracts” Your decision:

• New trader? Start with 1
• Experienced? Maybe 5 is fine
• Small account? Buy fewer
• Large account? Scale up

Never risk more than you’re comfortable losing.

---

​

3. Use Limit Orders for Options

Options spreads can be wide:

• Market order might get bad fill
• Limit order ensures your price
• Wait for your price to get hit

Exception: Very liquid options (SPY, QQQ, AAPL) might be okay with market orders.

---

​

4. Set Stop Losses Immediately

After trade fills:

1. Go to Portfolio tab
2. Find your position
3. Set stop loss at AI’s recommended level
4. Protect your downside

Don’t forget this step! Stop losses save accounts.
