Welcome to Tradient

What Tradient is, who it's for, and the two surfaces you'll spend your time in.

5 min read

Tradient is an options trading scanner and analyzer. It finds the best risk-adjusted trades on the tickers you care about, walks you through the math behind them, and helps you actually put them on — sized to your account, copyable to your broker, and tracked once you do.

TL;DR
  • Scan liquid option chains across 24 live strategies and 56 library templates.
  • Every trade comes with a Tradient Score, edge in dollars, and a plain-English “why.”
  • Paper-trade unlimited fills for free, or connect SnapTrade on Trader / Pro.
  • Two surfaces — Radar (find & analyze) and Portfolio (track & journal).

Who Tradient is for

Tradient is built for self-directed options traders who treat position selection as a numbers problem, not a vibes problem. If you’ve ever stared at a chain wondering whether the 30-delta put on AAPL is actually a better trade than the 25-delta put on MSFT, that comparison is the entire reason this product exists.

It is nota robo-advisor and it does not give personalized investment advice. You’re still the trader; we just hand you better-ranked candidates and the math to defend them.

The two surfaces

Almost everything you do in Tradient happens on one of two screens. Learning what each one is for is the fastest way to get productive.

Radar — find and analyze trades

Radar is where you start. It has five tabs: Describe (goal wizards + NL on Trader+), Library (56 pre-tuned templates), Saved, Focus (single-ticker deep analysis), and Builder (custom multi-leg structures on Trader+). Results come back ranked by Tradient Score with edge, probability of profit, and capital sized to your account. See the Radar overview.

Portfolio — paper, live, and journal

Start with the built-in Tradient Paper broker (unlimited fills on every plan). On Trader / Pro, connect SnapTrade for live accounts, multi-leg detection, and optional auto-paper / calibration. History is your journal — closed trades, equity curve, and CSV export.

Where to go next
New here? Read Your first scan then paper the result. Already scanning? Jump to How the Tradient Score works. Curious what your plan includes? See Plans — we keep the matrix there rather than duplicating it in every article.

How Tradient is different

There’s no shortage of options scanners. Most of them are glorified filter cabinets — give me chains where IV rank > 50 and delta is between 0.20 and 0.30 — and then dump the results in a table sorted by net credit. Two things are different here:

  • Composite ranking, not single-axis sorting. The Tradient Score blends probability of profit, risk:reward, IV-rank fit, liquidity, and annualized return into one number, weighted to match what actually drives long-run P&L. You can still sort by any column, but the default rank is deliberately the hard question.
  • Regime awareness. Every scan is enriched with the current VIX regime and a per-trade regime_fit score. A short condor that looks great in isolation gets downgraded if VIX is rolling at 11 and you’d be selling dimes for nickels.

Two minutes of housekeeping

Before you scan: Tradient is data-driven. Your first session will feel a little flat if you don’t set yourself up. Three things take a minute each:

  • Build a watchlistof the 10–30 tickers you actually trade. Scans default to a liquid universe, but they’re much sharper against your own names.
  • Set your account size in Profile. Capital sizing on every result uses this number to drop trades that won’t fit and to show contracts × collateral × % of capital on the ones that do.
  • Optional later: connect a live broker via SnapTrade(Trader: 1 connection; Pro: unlimited). You don’t need this to scan or paper-trade.

That’s the orientation. Next up, walk through your first scan — it takes about ten minutes and you’ll have touched both surfaces by the end.
