OWS - Optionist Work Station
OWS supports options trading with scanner functions, the VIX curve, 0DTE automation, and IB reporting.
Overview
What OWS is built for
OWS is meant to make options trading easier. That includes the current VIX term structure curve and stock scans for setups such as the ITM covered call strategy.
It also includes a 0DTE automated trader that can launch trades with the selected rules including stop-loss logic. This can be tested in both demo and live accounts.
Requirement
TWS and API must be active
The tool only works with an active TWS and an enabled API. Without that connection, OWS cannot pull data or use trading functions.
IB Statement Helper
Independent from TWS
The only feature that works without TWS is the IB Statement Helper. It turns the long report CSV into a compact report with performance data and a suggested tax-filing structure.
This is without guarantee and should be used with great caution. The conversion takes less than 1 second after pressing the button.
