Everything in one place
Two products built to work together
The backtester and the automation engine share one architecture, so the exact rules you tested are the rules that trade.
Backtest
Test on the data that actually traded
Every fill priced from real market bid/ask at 1-minute resolution from January 2013. Up to 8 legs, 16 templates, intra-minute stops for 0DTE, portfolios, and optimizations that sweep hundreds of variations for you.

Automate
Turn a backtest into a live strategy
One click creates an automation from any backtest of up to 4 legs, on the same engine. Connect Tastytrade, Tradier, Schwab, or TradeStation, set your allocation, and let the cloud handle entries and exits around the clock.

Every fill comes from recorded market quotes since January 1, not a pricing model.
Stop-loss resolution
Per-second stop checks on SPX and SPY 0DTE trades.

FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers on trials, tiers, and getting started. The full list covers data, backtesting, modeling, and automation in depth.
Browse all questionsWhat is Option Omega?
Option Omega is an options trading platform with three connected products: Modeling to visualize any strategy, a powerful Backtester to pressure-test it against real historical data, and Automation to trade it live across your brokerage — all in one place, with no code.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — a 7-day free trial is available on the Lite, Essential, and Plus tiers (Premium is not included). The trial has every parameter the paid plan has, with two limits: historical data covers the previous three calendar years, and Optimizer usage is limited during the trial. Be sure to click the 7-day Free Trial button at checkout rather than the Choose Subscription button.
Do I need to install anything or run a server?
No. Modeling and backtesting run right in your browser, and automation runs on professional cloud infrastructure. There's nothing to install and no VPS to maintain.
How do I learn the platform?
Start with the free Backtesting and Automation Bootcamps in Option Omega Academy, then dig into the written documentation and the YouTube library. There's also an active Discord community where members and the team answer questions every day.
What plans are available?
Four tiers: Lite (modeling), Essential (backtesting), Plus (backtesting + modeling), and Premium (trading + backtesting + modeling). Premium includes everything. You only ever need one active subscription.
