Managing Multiple Brokers in One Platform | Driven by Data Episode 48
This week, Matt and Tyler celebrate a strong winning streak as they dive into strategies for finding cheap calls and puts using the ORATS platform.
They start by reviewing their successful calendar strangle trades on Expedia (EXPE) and SPY, illustrating how patience and strategic positioning led to profitable results.
The duo then demonstrates how to seamlessly switch between multiple broker accounts directly within the ORATS dashboard, simplifying the management of different strategies across brokers like Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, and Tradier.
The main focus shifts to scanning for inexpensive out-of-the-money calls and puts. Matt walks viewers through setting up custom scans in both the stock and option scanners to uncover opportunities where a small investment (as little as $100) could potentially yield significant returns.
They delve into the specific criteria used in the scans, how to interpret the data, and the execution of trades within the platform. Risk management and exit strategies are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of taking profits and effectively managing positions.
To wrap up, they invite everyone to access the option scanner and stock scanner templates featured in the episode and encourage participation in the ORATS community to share scans and trade ideas.

Day trading, short-term trading, options trading, and futures trading are extremely risky undertakings. They generally are not appropriate for someone with limited capital, little or no trading experience, and/or a low tolerance for risk. Never execute a trade unless you can afford to and are prepared to lose your entire investment. In addition, certain trades may result in a loss greater than your entire investment. Always perform your own due diligence and, as appropriate, make informed decisions with the help of a licensed financial professional.
Commissions, fees, and other costs associated with investing or trading may vary from broker to broker. All investors and traders are advised to speak with their stockbroker or investment adviser about these costs. Be aware that certain trades that may be profitable for some may not be profitable for others after taking into account these costs. In certain markets, investors and traders may not always be able to buy or sell a position at the price discussed and consequently may not be able to take advantage of certain trades discussed herein.
