What options bots automate
Options bots open and close positions on rules such as days to expiration, delta or price levels, and can manage multi-leg trades like spreads. Option Alpha builds bots without code, TradersPost routes alerts to brokers, and NinjaTrader automates options on futures.

FAQ
Are options trading bots risky?
Yes. Options can lose value quickly, and selling options can expose you to large losses. A bot follows rules without judgement, so size positions conservatively and understand each strategy before automating it.
