/ticker-whitelist has the searchable list. Requests for new tickers go to [email protected].
Can I trade SPY, QQQ, and SPX?
If the ticker is on the whitelist, yes. SPY and QQQ are typical inclusions; SPX availability varies. Check /ticker-whitelist.
Hours, holidays, and news
Can I trade 0DTE options?
Yes, on supported tickers. Follow the expiration cutoff rules. Expiring positions are auto-closed at 4pm Eastern on expiration day.
Can I hold positions overnight?
Yes. Overnight positions are allowed in every phase on all accounts.
Can I trade big news (CPI, FOMC, earnings)?
Yes. News trading is allowed.
What happens if I do not close an expiring position?
Expiring positions must be closed before the cutoff time on the Rules page. If you do not, positions are automatically closed at 4pm Eastern to eliminate assignment risk.
What happens on market holidays or early closes?
Hours and cutoffs follow the market calendar. On early close days, cutoffs can be earlier.
Execution and access
I placed a trade and it did not fill the way I expected. What can I do?
We do not guarantee fills. If you think something is wrong, contact support with your order details.
Can I trade while traveling?
Yes. Trading is online. If you run into access issues, contact support.
Can I trade from my phone?
Yes. The platform is online and accessible from a mobile browser. If access is blocked from a location, contact support.
Can I trade through a VPN?
Trading over a VPN is generally allowed but may introduce latency. Some VPN exit nodes are blocked by payment risk controls; if you hit a wall, disable the VPN for the affected action.
Can I trade the same account from two devices at once?
Yes. The same account can be open in two sessions, though only one set of orders should be live at a time to avoid conflicting state.
