See every trade. Know your real results. Trade with confidence.
8TCtrader is desktop software for options traders. It connects to your brokerage account and turns a list of fills into the trades you are actually managing — opened, adjusted, rolled and closed — with your true profit, risk and fees in plain view.

Why 8TCtrader
Your broker shows you legs and fills. You trade strategies — spreads, butterflies, calendars, covered calls — and you adjust and roll them over weeks. 8TCtrader keeps each strategy together as one trade from the first order to the last, so you always know where it stands and what it earned.
Features
Built around the way options traders actually work.
Positions at a glance
Every open trade on one screen — current value, entry, net credit, days to expiration and return on risk. Double-click to open the full trade.
Performance you can trust
Monthly, yearly and date-range results with average risk and return on risk, fees included down to the individual leg. Export to a spreadsheet or PDF.
Rolls kept in one trade
A trade rolled five times is still one trade, with the result of every roll shown so you can see whether rolling is helping.
Plan before you place
Start from a strategy template, see the risk graph before you commit, and try "what-if" adjustments to see the cost before you act.
Paper trading
Switch the whole program to paper mode and practise with the same windows, the same order rules and the same reports — kept separate from your real account.
Your broker's records, confirmed by you
8TCtrader reads your broker's transaction history, proposes how the fills fit together, and books nothing until you confirm it.
Charts
As many stock charts as you want, each placed where you want it and remembered for next time.
Alerts Coming
Watch prices, greeks and time of day, and get notified when a trade needs your attention.
Strategy testing Coming
Try a strategy's rules against past market history before you trade it with real money.
