Trade Finder was an award-winning stock options tool that Michael led the design and development of at TD Ameritrade. It helped advanced traders place hypothetical trades to make informed decisions on high-risk, high-reward options strategies. Traders could adjust key variables:


  • Direction (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral): Market outlook.

  • Timing (7 Days, 30 Days): Time until option expiration.

  • Probability of Success (10%–90%): Data-driven profit likelihood.

  • Allocation (2%–8%): Portfolio percentage used, with caps for risk management.
