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.
A large video thumbnail with a play button used AI to verbally and visually guide traders through each potential trade and its pros and cons.
