I’ve been trading SPX credit spreads for a while, and the hardest part isn’t picking direction — it’s managing the trade once you’re in.
    Stops, trailing exits, and emotions mess things up way more than the setup itself.

    I built a small bot for myself that connects to IBKR and:
    • Places and adjusts stop/limit orders automatically
    • Closes spreads early if ATR/ADX conditions flip
    • Recovers state after restart or TWS hiccups
    • Logs everything so I can review risk per trade

    It doesn’t predict — it just executes my plan perfectly.
    I’m wondering: would other options traders actually pay for a platform that automates execution + risk management (not signals)?

    If so:
    • What would make you trust it? (audit logs, paper-trade mode, full broker transparency?)
    • What would a fair monthly price be?
    • Would you want to customize your own spread logic, or just automate entries/exits?

    Not selling anything — just curious if others want to remove the emotion from spread management.

    Anyone here automated their SPX credit spreads or iron condors to manage risk?
