No-Code Options Trading Bots
Point a bot at your options strategy. You define the entries, exits, sizing, and schedule in a simple web builder; your bot watches the market and places the trades in your own Schwab, tastytrade, or Tradier account. No code, no VPS, no subscription.
The basics
What is an options trading bot?
An options trading bot is software that runs one options strategy by rule: it watches the market, opens a position when your entry conditions are met, and manages it to your exit. On Whispertrades, each bot is one strategy you configure in the browser. There is no black box and no signal feed. The bot only ever does what its rules say, and every decision it makes is logged for you to review.
Traders call them options bots, trading robots, or autotraders; the mechanics are the same. You supply the strategy and the discipline comes built in: the bot never chases a trade, never forgets a stop, and never widens a rule because it feels lucky.
What your bot can do
Every decision you would make at the screen, expressed as a rule your bot follows exactly.
- Enter on your conditions
- Price levels, technical indicators, volatility, and day and time windows gate every new position.
- Pick strikes like you would
- Select legs by delta, price, or offset from the underlying at the moment of entry.
- Take profits automatically
- Close winners at a percentage or dollar target without watching the tape.
- Cut losses on your terms
- Monitored stops, trailing stops, moving-average stops, and timed exits keep every trade bounded.
- Adjust while it holds
- Roll, close, or modify legs by rule while a position is open.
- Trade on a schedule
- Control exactly when each bot hunts for entries and manages what it holds, plus variables, webhook triggers, and notifications.

Run any strategy you can define
Short puts and calls, long puts and calls, credit spreads, debit spreads, straddles, strangles, iron condors, iron butterflies, and any other structure you can build from long and short calls and puts.
Hosted for you
Your bot runs in the cloud, not on your PC
Some options bot platforms are Windows programs that need a rented VPS to stay online. Whispertrades bots are fully hosted: they run on our servers every session, whether your computer is on or off, and you manage them from any browser on any device.
Evidence first
Prove the strategy before the bot trades it
A bot deserves a strategy that has already survived a backtest. Test your rules against intraday options data, study the drawdowns, then hand the survivor to a bot.

Trades in your own brokerage account
Your bot connects to Schwab, tastytrade, or Tradier through the broker's official API. Orders land in your account like trades you placed yourself, your funds never move to Whispertrades, and a built-in paper trading account lets you rehearse the whole thing first.
Pay per trading day, not per month
Your first bot costs $1.10 per trading day, and the per-bot rate drops as you run more. A bot with no open position is charged half, paper bots are always half price, and disabled bots are free. Compare that with the $99 to $299 monthly subscriptions common elsewhere: you only pay for the days your bots actually run.

Options trading bot FAQs
-
A bot works exactly as well as the strategy you give it. What a bot adds is flawless execution: it never misses an entry, never forgets a stop, and never overrides a rule out of fear or greed. What it cannot do is turn a losing strategy into a winning one, which is why we recommend backtesting your rules before any bot trades them with real money.
-
Truly free bots are rare; platforms that advertise free plans usually require a funded account at a partner broker. Whispertrades has no free tier and no subscription either: your first bot costs $1.10 per trading day, paper bots run at half price, and you pay nothing on days your bots are disabled.
-
No. Whispertrades bots are rules-based: they execute the exact conditions you configure, deterministically, with nothing delegated to a model. If you want an AI that invents trades for you, this is not that. If you want your own strategy executed precisely and transparently, it is.
-
No. Every rule is configured in the web builder, from strike selection to stops to schedules. If you would rather build against an API, we also offer a REST API and TradingView webhook triggers, but neither is required.
-
Charles Schwab, tastytrade, and Tradier, plus a built-in paper trading account that needs no broker at all. You can connect multiple accounts across one or several brokers.
-
We do not. Whispertrades is not a signal service or robo advisor, and we do not recommend trading parameters. The strategies your bots run are yours: you define them, and the platform executes them.
-
No. Bots run on Whispertrades servers in the cloud. There is nothing to install, nothing to keep awake overnight, and no VPS bill.
