I built a desktop options scanner for cash accounts — looking for 10 traders to beta test

Hey r/options,

I've been trading long options in a pure cash account

for a while and couldn't find a scanner that matched

my approach — so I built one.

It's called Direct Cash Engine. It's a desktop app

(Mac and Windows) that scans 100+ liquid tickers and

filters for options where implied volatility is below

historical volatility — meaning the market is

structurally underpricing the option relative to how

much the stock has actually been moving.

What it does:

\- Scans 100+ tickers (ETFs + mega-caps) in \~3 minutes

\- Core filter: IV ≤ HV20 — finds structurally cheap options

\- Live Greeks from Tradier (free) or MarketData.app

\- P&L matrix, probability cone, IV skew table

\- Kelly Criterion position sizing built in

\- Trade journal with realized P&L tracking

\- No subscription — runs locally on your machine

\- Your own API keys — no data sent anywhere

What I'm NOT claiming:

\- This is not a holy grail

\- The signal confluence score is clearly labeled

as a heuristic — not a backtest

\- It works best during market hours with live data

I'm looking for 10 traders to test it free for 15 days

and give me their honest feedback — good or bad.

Requirements to participate:

\- You actively trade options (any experience level)

\- You have or are willing to get a free Tradier account

(or MarketData.app key)

\- You commit to giving real feedback after 15 days

— what worked, what didn't, what's missing

If you're interested, comment below or DM me and I'll

send you a trial key directly.

Not looking for cheerleaders — looking for honest traders

who will tell me exactly what's wrong with it.
