Gatsby

Options trading platform for a new generation of tradersWe believe options are a powerful tool, and are perfect for many traders who want risk and and want to make money when stock prices fall. With a small account, investors can dial up the risk and trade on or against public companies and ETFs. Despite this, young traders are turning to other assets like crypto, penny stocks and sports betting, all the while skipping over a potentially more time-tested and regulated security in options.Gatsby helps new traders bridge the language gap and start trading options like the pros, eliminating unnecessary jargon and adding a social layer to help find inspiration from friends and the community, helping both new and experienced traders utilize the options markets in a new way.We believe the options markets are exploding, with record-setting years in 2018, 2019, and already in 2020, but younger investors have been left behind.It's been more than a decade since OptionsXpress, OptionsHouse and ThinkorSwim were acquired, and more than 10 years since anyone has done anything new and innovative in options. Gatsby is the next word in options trading, cutting the jargon and reimagining what an options trading platform looks like in 2020.Since the close of our last round, Gatsby has completed a clearing broker integration, been granted our Broker Dealer license from FINRA, launched to the public, acquired over 7000 accounts and is executing over 100,000 options contracts (with some days exceeding 3000 contracts).
