What is proprietary about Alternative Options?

What makes AOCTA unique is our fundamental approach to option trading. In an industry full of quants that are tracking every penny to the millionth decimal place, trying to make a fraction of a penny in a fraction of a second, Alternative Options takes the long view. We conduct extensive research, fundamental and technical analysis, and apply first principles to formulate long-term market forecasts. These forecasts are not necessarily projections of what the market will do, but more often what it will not do. Our understanding of physical commodities is put to use through exchange-traded derivatives. We take a largely fundamental approach to trading options.
