OptionGrid is a Windows desktop investment application from Butler Creek Software, built specifically for covered call investors. It is not a general-purpose enterprise SaaS product or an online trading platform; rather, it is a standalone tool centered on stocks, option chains, covered call opportunity screening, portfolio tracking, and report generation.
The software is built around various types of Grids: Covered Call Research Grids let users compare the potential covered call returns of multiple stocks; Quick Grid is used to view the option chain for a single stock and identify contracts with potentially attractive returns; Portfolio Grid helps manage current positions, closed trades, and profit scenarios. The product description mentions more than 25 built-in predefined grids and 60 data filters, with support for sorting and filtering by column, customizing columns, copying, printing, and exporting text files, with data that can be further used in Excel. It also supports multiple trading accounts, making it suitable for individual investors who want to maintain separate historical records by account.
OptionGrid is sold as a one-time purchase for $229; the official site emphasizes that there are no monthly data fees or maintenance fees. The purchase includes free minor-version upgrades, free technical support, and discounts on future versions. A 14-day free evaluation version is also available, which is useful for checking whether the data source, interface, and investment workflow fit the user’s needs.
Its strengths are its clear positioning and integrated workflow for covered call screening, calculations, portfolio management, and tax reporting. The one-time fee reduces long-term subscription costs, while the interface emphasizes text buttons, grid-based reading, and quick operations, making it suitable for investors who do not want to build complex spreadsheets. The drawbacks are also clear: the software is explicitly designed for Microsoft Windows, with no apparent Web, macOS, mobile, or cloud capabilities; market data comes from a 20-minute delayed quote server, so it is not suitable for real-time trading decisions; and there is no disclosed brokerage trading integration, API, team permissions, or compliance certification. Overall, the product is closer to traditional personal desktop software.
It is best suited to individual investors whose main strategy is covered calls on U.S. stocks and who value screening and position records, especially those who want to avoid ongoing subscription fees. It is not suitable for users who need real-time quotes, automated trading, team collaboration, or institutional-grade risk control and compliance. The text does not provide information on access from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. If access or payment is inconvenient, alternatives include option tools built into brokerage platforms, self-built Excel models, Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers TWS, or other online options analysis services.
