# QuantWheel > Options trading software for directional traders (real-time gamma exposure, vanna, charm, and options flow) and income traders (a cash-secured put and covered call screener, roll finder, and a broker-synced journal with cost basis after assignment), plus copy trading alerts, an options-native AI, free GEX tools with no account, and an MCP server and REST API for AI assistants and developers. QuantWheel is options trading software for two kinds of traders: directional traders who read dealer positioning (gamma exposure, vanna, charm, options flow) before a trade, and income traders who sell cash-secured puts and covered calls (the wheel strategy) and want screening, rolling, and a journal that tracks cost basis after assignment. QuantWheel is not a broker and does not manage money. Broker connections are read-only. The one exception is optional order routing that a user can switch on for a TradeZero account; nothing is placed unless the user asks for that exact trade. QuantWheel does not give personalised investment advice and does not promise returns. Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Anyone can use the free GEX tools without an account, and the sandbox at https://quantwheel.com/dashboard/wheel/find-deals shows the whole product with sample positions. Paid plans add live data, broker sync, and AI access. ## Start here - [Homepage](https://quantwheel.com/): What QuantWheel does, in one page. - [Sandbox](https://quantwheel.com/dashboard/wheel/find-deals): The whole product with sample positions.

[For a directional trader](https://quantwheel.com/products/gex-dashboard): See where dealer gamma is concentrated (call wall, put wall, gamma flip), confirm with live SPY and SPX flow, then pick strikes and expirations on the heatmap. - [For an income trader](https://quantwheel.com/products/options-screener): Connect a broker read-only, screen cash-secured puts and covered calls by yield, delta, days to expiration, and company quality, roll with the roll finder, and keep a journal that adjusts cost basis after assignment. -
