    When we launched the Options API, Tradier created a ripple in the industry. It was not only going to empower self-directed investing, but smart entrepreneurs who will use it to to deliver automated digital advice.  More recently, a study sponsored by the OIC(Options Industry Council ) and conducted by noted research firm Cerulli Associates made comments on how financial advisors are approaching exchange-listed options and how they are increasingly using these to meet their clients’ financial goals. It certainly seems to sync directly with what we are seeing in the retail market in general. Based on the survey conducted more and more Advisors show elevated levels of confidence about options and adopting more diverse options strategies.

  We’re thrilled to share that our partners at Harvested Financial have today caused a ripple of its own, with the launch of their new platform. Harvested is a user-friendly and seamless options-focused Robo-advisor.
