Peter Pru, founder of Option Sellers School, has launched ArkPicks, an AI-powered options research platform designed to help systematic options sellers reduce time spent on manual research and decision preparation. The platform consolidates technical analysis, AI-generated news summaries, liquidity data, earnings tracking, and trade calculations into a single dashboard, transforming a research process that typically takes hours into a workflow that can be completed in seconds.

Why it matters

Many systematic options traders spend significant time each week searching across multiple tools and platforms to gather the data needed to make trading decisions. ArkPicks aims to address this inefficiency by centralizing key research inputs into a single interface, allowing traders to focus more on strategy execution rather than repetitive data gathering.

The details

ArkPicks automates the research layer of options trading by consolidating multiple data sources into one interface. The platform continuously tracks stocks with real-time data, helping traders monitor technical indicators, earnings events, and news developments without switching between platforms. It is designed to support structured options selling strategies, including cash-secured puts, covered calls, and wheel-based approaches.

  • ArkPicks was launched on February 8, 2026.

What they’re saying

“I recognized this pattern not just in my students, but in my own trading routine. The research itself wasn't complex, it was fragmented. I was checking the same types of data every day across different platforms just to reach the same decision framework. ArkPicks was built to remove this friction and simplify the workflow for systematic options sellers.”
