Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tiblio and options selling.

What is Tiblio?

Tiblio is an options income platform that screens thousands of options contracts nightly using historical volatility analysis. Each contract is scored on edge, return, theta efficiency, and win rate so you can find high-probability setups for selling puts, calls, and spreads.

How does the HV Screener work?

Every night after market close, Tiblio computes historical volatility for all symbols in our universe, then builds screener snapshots across 7 screen types: Short Puts, Short Calls, Vertical Spreads, Vol Crush, Earnings Calendar, Dividends Calendar, and Low Beta. Each contract is ranked by Edge %, Return %, Return/Day, and Win Rate.

What is the Option Bot?

The Option Bot (internally called "Roger") is an automated trading bot that executes the wheel strategy — selling cash-secured puts and covered calls — through your connected broker. It monitors your portfolio every 10 minutes during market hours, selecting contracts based on your configured DTE, delta, take-profit targets, and margin limits.

What screen types are available?

Tiblio offers 7 screen types: Short Puts (cash-secured puts), Short Calls (covered calls), Vertical Spreads (credit spreads with tighter delta), Vol Crush (high HV rank + upcoming earnings for straddle/strangle plays), Earnings Calendar (spread recommendations near earnings), Dividends Calendar (ex-dividend dates for covered call planning), and Low Beta (S&P 500 stocks with beta under 0.5).

Which brokers are supported?

Tiblio supports Charles Schwab, Tradier, TradeStation, tastytrade, and Alpaca. All connections use secure OAuth authentication. Once connected, you get real-time quotes*, options chains, and order execution for single options. *Real-time quotes dependent on the data provided by your broker.

Is my broker account secure?

Yes. Tiblio uses OAuth to connect to your broker — we never see or store your broker password. Access tokens are encrypted at rest and refresh tokens are renewed automatically. You can disconnect your broker at any time from your settings.

Can I use the screener without connecting a broker?

Absolutely. The screener works with theoretical prices computed from our nightly pipeline. Connecting a broker enriches the screener with intraday data from your broker, but it is completely optional.

What are alerts and how do they work?

Tiblio monitors your positions and sends notifications when they hit your configured profit targets or loss thresholds. You can set different thresholds for each position type (naked options, spreads, stock). Alerts are delivered via email and Telegram.

What is Atlas Portfolio?

Atlas is an automated backtesting system that trades screener recommendations every night using a bell-curve scoring system. It tracks per-symbol win rates, average P&L, and applies performance-based penalty scores. Use it to validate strategies before going live with the Option Bot.

Is there a mobile app?

Tiblio is a web application optimized for desktop and mobile browsers. For on-the-go access, our Telegram AI Agent lets you query screener data, check positions, and ask trading questions through a Claude-powered chat interface.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes — every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You can use the screener, watchlist, alerts, and Atlas backtesting during the trial.

When am I billed and how does the cycle work?

After the 7-day trial, your card is charged on the day you upgrade and on the same date each month (or each year for annual plans). You can switch between monthly and annual billing from the billing page in your account.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. You can cancel anytime from your account settings — there is no contract and no cancellation fee. Your access continues through the end of the current billing period and you will not be charged again.

Can I switch between monthly and annual billing?

Yes. You can move between monthly and annual at any time from the billing page. Annual subscribers get roughly two months free compared to paying monthly.

Do you offer refunds?

We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods, but you can cancel at any time and you will not be charged again. If something is broken on our end, contact support and we will make it right.

Do I need a broker account to subscribe?

No — the HV Screener, watchlist, Atlas backtests, and educational tools all work without a broker connection. Connecting Schwab, Tradier, TradeStation, tastytrade, or Alpaca is optional and unlocks intraday quotes, your live positions, and the Option Bot.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. Your card details never touch our servers — Stripe handles the entire payment flow.

Will I get an invoice for my business?

Yes. Stripe issues a receipt for every charge and you can download invoices from the billing page in your account. You can also add a business name and tax ID to your invoices.

Do you charge sales tax or VAT?

Stripe automatically calculates and applies sales tax, VAT, or GST based on your billing address where required by law. The amount is shown before checkout and itemized on every receipt.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your account, watchlist, journal entries, and broker connections are retained so you can resume where you left off if you re-subscribe later. You can also request full account deletion from your settings at any time.
