The What
Skipper is an automated trading platform that helps active traders trade volatility of any listed instrument using options.
The Why
You can trade the pure volatility of the broader market with VIX.
But trading the pure volatility of a single instrument, such as Apple Inc. (AAPL), calls for actively managed delta-neutral options strategies.
Managing them can get complex, very quickly.

Skipper helps traders actively manage or automate the full lifecycle of complex delta-neutral portfolios with real-time trading.
