Tom Sosnoff
Founder · Options educator · Platform builder
I build the rails retail traders actually trade on.
Founder and co-founder of six financial technology, media and trading companies. I've spent 40 years making options markets legible, accessible and fairer for the people who show up every day without a desk behind them.

02 — The View
Three convictions behind everything I ship.
i.
Risk is a design choice.
Options reward people who define their downside before the trade. Tools should make that the default, not an afterthought.
ii.
Retail deserves real infrastructure.
Institutional-grade data, execution and analytics, priced and explained for individuals.
iii.
Education compounds.
A trader who understands the Greeks outlasts one who follows a signal. I build media to create the first kind.
