PHILADELPHIA, Pa., February 8, 2026 (Globe Newswire) — Peter Proulx, founder of Option Seller School, has launched ArkPicks, an AI-powered options research platform designed to help systematic option sellers reduce the time they spend on manual research and decision preparation. The platform combines technical analysis, AI-generated news summaries, liquidity data, earnings tracking, and trade calculations into a single dashboard, transforming research processes that typically take hours into workflows that can be completed in seconds.
ArkPicks was developed in response to Pru’s identification of persistent inefficiencies in options trading. Many systematic traders spend 10 to 15 hours each week repeatedly searching for the same information across multiple tools. According to Pull, a typical research session often takes two to three hours to switch between charting platforms, earnings calendars, news feeds, and liquidity screens, only for the process to repeat the next day as market conditions change and new opportunities emerge.
“I recognized this pattern not only in my students, but also in my own trading routine,” Pule said. “The research itself wasn’t complex, it was fragmented. We were checking the same type of data on different platforms every day just to arrive at the same decision framework. ArkPicks was built to remove this friction and simplify the workflow for systematic options sellers.”
ArkPicks automates the research layer of options trading by centralizing multiple data sources into one interface. The platform continuously tracks stocks with real-time data, allowing traders to monitor technical indicators, earnings events, and news developments without having to monitor multiple platforms. The system is designed to support structured options selling strategies such as cash-backed puts, covered calls, and wheel-based approaches.
Based on technical screening criteria, the platform automatically identifies stocks that are oversold for put selling opportunities and overbought stocks for call selling setups. According to internal performance benchmarks, ArkPicks has reduced the average research session from 2-3 hours to less than 60 seconds by consolidating screening, analysis, and calculation processes into one dashboard.
Main features of ArkPicks:
- Auto trading setup screening: Identify cash-backed puts and covered call opportunities using predefined technical and ranking criteria.
- Integrated market and technical data: Combine live pricing, technical indicators, support levels, greeks, dividend tracking, and earnings monitoring into one dashboard.
- AI-generated news summary: Continuously updates market news summarized by AI to help traders evaluate developments efficiently.
- Liquidity and execution awareness: Flags liquidity conditions and options chain characteristics that can impact trade execution and price stability.
- Strike and premium calculation: We suggest strike ranges and premium targets based on technical price levels and strategy parameters.
- Ranking of smart opportunities: Score potential deals using technical strength and collateral return metrics.
- Custom watchlist screening: Users can track a personalized list of US stocks and ETFs with continuous data updates.
- Multi-device access: Enables monitoring and investigation across desktop and mobile devices throughout the trading day.
ArkPicks is built on the educational foundation of the Options Sellers School, which teaches conservative options strategies through Ark Options Strategies. It emphasizes a five-pronged approach that includes cash-backed put premiums, collateralized interest, covered call premiums, dividend income, and long-term stock price appreciation. The program emphasizes process-driven decision-making inspired by long-term value investing principles.
Option Sellers School maintains an education-focused position that avoids income claims and performance guarantees. ArkPicks follows the same framework and is designed as a research and decision support platform rather than a trading signal service or investment advisory product.
“ArkPicks does not provide investment advice or trading recommendations,” Pule said. “The purpose is to organize data in a way that allows traders to make independent, structured decisions within their own trading plans.”
Pru is an active options seller and educator with many years of experience teaching conservative, systematic selling strategies with an emphasis on risk awareness and process discipline. Through Options Sellers School, he promotes what he describes as an anti-guru approach focused on transparency, compliance, and repeatable trading frameworks.
ArkPicks is now available to traders seeking a centralized research environment designed to reduce repetitive analysis, improve workflow efficiency, and streamline trade preparation.
