I.C.E. Capital

INTERACTIVE · CAPITAL · EXPOSURE

Trade 0DTE options directly on the chart — and read your whole position as one line.

I.C.E. Capital is a mobile-first app for trading 0DTE calls and puts on any ticker that offers same-day options — SPY, QQQ, and a growing list of index and single-name symbols — without ever leaving the price chart. You tap once, the engine picks the nearest-strike contract and fills it with a market order, and from that moment your entire options position — profit, loss, risk, time decay — is drawn as a few simple lines you manage with your thumb. No option chain. No juggling greeks. No switching between your charting app and your broker.

The core idea: it doesn't predict the market — it measures your position. Every option already produces real, live data (the "greeks"); most traders ignore it because it's too complex to read in real time. I.C.E. Capital surfaces that raw output as one honest line — your live breakeven — and lets you trade off it. Think of it as a dyno for an options contract: strap it down, watch the actual output, tune your exit.

Below are the three screens you'll use, what every button does, and a live demo you can play with at the bottom.

Screen 3 — The Command Center

Once you're filled, this is where you live. Your position is three lines on the chart and four buttons. Everything is measured, in dollars, in real time. And every action here — +1, Reverse, −1, Close, and every TP or stop trigger — is a market order on the nearest-strike contract.

Every feature, explained

Live P&L — the big number in the console, in plain dollars. It's your real mark-to-market profit/loss, measured against the live breakeven, so it already accounts for time decay. No greeks to interpret.
The breakeven line measured, not predicted — the price where you're flat right now. It's built only from real data (the option's live price, the underlying, and what you paid). It drifts upward through the day as decay eats the option. The distance between price and this line is your profit.
The three-phase stop — before you're in profit, the stop sits at your max risk (the one number you set). The moment you're genuinely green ("armed"), it hands off and trails the breakeven, ratcheting up and never loosening. So: capped loss if it never works, roughly scratch if it works then reverses, full run to TP if it keeps going. When it triggers, it closes you with a market order.
The take-profit drag to a level — a fixed price target you set at a level the market actually trades to. Unlike the stop, it doesn't move with decay — but its dollar value shrinks over time, which honestly shows the cost of waiting.
The field — the shaded zones make your position spatial: red loss zone below the stop, green target zone above the TP, and the clear play area between. As the stop trails up, the field visibly narrows — reach the target before it closes.
tp / stop readouts — above the +1 and −1 buttons. tp = how far price is from your target; stop = how far before you're stopped out. Each colors as it gets close.
+1 / −1 / Reverse / Close — your whole management toolkit, all on one screen: scale in, scale out, flip direction, or exit — without ever opening an order ticket or an option chain.

How it works under the hood

Market orders only — at the nearest strike

Every action in the command center — your entry, every +1, Reverse, −1, Close, and every TP or stop trigger — is a market order on the nearest-strike 0DTE contract. There are no limit prices to set and no chain to scroll. The trade-off is deliberate: certainty of a fast fill over price-shopping, which is exactly what 0DTE scalping demands.

How the contract is chosen automatically

When you tap Buy, the engine reads the live underlying price and the ticker's strike grid, then selects the listed 0DTE contract whose strike is nearest to the current price — a call for Buy call, a put for Buy put. A near-the-money strike tracks the underlying tightly, which is exactly what lets you manage the trade on price levels instead of on an obscure option price. You confirm, a market order fills it in milliseconds, and the position appears on the chart. No strike math, ever.

Adding to winners — while staying protected

Most traders instinctively average down — pouring more into losing trades to lower their cost. I.C.E. Capital is built for the discipline the pros use instead: add to winners. When a trade is working and you tap +1, it buys another nearest-strike contract at market and blends your breakeven upward. The key is that your trailing stop comes with it — it keeps ratcheting underneath the larger position, so pressing your edge never un-caps your risk. You scale into strength while the stop holds your worst case near breakeven. More size on your winners, the same protection underneath — the opposite of how most accounts blow up.

The arming moment — your risk flips to breakeven

This is the heart of the system. At open you set your stop by dragging it to your max-risk level. Then, the instant the trade becomes genuinely profitable (it "arms"), that stop snaps up to your breakeven and trails it from there. From that moment, your downside is gone.

AT OPEN price breakeven STOP · max risk you drag to set ▲ your max loss ARMS snaps to BE ARMED price · in profit STOP = BREAKEVEN (stop was here) snaps up worst case now ≈ scratch

Left: at open you drag the stop to your max risk — the red gap below breakeven is everything you can lose. Right: the moment it arms, the stop snaps up to breakeven and trails it. The downside gap is gone.

Here's why it matters. Once armed, even in the worst case — your TP never hits, you never manually close, the market reverses on you — the stop pulls you out at roughly breakeven. A scratch. Compare that to a normal trade, where a reversal hands you a large loss well beyond breakeven. Arming converts "I could give it all back and then some" into "the worst I do is break even" — automatically, with no decision required. Breaking even is a favorable outcome by default when the alternative is an uncapped loss.

Adding to a winner pulls breakeven toward your position

price breakeven (before) breakeven (after +1) +1 lifts breakeven toward price

Each +1 buys another nearest-strike contract at market and re-averages your cost — so the breakeven line is drawn up toward the current price, and your trailing stop rises with it.

When you tap +1 on a winner, you're buying more at the current (higher) price, which raises your blended cost basis — so the breakeven line is pulled up toward your position. Your stop, pinned to that breakeven, climbs with it. You add exposure to a working trade and your protected floor rises at the same time: more size on your winner, the worst case still held near breakeven.

Try it — your new toy

The objective
Open a position, drag your green TP to a level, and reach it before the rising red stop climbs up and catches you. Tag the green target and you win the trade; get caught by the red and you're out. Theta raises the red the longer you wait — so move, or get out.

Tap Buy callConfirm & buy, then drag the green TP and the red stop lines to any levels you want — both are fully draggable. Manage with +1 / Reverse / −1, and tap Close to exit. (Simulated data for demonstration.)

I.C.E. Capital — interactive prototype with simulated data. Live market data, broker execution, and the production engine are the build. The novel core is the live breakeven line: it doesn't predict the market, it measures your position — turning the complexity of options into a single line you read like a chart.
