I'm very skeptical about these products that "simplify" things like options trading. There's a lot of depth to options trading that goes beyond betting on an upside or downside of a stock and these products seem to be adopt this vulture-like mentality of trying to engage a lot of potential investors by saying here's this really way to make a lot of money in the market and this simple approach. You can lose a LOT of money trading options and the risks are far greater than just trading stocks ( time value is against you when you buy options, not when you buy stocks, you can lose money on loss of volatility in options etc...)

Thanks Chris, and hey guys - thanks for checking out Gatsby! We think that options are really powerful, and yet none of our friends use them because they feel too complicated. We wanted to re-think the experience to make it simpler and more social. We're in beta and are onboarding waitlisters each week over the next couple months. Please signup and give us feedback!

Great UX - Great way to give normal people like me easy access to options trading. Can I long Gatsby?

This is great. I'm interested in options trading so would love to try this out. Do I need an existing brokerage account (etrade, etc) that you link to in order to place options trades, or are you guys a new type of broker similar to how robinhood is?

I have really enjoyed using the beta version of this product. Makes something complex so simple and accessible for anyone.

This is a brilliant product that gives everyone now the 'option' (uh hu!) of trading within a much simpler and intuitive environment - great job Gatsby - well done.

How much does it cost to trade options ?

Cheers Jeff for the incredible evening product testing. Really excited to start using it on the official launch.

Needs to have a big market of users

Pros:

Simple easy to use and cheap

Cons:

Needs more users

Sick UI!! What stocks can I trade on?

This is awesome - what's the minimum amount to start trading?

Will Gatsby be available in Canada or other countries outside the US?

Is the project still alive?

Looks like a great product guys. Just one question can I see what my friends are trading?

This looks promising, I just signed up for the waitlist 🤘

How much do I need to know going in? I've never traded options before.

looks crisp, I look forward to try it :D!!!

Love this idea! Have used the beta version and it's super simple and intuitive. Great work guys

Really excited for this, I think the social component could be a lot of fun.

Awesome product guys. Well done. I’d love to see more of this for the European market.
