Stillwater Case Study
A live product site that screens U.S. stocks each trading morning and prices protective options collars (put underneath, call on top) so traders can see floor, cap, and cost before the open.
The Challenge
Protective collars are a proven hedge, but most traders still piece together screening, option-chain math, and trade context by hand before the open.
The Solution
Vertical Labs built Stillwater as a product website and research surface that runs a morning screen, shortlists names, and prices each collar’s put, call, net cost, floor, and cap from the option chain.
The Outcome
Stillwater now presents the collar workflow end to end, from pre-market scan to waitlist, with measured trade examples and a path for traders to join when seats open.
