My name is Carsten. I've been in the markets for 18 years — not as a job, but as a genuine passion. Trading has always been part of how I think, and that experience shapes every line of code in ThetaLoop.
But life changed. Two kids, a full-time career, and suddenly the hours for watching charts all day just weren't there anymore. I needed a system that works on my schedule — not the other way around.
So I built one. Over the years, I developed ThetaLoop — an algorithm that identifies rule-based research candidates for Cash-Secured Puts. After years of testing across strategies, Cash-Secured Puts delivered the most consistent results for my style of trading: systematic, end-of-day, no screen time required.
I'm based in Germany, trading US options through Interactive Brokers — the same setup most serious European retail traders use.
Every recorded closed outcome remains in the public ledger. Wins and losses. The headline public track record includes CORE + BUILD only. TACTICAL high-volatility outcomes remain auditable in the ledger but are excluded from performance statistics.
I built ThetaLoop because I was tired of black-box services that show you screenshots of winners and quietly delete the losers. If the data doesn't hold up in public, it doesn't hold up at all.
