Welcome to the start of your journey with Option Omega!

🎯 Our Vision

We’ve built a world-class, deeply flexible backtester — and we’re here to help you master it. This onboarding guide is designed to give you the confidence to explore Option Omega’s full feature set and understand how it all works.

🧭 Why This Onboarding Flow Matters

Both the Backtester and Automation platforms are powerful, evolving tools. They’re actively maintained, with new user-requested features rolling out regularly. The Option Omega Academy and the Written Documentation are your go-to, always up-to-date sources for how things work.

One common challenge, especially for experienced traders, is expecting the backtester to behave like their preferred strategy setup. But the backtester isn’t rigid — it’s extremely flexible. You can model nearly any strategy imaginable — once you understand how it works.

🪜 Step-by-Step Progression

1️⃣ Start with the Backtesting Bootcamp

Begin your journey in the Option Omega Academy. The free Backtesting Bootcamp walks you through the platform fundamentals and strategy setup.

Note: The Academy requires a separate login and password. All details on accessing the Academy are covered on the next page.

2️⃣ Use the Written Documentation

Once you've completed the Academy, you’ll likely have built and saved your first few backtests. If you get stuck or need a refresher, the written docs are your best friend. They’re structured for speed — much easier than rewatching videos to answer a single question. Search is fast, accurate, and designed to be helpful.

3️⃣ Join the Discord Community

The Discord server is the heart of OO — a space to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with other traders. It’s free to join, and OO subscribers get access to verified channels through a quick one-minute self-verification.

✅ New User Tip: You don’t need to wait to join — but we recommend completing the Bootcamp and reviewing the docs before asking for help. This shows respect for others’ time and leads to more helpful, higher-quality discussions.

Our Discord Guide covers everything:

• How to set up your account and verify

• Channel structure

• Community guidelines

• A glossary of common abbreviations and acronyms used in discussion

📺 Bonus: The OO Show on YouTube

Option Omega also creates daily videos through the OO Show, along with backtest deep dives, community challenges, year-end lookbacks, and interviews with active users. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite videos in the Welcome section.

Just note: As the platform evolves, screenshots or workflows in older videos may differ slightly from the current platform. For up-to-date answers, rely on the Academy, written docs, and the feature update log available in the Discord community.
