Oculus tokens function as the fuel required to power the actual building of your automated algorithmic strategies. Oculus is a proprietary AI strategy builder, developed by Forefront Solutions Inc. (the parent company of SPIKE). Oculus tokens are used per iteration within the Oculus platform. For options, the number of tokens per iteration is slightly higher than the number of tokens per iteration for an equities strategy. Your Oculus tokens refresh automatically at the start of every billing cycle, with the amount depending on your SPIKE plan. If your token balance depletes before the cycle resets, you can purchase an instant token top-up directly inside the Oculus platform.

SPIKE isolates strategies by connection paths. If you need to scale up and run additional distinct automated options algorithms simultaneously, you can expand your capacity by purchasing an extra SPIKE connection for $1,000/month, or another SPIKE plan entirely.

No. If you use the Oculus builder to construct an equity or stock-focused strategy, you can deploy and run it through the SPIKE execution layer completely free of charge. Both options and equities configurations built in Oculus deploy straight into the SPIKE network environment seamlessly under standard token pricing.

Every standard account tier has direct access to our general ticket support queue. For operations that require specialized service, purchasing our White Glove Add-On connects you with a dedicated platform representative and grants access to our priority live call scheduling system.

No. SPIKE is strictly a technology and execution layer. Your capital always remains securely in your own native brokerage account. SPIKE only utilizes API keys to read data and route execution commands based on your algorithmic parameters.

Your API credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit, ensuring maximum institutional-grade security for your deployment environments.

Not at all. Oculus is engineered as a natural language and logic-based visual builder. You simply define your structural parameters, risk constraints, and entry/exit triggers, and the AI compiles the complex executable code on the backend.

Yes. Within the Oculus platform, each iteration generates its own backtest. Every iteration runs a comprehensive simulation where the concept of your algorithm is tested against historical market data to ensure the logic performs as intended before deploying to SPIKE.

SPIKE routes commands with sub-millisecond latency internally. Total round-trip execution speed will ultimately depend on the specific response times of your natively connected brokerage.

SPIKE currently integrates with Alpaca, TradeStation, Tradier, Webull, and Tastytrade; however, we are always working to expand our integrations.

Absolutely zero. We operate on a strict flat-rate SaaS subscription model. You keep 100% of the profits generated by your algorithms. We charge zero licensing fees on your deployed capital; the only fees are from your SPIKE plan and any add-ons you choose to purchase.

Currently, the SPIKE infrastructure and the Oculus builder are highly optimized strictly for US Equities and Options markets. Crypto and Forex pipelines are not actively supported in the current build version.

The FA Infrastructure Pack allows you to purchase dedicated 1-hour strategic consultation sessions on-demand for $200. These tailored calls are designed to help you optimize your Oculus logical layouts and enhance your active SPIKE algorithms.

Cash accounts can execute basic long calls and puts. This will ultimately depend on your brokerage of choice.

Yes, scaling your infrastructure is instantaneous. Upgrades are prorated immediately, granting you access to higher token limits, while downgrades will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

SPIKE handles trade execution speed to the best of its ability, but ultimately fill prices will depend on your brokerage of choice.

SPIKE features automated safety protocols. If the API connection to your brokerage drops, the system will immediately halt additional trade signals, log the error, and send you an instantaneous alert so you can manage the open position manually.

No, options contracts are standardized (typically representing 100 shares). Fractional routing is not supported for options, though fractional share routing for standard equities is supported if your native brokerage allows it.

A single algorithmic strategy built within Oculus can scan and monitor up to 15 ticker symbols simultaneously, executing immediately when conditions are met.

There is a knowledge base within Oculus to help with any strategy ideas, as well as an auto mode, where you can engage with Oculus while it asks you how you would like to build your strategy.

Oculus currently relies on a massive internal library of standard and advanced technical indicators. Custom script importing (like PineScript) is currently not available.

The standard JOLT, SURGE, and MAX plans come with a single user seat to ensure security. If you require multi-user access or team configuration, please contact support at [email protected].

SPIKE itself enforces no minimum capital requirements. However, your integrated brokerage will have its own minimum account balance requirements to maintain margin privileges and execute options contracts.

No. Oculus tokens auto-refresh at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle based on your plan tier. Any unused tokens from the previous month are flushed during the reset protocol.

You can terminate your active subscription directly through the billing section of your platform dashboard at any time. Your algorithmic deployment access will remain active until the end of your current paid cycle.
