Legend utilizes Altavest's proprietary ThetaTrader platform to enter and exit complex option spread positions according to ThetaTrader's algorithms and parameters. While Legend takes advantage of ThetaTrader's entry signals, Legend also utilizes Altavest's proprietary Risk Thermal Indicator (RTI) to automatically exit both winning and losing trades according to the RTI algorithm.
