Options Trading

A butterfly is a single position made of four options across three evenly spaced strikes.

Buying an option is a bet that the underlying will move far enough, fast enough. This tool is built around that exact principle.

Options Floor Trades

While the vast majority of options orders are matched electronically in milliseconds, a select tier of large institutional orders is still negotiated manually by floor…

When you sell an option you collect a cash premium upfront and retain it as net profit as long as the underlying stock stays away from your strike price.

Short Ratio Spreads

A front ratio spread combines three individual option contracts into a single position: you buy one option closer to the current market price and sell two options of…

Forecasting Tools

The 52-week range position measures where an asset's current closing price sits relative to its absolute high and low prices over the trailing one-year period.

Daily Breakdowns

A Daily Breakdown represents an explicit technical event where an asset breaches the prior session's low and fails to recover before settlement.

Daily Breakouts

A Daily Breakout represents an explicit technical event where an asset breaches the prior session's high and sustains that gain through settlement.

Daily MA Extensions

A Moving Average (MA) Extension quantifies the structural stretch between an asset's price action and its baseline trend level.

Daily MA Positioning

A Moving Average (MA) Stack evaluates the relative alignment and spatial geometry of three short-to-medium-term trend baselines: the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving…

Daily Return Streak

A Daily Return Streak is an uninterrupted sequence of trading sessions that all closed in the same direction (consecutively positive or consecutively negative).

Daily Reversals

An intraday reversal represents a dramatic directional shift within a single trading session: price expands away from the market open in one direction, hits an extreme…

An overnight gap represents a discontinuous price jump occurring between yesterday's closing price and today's official market opening price.

The IV Momentum engine evaluates two interconnected metrics derived from a stock's 30-day forward-implied volatility (IV): its current absolute level and its…

MA Trend Persistence

A moving average streak measures momentum by tracking how many consecutive trading sessions an asset's closing price finishes on one side of a given moving average.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator bound between 0 and 100 that quantifies velocity and directional price persistence.

Weekly Breakdowns

A Weekly Breakdown represents an explicit technical event where an asset breaches the prior week's low and fails to recover before the Friday close.

Weekly Breakouts

A Weekly Breakout represents an explicit technical event where an asset breaches the prior week's high and sustains that gain through the Friday close.

The 5-day range measures absolute price movement across five consecutive trading sessions, so it reads volatility independently of direction.

Weekly Return Streak

A Weekly Return Streak is an uninterrupted sequence of trading weeks that all closed in the same direction (consecutively positive or consecutively negative).

Analysis Tools

An anchored VWAP is the average price people have paid for a stock since a particular date in time.

Correlations answers one question about two tickers: when one of them moves, what does the other one usually do?

Earnings Analyzer

Every quarter a company reports, and the stock does something about it.

Engulfing Candles

An engulfing candle is a two-bar pattern. One bar closes in the opposite direction to the last one, and it does so decisively enough to swallow the whole of it.

An inside bar is a period that stayed entirely within the previous one. It did not make a new high, and it did not make a new low.

The MACD is a distance. The zero line is where that distance disappears.

An index tells you what the market did. Breadth tells you how many stocks agreed with it.

The Relative Strength Index compares how much a stock has gained on its up days against how much it has lost on its down days, over a rolling window.

Volume Analysis

Raw share counts are useless for comparison. A stock trading 40 million shares means nothing until you know what it usually trades.

An ordinary volume chart puts volume under time. A volume profile puts it beside price.

Revenue vs Price

Over long time horizons, equity values generally align with corporate revenue performance.
