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…

Analysis Tools

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

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

Earnings Analyzer

Every quarter when a publicly traded company releases earnings, the stock experiences an immediate repricing event.

Engulfing Candles

An engulfing pattern is a classic two-candle reversal formation used in technical analysis.

An inside bar is a classic two-candle contraction formation that indicates market consolidation.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator measures the distance between two exponential moving averages (EMAs).

An index indicates where price traveled. Market breadth measures how many constituents participated in the move.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI), developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., is a bounded momentum oscillator that quantifies the speed and size of recent price changes.

Volume Analysis

Raw volume metrics (e.g., trading 40 million shares) provide zero contextual insight without referencing an asset's baseline liquidity.

Standard volume charts show when trading happened by plotting volume across time (x-axis).

Forecasting Tools

5-Day MA Extensions

A moving average is just the average closing price over the last N sessions.

This tool measures where an asset's current closing price sits relative to its absolute high and low prices over the trailing one-year period.

Daily MA Positioning

This tool looks at three short- to medium-term trend lines: the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages.

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 is a session that changes its mind.

The market closes at one price and opens at another. Everything in between happened while you were asleep.

The 14-day RSI is a momentum gauge that runs from 0 to 100. It measures how fast price is moving and how consistently it's moving in one direction.

The Squeeze Rank tool measures how tightly a stock is coiled, helping you identify when it is compressed and more likely to make a larger move.

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).

04

Leveraged Volatility

ETF Decay Projection

This tool looks up every past moment when a leveraged ETF (like UVXY) traded at the exact same percentage above its all-time low as it is today.

Spike Probability Ladder

You pick a leveraged ETF and two spike levels, a starting point and a target.

Spike Range Analyzer

Because leveraged volatility and inverse ETFs (like UVXY) decay lower over time and constantly make new all-time lows, this tool ignores price ranges.

05

Volatility Tools

Contango vs Backwardation

The Contango vs Backwardation Analyzer tracks the slope of the VIX futures curve.

VIX Beta Tracker

The VIX Beta Tracker measures volatility reactivity by calculating the exact number of VIX points added per 1% drop in the S&P 500.

VIX Dealer Gamma (GEX)

The VIX Dealer Gamma Radar ranks daily net dealer gamma in a trailing 6-month window and filters by VIX regime to project forward VIX spike probabilities.

VIX Futures Volume Radar

The VIX Futures Volume Radar normalizes daily volume against its trailing annual baseline to identify equivalent sessions and project forward VIX spike probabilities.

VIX Range Analyzer

VIX is mean reverting. A stock can climb for a decade and never look back. VIX cannot. It spikes, then falls back toward its usual range.

VIX vs VX30 Radar

The VIX vs VX30 Radar evaluates the point gap between spot VIX and VX30 alongside its 5-day rate of change (Gap 5D Change).

Volatility Risk Premium

The Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) Radar calculates the spread between implied VIX and historical realized volatility.

The VVIX Radar isolates historical instances where VIX and VVIX exhibited similar conditions, then projects the forward probability of VIX spikes or collapses.

Fundamentals

Revenue vs Price

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

07

Smart Charts

Smart Charts automatically shades the candle bars that match the price pattern, technical indicator, or volatility regime you select.
