About

This chart shows two NYSE sessions of 5-minute price candles with ±1σ bands, VWAP, and call/put walls, a right-hand open interest profile for the 0–1 day window, a bottom net drift panel of cumulative call/put premium and volume, and horizontal levels (gamma flip, max pain, walls) within ±100 points of the last price.

Instructions

Read the price candles against the green and red background bands to see whether price moves with or against net OI dominance. Compare the OI profile fills at key strikes with the horizontal walls, gamma flip, and max pain to spot clustering of positioning. Watch the net drift panel to check if cumulative call or put premium and volume confirm the price direction. The header badge gives a quick view of the dominant OI side near the spot price.

About

Five regular-trading-hours sessions of 30-minute candles with weekly and monthly VWAP, call and put walls, and a right-hand open-interest profile for strikes expiring in 15 days or less.

Instructions

Read the OI profile against price to see where puts or calls dominate near current levels. Compare the 1DTE curve to the full ≤15 day profile to gauge near-term hedging pressure. Watch for price reacting at walls, gamma flip, or max pain when those levels align with net OI dominance bands. The header badge gives a quick summary of which side controls the strikes around spot.

About

Thirteen weeks of daily price bars for SPX, ES, and SPY with quarterly VWAP, gamma-derived put floor and call ceiling, JPM collar strikes, COT cost basis, and Fed fair value scenarios overlaid. Anchors include quarterly VWAP, dealer gamma walls, the disclosed JPM collar, COT cost basis from CFTC data, and Fed fair value from a dividend-discount model.

Instructions

Read price against the quarterly VWAP to gauge intratrend bias. Watch how price reacts at the put floor and call ceiling for gamma-driven support or resistance. Compare the COT cost basis to current price to see if levered funds are underwater or in profit. Use the Fed fair value lines to assess how a 25 bp policy shift would reprice the index.

COT Positioning

COT Positioning

Futures positioning harness

Experimental comparison of methods that turn weekly index-futures positioning into price-axis context. Three stacked panels share one time axis over the last six months. The spine leaves a forward window for a one-month scenario fan.

  • SPX spine — spot, regime shading, extreme markers, cost-basis line, and anchored levels. Colored dashed lines are constant-drift SPX tapes (+1σ / flat / −1σ / −2σ) that leave the last SPX print. Dotted rays mark the ST / MT / LT trend pivots — the 20 / 60 / 200-day moving averages where each horizon flips sign.
  • CTA panel — historical trend-follower estimate. Each horizon compares price to its moving average, divides the gap by the noise a random walk makes over that window, and passes the result through tanh. The three horizons are averaged and then vol-targeted: exposure shrinks when realized vol runs above 15% and levers up to 1.5× when it runs below. Colored dashed lines are implied CTA exposure under each SPX tape, re-scored every session, with the value at the horizon end labeled.
  • COT index — 0–100 normalization over a 156-week rolling window; 90/10 bands.

Positioning is aligned to its public release date (Friday, three days after the Tuesday snapshot) so the chart does not front-run the weekly report. The latest report is therefore up to a week behind the tape, and says nothing about flow since the snapshot.

The badge reads asset-manager flow — the four-week change in that cohort's net book, with the size in the subtitle. Asset managers are the directional cohort here: over the 156-week window they were net long in every week, while leveraged funds were net short in every week. The leveraged short is largely a cash-futures basis position, not a view, so its level and its entry price carry no sentiment. The entry line is labelled by side — for a net-short book an entry below spot is a loss, not support.

The CTA panel carries a dollar axis only when the model earns it. Unit exposure is fit by least squares to CFTC leveraged-funds net notional over the full 156-week window; the subtitle shows the correlation. Below r = 0.40 the panel keeps the [−1, +1] signal axis instead of publishing a dollar number the data does not support. Leveraged funds are a proxy cohort, not CTAs, so treat the dollar scale as an order of magnitude.

About

Time series of absolute dealer gamma or vanna mass in the front monthly OPEX cycle, with weeklies and 0DTE folded into the next third Friday. The chart compares the current session to past months at the same days-to-OPEX phase.

Instructions

Read the front-cycle mass line against the same-phase median to see whether dealer hedging pressure is elevated or subdued for this point in the cycle. Compare the mass level to the underlying price line to judge if hedging flow aligns with or opposes the move. A mass reading far above median near expiry often means dealers are short gamma and must hedge aggressively.

Badge states

  • ABOVE AVG (red) — front mass is at least 15% above the same-phase median.
  • TYPICAL (green) — within ±15% of the median.
  • BELOW AVG (blue) — front mass is at least 15% below that median.

SPX Pattern Radar

SPX PATTERN RADAR — REGIME
SPX PATTERN RADAR — GEX (BETA)

SPX Pattern Radar

One card, three tracks. Price+Yields and Regime run a causal matrix-profile scan over a 63-session window across up to ~5 years of history and report median forward returns at 5 / 21 / 63 sessions. GEX uses the longest window that fits available rollup history (21 / 42 / 63) and upgrades as that history grows. Matches prefer the same days-to-monthly-OPEX phase.

Tabs

  • Price+Yields — log-return shape plus 10-year yield level, day-over-day yield change, and 2s10s spread.
  • Regime — returns, realized vol, VIX, and days-to-OPEX.
  • GEX — returns, vol, net dealer GEX, day-over-day GEX change, and OPEX phase (beta: shorter GEX history, adaptive window).

How to read

  • Shaded box — current query window for that track.
  • White dots — historical analogs (when they fall in the displayed window).
  • Gold line (Price+Yields) — 10-year Treasury yield on the right axis.
  • Footer — best match date, median forward returns, win rate.

About

Text summary of key option-derived levels for the current session and week: call walls, put walls, gamma flip, max pain, unfilled overnight gaps, and high open-interest strike zones. Two tabs switch between a 0-1 day window (Intraday) and a <=15 day window (Weekly).

Instructions

Read the call and put walls together to bracket the expected range for the chosen window. Compare the gamma flip to the current price: price above the flip suggests dealer hedging dampens moves; price below suggests hedging amplifies them. Check max pain as a magnet only when time to expiration is short and open interest is concentrated. Use open gaps as reference levels that have not yet been revisited. Compare the high OI zones against the walls to see whether the largest clusters reinforce or diverge from the spaced levels.

About

A dashboard of regime badges from macro, credit, equity, and volatility charts, showing the current classification for each market slice. Each tile links to its full chart for detail.

Instructions

Read the Fed Watch badge against the macro and volatility tiles to see if policy expectations align with growth and risk regimes. Check whether macro tiles agree with each other and with the vol tiles; divergence often precedes a regime shift. Hover any vol tile for the raw level and z-score to gauge how extreme the signal is.

Guide

Each release shows separate rows for the headline level, month-over-month change, and year-over-year change when available. Previous is the last print; Actual fills in after the release. GDPNow and Fed projection rows use level only. Statement and press conference rows show a status when released or live.

Upcoming — before the scheduled time (countdown shown). Soon — release window (~15 minutes after the print time while waiting for data). Late — past the window with no actual yet. Released — actual is in.

Payrolls-style series show M/M as a thousands change (K). Policy rate decisions show M/M as basis points (bps). Click the event name to jump to the related chart on Credit.
