Signals & Analytics

Options are cheap vs history - long premium works best with a single clear direction. On trade ideas, follow the Recommendation line for one debit vertical only - do not trade both call-side and put-side long debits on the same idea. Long single-leg calls or puts only with high conviction - you need a larger move to profit. Avoid selling premium here - credit is small relative to the risk you take on. Put/call ratio is skewed in an unusual way. Distinguish between hedging (e.g. protective puts) and speculative flow. Align your position size and direction with your own thesis rather than following the crowd. Gamma positioning suggests dealers may amplify price moves. Reduce position size by 30-50%, widen your stops, and avoid short gamma positions. Prefer longer-dated options or smaller sizes. Expect volatility spikes - do not over-leverage. Unusual option flow is present. Wait for price action to confirm before entering. Size smaller than usual until your thesis is validated. Unusual flow can be informed or noise - let the chart confirm before committing.
