@SimObjReality @JasonL_Capital 👍👍👍👍👍

100%☝️- Real-time market data is not cheap for the serious and informed investor/trader and then stack on top Options or even L2 data, things get expensive really quick. (that is true barrier to entry). - Until these click-bait people actually build the custom thing and try to connect the data feed and curate the data into something useful and store the data in an optimal database schema and cache the data for speed and build the backend to frontend APIs ... etc, they have no idea how difficult and costly it can be. Even if they do manage that, it still doesn't mean their "built in 5 mins dashboard" using AI will actually inform meaningful trades to generate positive expected returns.

There are investors that pay $3,000+/month for dashboards that Perplexity Computer builds in 5 minutes for free Here are 5 dashboards with full prompts included so you can build each one right now:

@TradeVolatility So tell us what THAT means.

Implied vol, skew and PCR OI remain in ~97th percentiles.

$SPX gamma exposure has now been negative for most days since Jan 30.

@fredysarpic @quantscience_ 👍👍👍👍

@RobertPBalan1 @quantscience_ There is no free lunch in the market !

A Bloomberg Terminal costs $30,000 a year. Someone just built one for free. In minutes. With no local setup.

@TradableAstro Show us the market positioning which support your hypothesis.

$SPY is sitting on major support, VIX just got rejected at $30 again, and someone dropped $21M in $QQQ calls. I've seen this exact setup before. It was right before a 10% rip. 🧵

@blondebroker1 Equity futures are soaring! You don't trade futures?

Whatever that was!!! Please open the market!!!! 🙏

@TailThatWagsDog 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Correction. Thanks @RobertPBalan1 Claude, you bad boy. You can't divide by zero. WTF ... you put in some bogus number got a wild VEX-GEX Ratio that disagreed with content ... and you just went with it. Stephen, you slack dog. Watch that bot ... check those calculations before you waste everyone's time. Corrected implementation - Interactive Link: tiny-cupcake-79ac1b.netlify.app

@Venturinglist @TailThatWagsDog 👍👍👍👍Thank you!

@RobertPBalan1 @TailThatWagsDog I love breakdowns like this. Great team work. Unfortunately, there is much more that wags the dog. Long Debt players hedging via equity shorts, convertible arbitrage, credit default swaps, total return swaps, on and on. These breakdowns are super useful around Quad Witching, tho!

Tue Mar 24 | 7:30 AM Central Update: Comprehensive Analysis - AI-enabled: Yesterday's front month SPX options positioning Summary: The two-week selloff has drained the amplification from the system. All three months (Apr, May, Jun) are near-neutral. The crash risk machinery is disarmed. Directional Index and naive models agree for the first time. Net Put Delta (NPD) is balanced. Spot sits deep in the dampening zone, nearly 400 points above the zero-gamma floor. Bottom Line: The options market has essentially stopped having an opinion about direction. Whatever moves the market next will be driven solely by macroeconomics and asset fundamentals, not dealer positioning mechanics. Full Interactive Link: admirable-douhua-823597.netlify.app

@TailThatWagsDog All the best Doc!

Oh, no apology necessary Robert. In fact, I love having all these sharp eyes catching my mistakes. And, among those sharp eyes ... your's are razor sharp. That dang vanna calculation has been a bugger for me. Bugger as in code bug. I'll look into it. Suss out the error. Hey! Thanks for reading ... thanks for the gentility in the intro (need more of that in the world) ... and thanks for the astute pickup. Hope all is well in your world.

@MenthorQpro Wide range between 6500–7100 = room to move no risk of getting anything wrong!

6/ Big picture: • Below 6800 = more reactive / faster moves • Above 6800 = more stability • Wide range between 6500–7100 = room to move

5/ On the downside, support sits closer to ~6500. If price drifts into that zone, it’s where flows could start to slow things down a bit.

@heynavtoor BS

🚨 Hedge fund managers are going to hate this. Someone just open sourced a system that does their entire job. 30.5% annualized returns. $0 in fees. It's called TradingAgents. Not one AI agent. An entire simulated trading firm. Analysts, researchers, traders, and risk managers. All AI. All arguing with each other before making a single trade. No Bloomberg Terminal. No $50K data feeds. No MBA required. Here's what's inside this thing: → 4 AI analysts scanning financials, news, social sentiment, and technicals → A Bull and Bear researcher that literally debate each other → A trader that synthesizes every argument into a final call → A risk management team that can veto any trade → A fund manager that approves or rejects execution Here's the wildest part: It beat every traditional trading strategy they benchmarked. Cumulative returns. Sharpe ratio. Max drawdown. All of them. Hedge funds charge 2% management + 20% performance fees for this exact workflow. This is free. 100% Open Source.

@aristizabal76 Thank you Mr. A!!

@RobertPBalan1 This is great

@flowtopia_co PUTS ARE LEADING IN SPX.
