How We Trade
Research First
No position goes on without a written thesis. On Jan 9, NFP came in at 50K vs. a 70K estimate. We had a bearish macro view going in. That context made the put setup obvious.
Unusual Whales
Tracks exact options flow by strike, expiry, and contract count. Before NFP on Jan 9, flow showed put positioning in SPX. That's a green light.
Heatseeker
Maps dealer gamma exposure at every strike. On Jan 9, Hedge Nodes sat well below price. The selloff moved straight into negative gamma territory — sharp, fast, exactly what the map showed. Sold at +306% before the reversal.
