What hurts your portfolio?

The pain: you read the chart alone. Price does not show where market makers hedge, or where liquidity comes from.

The options trader's pain: your direction is right and the contract still loses, because you paid more premium than the move. Now: SPY at $763.96, below the Gamma Flip at $773.56.

The stock trader's pain: why does the breakout fail in your stock while the index rises? Distance from the 50-day average: SPY −0.5% and the equal-weight RSP +1.3%. 68% of companies are in a buyback blackout.

The investor's pain: you buy a good company in a week when the US Treasury drains liquidity from the market. Fed net liquidity now: $5.87T.

Don't trade against institutional liquidity. Before you open a trade, see on one page whether the market is calm or volatile today, and at which prices big options positions cluster, in numbers.

Right direction, losing contract? Know before you buy whether the premium is expensive, and where the Call Wall, the Put Wall and the Gamma Flip sit.
Do not let index highs fool you when leadership is narrow. Tie your stock pick to sector rotation, market breadth and the nearest options wall before you enter.
Invest with the liquidity, not against it. Follow Fed net liquidity, US Treasury auctions, credit stress and institutional 13F positions on one platform.

Five layers of US market data on one screen, with gamma levels for the major tickers updated every 5 minutes during the session.

The volatility risk premium compares what you pay for the contract with how much the stock actually moves, and gamma levels update every five minutes during the session.

When SPY rises and the equal-weight RSP lags, a handful of stocks lead the market and breakouts fail in the rest. Finviro shows market breadth, sector rotation and a card for every symbol in one place.

Markets move on liquidity and credit before earnings. Finviro combines the Treasury General Account, reverse repo and SEC filings in one reading before the open.

The problem and what you get in Finviro

  • You enter while liquidity is leaving the market.

    In Finviro: The financial conditions index combines Fed net liquidity, funding stress and risk appetite in one reading before the open.

  • Price stops at a level you cannot see on the chart.

    In Finviro: Gamma levels for each symbol: the Call Wall, the Put Wall and the Gamma Flip, updated every five minutes during the session.

  • You jump between five websites and cannot connect them.

    In Finviro: The session ticket combines the five layers in one clarity score out of 100, with what raises and lowers it.

  • You buy a contract with a high premium and falling volatility eats it.

    In Finviro: The volatility risk premium compares implied and realized volatility for each symbol: is the contract expensive or cheap right now?

  • You put your target behind a wall price struggles to pass.

    In Finviro: The scenario lab builds the target and the stop from option walls and the Gamma Flip before you open the contract.

  • You do not know where big money is betting today.

    In Finviro: Contract flow tracks large unusual contracts in real time, and net premium shows whether the direction is turning.

  • You buy a stock in a sector money is leaving.

    In Finviro: Sector rotation measures relative strength and its momentum for every sector: who leads and who lags.

  • Earnings surprise you and price jumps past your stop.

    In Finviro: The earnings calendar shows upcoming reports for the symbols you follow before their contracts are repriced.

  • You do not know where the ceiling and floor of your stock are.

    In Finviro: The symbol card puts option walls, the volatility premium and flow on one page.

  • You build a position in a week when liquidity is being drained.

    In Finviro: Treasury auctions and the Treasury General Account: how much liquidity they drain this week.

  • You buy a company whose earnings do not cover the interest on its debt.

    In Finviro: Credit stress flags these companies, and stock comparisons measure five families of ratios from official filings.

  • You do not know what large institutions are buying.

    In Finviro: Institutional positions from SEC 13F filings.

Before the FAQ, here are the three answers

The market does not reward signal-followers. It rewards whoever reads the context first.

Macro and liquidity Mixed $5.87T Net Liquidity

When liquidity pulls back, good stocks fall with bad ones, so you lose even when you picked the right company. The 4-week trend is up.

Trade calls you can't check, or data you read yourself?

Today, many traders decide either from late translations of platforms that don't speak their language, or from trade calls they can't check. The table compares the three approaches on what affects your decision: Who measures? In what language? And who shows their mistakes in public?

Why don't we sell you everything?

Every indicator we add is tested before you see it. What fails the test is not shown, however convincing it looks, because an indicator that looks useful but is noise costs you a trade, not a subscription.

You pay us to filter out the noise for you, not to sell it to you.

A pattern we chose to leave out
REJECTED

Does gamma state predict the size of tomorrow's move?

Sample
404 pairs · 34 tickers · 12 days
Moves below the flip
1.99%
Moves above it
2.26%
Statistical significance
t = −0.78

The common claim is that moves get smaller above the Gamma Flip . The test showed the opposite, with no statistical significance at all. So we built no feature on it, and we show the Gamma Flip as a level you can check, not a prophecy.

No. The platform shows data calculated and explained: where dealer hedging limits the index's move · the Call Wall, the Put Wall and the Gamma Flip · plus liquidity and options flow. The decision is yours. And a gamma wall is a verifiable fact whether the trade wins or loses.

The platform is built for serious traders. If you understand options basics and how indexes move, you go straight to the tools; if you start from zero, you'll find a full Academy and a glossary of explained terms before you pay anything.

Gamma and options flow on the dashboard update throughout the session. The morning read at the top of this page comes from the same engine, and all times are shown in UTC.

No. The platform runs in the browser on any device. It doesn't connect to your broker account or execute trades · you read the data and analysis here and act on your decision wherever you like.

Yes. Signing up is free with just your email, and includes a full trial of every tool for 5 trading sessions with no payment details, starting when you confirm your email · after that the free tools stay open and the advanced ones sit behind the subscription, so you see what you pay for before you pay.

Options and Greeks calculator, position size and breakeven calculator, a scenario lab with options walls and the Gamma Flip, market hours in your time zone, the Academy, the glossary and the latest published report. All on the “Free tools” page.

Payment is in crypto, and your membership activates on its own once the payment is confirmed on the network. Membership is monthly or annual with no binding contract · Renewal is up to you: stop it from your account before the due date and access stays until the end of the paid period. Need another payment method? Message us from the “Contact us” page.

The Call Wall and the Put Wall are the two strikes where dealer gamma exposure is concentrated · near them, moves tend to slow or bounce, and the Gamma Flip separates a calm regime from a volatile one. The Academy explains them for free.
