The Core Thesis
17
peer-reviewed studies confirm:
options markets are informationally superior to futures markets.

Informed traders — institutions, hedge funds, insiders — prefer options because of leverage, anonymity, and cost efficiency. Their footprint shows up in QQQ and NDX order flow before NQ moves.

SSRN-4765294 · Price Discovery
Price discovery begins in options markets 5–15 minutes before futures. AVWAP crossovers are timed to capture the eventual futures response.
SSRN-2981332 · Delta Order Flow
A one-standard-deviation increase in delta order flow predicts a $0.98 NQ move per point. INDEX options (NDX/QQQ) outperform individual equities as signals.
SSRN-4689559 · 0DTE Options
Same-day expiry (0DTE) options act as ultra-short leading indicators — concentrated institutional bets on intraday moves. GEX from 0DTE flow is tracked separately on the dashboard.
SSRN-3542967 · Put-Call Imbalance
The NDX put/call imbalance (ΔOIV), expressed as a 60-bar rolling z-score (ndx_pcz), significantly predicts next-bar direction in futures markets.
SSRN-4682388 · Institutional Flow
Block trades ≥ 50 contracts reliably identify institutional (informed) order flow. Retail flow is noise; block flow is signal.
System Design

Two strategies.
One for each side.

VWAP Trend-Touch captures long-side breakouts. Flow V3 shorts when NDX put/call z-score spikes. Together they provide coverage in both directions.

In-sample fit.
Out-of-sample proof.

Strategy parameters were optimised on 387 in-sample days (Jun 2023 – Dec 2024), then validated on 310+ unseen out-of-sample days without touching the parameters.

Under the Hood

Built for speed
and precision.

Every layer of the stack was chosen for performance. The live engine processes proprietary tick data in under 50ms from tick to order.

Rust Live Engine

Binary compiled with opt-level=3, LTO, and single codegen unit. Tails proprietary tick data every 50ms, aggregates 1-min bars, runs both strategies and writes live_state.json at 5fps.

Rust · rayon · serde
DTC Order Routing

Orders sent via a binary DTC protocol over TCP. Connects to Rithmic for real-time NQ data and order routing. Auto-reconnects on disconnect with exponential backoff.

DTC Binary · Rithmic
Python Research Layer

5,799 lines of Python for signal research, feature engineering, and walk-forward validation. Grid search over 3,000+ parameter combinations with parallel iteration across 697 days of tick data.

Infrastructure

Dedicated VPS running nginx as a static file server — live state is a file alias updated at 5fps. Cloudflare handles TLS termination. Dashboard polls every 2 seconds with zero backend compute.

Dashboard

Options + Orderflow.

Every indicator is computed from raw proprietary tick data — no vendor delay, no interpolation. What you see is what the market is doing right now.

Real-Volume Profile

Volume profile computed directly from raw tick data — not TPO approximations. PoC in pink, 70% Value Area highlighted, VAH/VAL in blue. Redraws on every pan and zoom.

Big Trade Radar

Set your own contract threshold. Every qualifying print appears as a circle — sized by volume, green for buys at ask, red for sells at bid. Glow rings scale with size so the largest prints are impossible to miss.

Configurable threshold · Live
GEX Regime Scale

Net gamma exposure mapped across six volatility regimes — from strongly positive (market makers dampen moves) to strongly negative (amplification, squeezes). A live marker shows exactly where the market sits right now.

6 zones · Net GEX in $B
Anchored VWAP

Session VWAP anchored at the daily open and recomputed on every new bar using actual bid/ask volume. Slope direction determines trend bias. Bull and bear absorption levels shown as count badges.

Options Flow Levels

Call Wall, Put Wall, and Gamma Flip plotted directly on the price chart as dashed levels. Updated with live GEX data — these are the price levels market makers are actively defending right now.

50ms Tick Feed

The engine tails a proprietary binary tick feed every 50ms and writes live_state.json at 5fps. The browser fetches tick data directly via Range requests for incremental big-trade updates every 30 seconds.
