Options-derived regime signals for swing traders

The market shows its hand.
We make sure you see it.

Every night, our AI reads the entire S&P 500 options chain, finds the price level where dealer hedging flips direction, and locks that level as The Tracer Line for the next session. One number tells you whether the regime is constructive or defensive — before the open.

No credit card surprises. Cancel anytime in the trial — zero charge.

The problem

You're trading against people who can see your hand.

Every time you buy or sell, you're transacting with a dealer who hedges in the options market. Their hedging flow is documented publicly — the SEC requires it. Funds with eight-figure budgets read it in real time. Retail traders never see it. They trade blind against people who are reading their cards.

How it works

Options data in. Edge out.

Same math the funds run. Built for retail. Educational, not advisory.

01

Ingest the options chain

Every night at the close, we pull the full S&P 500 options chain from Polygon — every strike, every expiry, every contract's open interest and implied volatility.

02

Run the gamma math

We run Black-Scholes gamma exposure at every strike, then find the daily flip point — the price where dealer hedging flips from buying-rallies to selling-rallies (and vice versa). That flip point is The Tracer Line.

03

Lock + deliver

The line is locked once at the close and held stable for the next trading session. You see it before the open. Same number every reader sees — no real-time noise, no recompute roulette.

04

Pair with AI

Our scanner ranks setups using multi-timeframe alignment, sector strength, and a 13-point confluence score. Each qualifying setup ships with a plain-English AI report explaining why it scored and where the risk lives.

What you get

Levels, scanners, breadth, and prose.

Everything a swing trader needs to read regime, find setups, and learn the framework.

The Tracer Line

Marquee signal

A single regime pivot, locked nightly. Above it: trends extend. Below it: snapbacks dominate. The number you check before placing any trade.

The Founder's Setup

One-click view

The exact chart Blake reads every morning. 65-minute candles aligned to the open, 5-day moving average, YTD Anchored VWAP, and the Awesome Oscillator. No setup required.

Daily Resilience

Intraday breadth

How many SP500 / NDX names are holding above the midpoint of today's open gap. A net % that tells you whether today's strength is broad or concentrated in a few mega caps.

Tracer Resilience

Regime breadth

How many SP500 / NDX names are trading above their own individual Tracer Lines. Tells you whether the bullish (or bearish) regime is widely confirmed across stocks, or just at the index level.

AI Setup Reports

Plain English

Every qualifying setup ships with a paragraph-length AI report — why it scored, where the risk is, what would invalidate the read. Written, not generated bullet points.

Interactive Charts

Your tools, our edge

Pull any ticker. Tracer Line drawn live. MACD, Alligator, Awesome Oscillator, custom moving averages. 65-minute interval aligned to market open — no broken candles.

The edge

Why this works when most "edge" doesn't.

Options data is forward-looking by definition

A moving average tells you what already happened. An options chain shows where dealers have committed real capital — and where they'll be forced to hedge tomorrow. The Tracer Line uses the second.

Dealers can't lie about their gamma exposure

Open interest is the SEC-required public record. You can derive dealer positioning from it without paying a Bloomberg terminal. The math is settled science; the access used to be the moat. We removed it.

Education > signals

Most trading services flame out because their subscribers never learn why a signal works. We pair every Tracer Line print with explainer content. The day the service shuts down, you still understand the framework.

One number, used many ways

The Tracer Line is a regime filter on swing entries, a stop reference on existing positions, a hedge ratio reference on portfolios, and a market-wide pulse all at once. Most subscribers find their own use case within the first week.

Questions

FAQ

How is The Tracer Line different from a moving average?+

Moving averages average past prices, so they lag the move. The Tracer Line is derived from where dealers have already committed capital in the options market — it leads price because dealer hedging happens before the underlying moves. Different math, different lookahead.

Is this financial advice?+

No. Trade Tracer is educational analysis software. We surface levels and ranked setups; you make the trading decisions. Nothing on the platform constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

How accurate is the Tracer Line vs other GEX services?+

Our values track within $2.50 of published values from established services like Rocket Scooter on most names. We use the same Black-Scholes gamma math; differences come down to dealer-positioning model assumptions, which we publish openly.

What happens after the 30-day free trial?+

You're billed $49/mo (founder pricing locked for life) or $79/mo (standard Pro) depending on which tier you signed up for. Cancel anytime during the trial — no charge if you do. We email you 3 days before the trial ends.

Is this for day trading?+

No. The Tracer Line is locked once per night and held stable through the next session. It's built for swing traders holding 2-10 days, not scalpers. Intraday traders will find it useful as a regime filter but it's not designed for tick-by-tick decisions.

Where does the data come from?+

Real-time S&P 500 stock prices and full US options chains from Polygon.io. The SEC-required disclosure data underlying all options open interest is the same data hedge funds use. We don't resell data, we compute on top of it.

Why the first-100 founder pricing?+

We want the founding subscribers invested in the product's success. Locked $49/mo for life is a real commitment from us and a real anchor for you. After 100 the entry price moves to $79/mo and the founder slot closes.
