SmartTrace
See the structure. Then decide.
Candles record price, but they do not explain why it moved. SmartTrace connects to US options market source data and presents structure in institutional terms, so you read the market from that vantage.
Why structure matters
See the levels first. Then judge.
Candles record the move. They do not mark hedging pressure.
Rallies, ranges, and reversals often land near prices where dealers rehedge. Candle patterns do not mark these levels.
Nodes and walls — key levels in clear view
Intraday pos / neg nodes and OI call / put walls, marked on the chart. Darker color and taller bars mean denser hedging pressure.
One ticker, several reads
Dealer board for levels, Market Tide for session temperature; flow, dark pool, and smart money to assist judgment.
Dealer Board
Key levels, marked early
Nodes, walls, magnet, and max pain
Dealer exposure
Today: positive / negative nodes, magnet, max pain. OI: Call / Put walls and Gamma Flip.
- Key levels by Intraday / OI mode
- Side ladder or heatmap overlay
Market Tide
Before you pick a ticker
read the session's risk appetite
Put/call, net premium, and sector options flow show the day's risk appetite. Single-name structure sits on that layer.
- Market-wide put/call
- Net premium direction and intraday path
- Sector ETF capital direction
Options Flow · Dark Pool
Where large prints land
Buy/sell direction marked on each print
Unusual options and dark-pool blocks together, with buy/sell direction and notional. Open versus close cannot be inferred from the tape; use it as a structure cross-check.
- Buy / sell direction labels
- Sweeps and large prints
- Dark pool buy / sell / neutral
- Multi-ticker flow in parallel
Smart Money
Insiders and Congress: buying or selling
Cross-check with public filings
Insider filings and congressional trades in one place, to assist judgment.
- Insider filings
- Congressional trades with ticker and size
- Search and filter by ticker
Price and structure
Same candle. The difference is structure.
After the fact
Price only
Often buying after the rally, selling after the drop.
- A rally with no key level ahead
- A drop with no way to tell pullback from breakdown
- Candle patterns give direction, not a marked level
