What's new in OptionsDeck

Each ticker on a headline shows a ▲ bullish or ▼ bearish tag for that specific symbol, and every story shows how fresh it is ('2h ago') — so you can tell a tradeable catalyst from yesterday's news at a glance. Live on the dashboard and the News page.

A new in-depth guide in Learn: what the max pain strike actually measures, the narrow window before expiration where it matters, the pin risk it flags, and why the live dealer-gamma magnet is the sharper read the rest of the month.

The relative-strength column now marks whether a sector's lead is building (▲) or rolling over (▼) — comparing today's strength to its own 20-day pace — the acceleration tell a single number hides.

Your journal stats include expectancy per trade — the bottom-line number that says whether your edge is real. A 70% win rate with oversized losers can still be negative; this surfaces it in one figure with a plain-English read.

The dealer-magnet Gravity Map — the level price is being pulled toward — is now a quick-access card on your dashboard, right alongside single-ticker GEX.

The quiet-hours setting now previews the exact window in plain English ('Silenced 10 PM → 7 AM ET'), confirms when it wraps past midnight, and warns if you set the same start and end (which silences nothing).

When a tracked play reaches its target or stop, you now get a single 'TARGET HIT' notification instead of two for the same event.

The background AI scanner and high-conviction feed now track the exact NYSE session across daylight-saving changes, so they cover the full session — including the high-gamma final hour — every month of the year.

One click downloads your journal — current filter applied — as a clean spreadsheet for taxes, your own analysis, or a tax pro. Setup tags, entry/exit, fees, and realized P/L all included.

The AI Strategist chat and both sides of the bull/bear Debate now have a Copy button, so you can drop the analysis straight into your journal, a note, or a message — no more select-and-drag across paragraphs.

Emphasis and key terms in the Strategist's chat and debate replies now render as clean bold and code styling instead of literal markdown characters — easier to scan the part that matters.

The portfolio stress grid now rings the worst-case cell in red and the best in green, so the answer to 'where does this book hurt?' is immediate instead of a 35-cell scan.

Each implied-move card now reads 'Jun 19 · 12d out' instead of a raw date — the time horizon that drives a strangle's cost and decay is right there.

Typing a symbol into the News and Flow Scanner filters no longer fires a request on every keystroke or flickers an empty state mid-type — it waits for you to finish, then fetches once.

A dedicated brief page: index dealer-positioning and volatility-regime narratives, sector rotation, the day's top conviction setups, and the catalyst calendar — one assembled read, refreshed through the session. Reachable from the dashboard card and Cmd-K.

The Macro page now reads the live VIX curve (9-day through 6-month) and labels the state — Contango (calm), Inverted (near-term stress, often near a washout), or Mixed — with the plain-English meaning. The same read flows into your Daily Brief and digest email.

The strategy builder now shows live reward-to-risk on every structure, and labels genuinely unbounded profit or loss as 'Unlimited' instead of a misleading finite number (a long call's upside is unlimited).

Opt into a Sunday-evening recap that widens the catalyst window to the full week ahead — earnings and events with day labels, distinct from the daily pre-market brief.

Sort the high-conviction feed by Newest or Confidence, and every idea now shows its age at a glance ('12m ago'). The same relative-age read is on notifications, the dashboard carousel, and The Floor.

Confidence is now a fully deterministic function of the signals — the weighted driver breakdown on each idea sums exactly to the score (no hidden randomness), and each card shows its single most distinctive 'why'.

Catalysts show day labels (Today / Tomorrow / weekday), top setups are de-duplicated across tickers for breadth, and the headline reads correctly on weekends instead of 'scanner warming up'.

Probability-of-profit now computes across all Monte-Carlo paths at once — same numbers, noticeably snappier on multi-leg structures.

A perfect run with no losing trades now reads '∞' and an all-losing run reads '0.00', instead of both showing a blank dash.

Hardened how the analyzer interprets implied volatility so Greeks are always computed at the right vol regardless of how IV is supplied.

Tap View Details on any conviction card to see the full setup analysis — technical snapshot, signal summary, structural read, and pattern details. Same depth available as the AI Strategist page.

New Help icon in the top bar plus dedicated entry points on the Account and Pricing pages. Categories include billing, account help, bug reports, and general questions. Most replies go out within one business day.

Closed several gaps in how the model interprets dealer-flow data and unusual options activity. The strategist now references the historical hit rate of similar setups when scoring confidence.

Primary AI strategist runs on a newer version of the underlying model — same setups, stronger rule-following and structural sanity.

Bull / bear / status filters now match what the card actually displays, and your filter selection persists across page refreshes.

Track Record and Conviction headline win rates now compute from a unified source and reflect actual scanner performance. Numbers match what you can verify by sorting the feed by outcome.

Replies to support submissions go out in a branded template with ticket numbers, clean formatting, and a quoted original message — feels like a real support thread.

Mark-to-market now uses live market quotes instead of theoretical pricing — fixes the immediate phantom gain or loss on new positions.

The AI now refuses to ship setups where target and stop levels don't align with the trade's payoff direction.

Monthly and quarterly setups now get appropriate time to mature before being marked stale.

Press ? anywhere for the shortcut cheatsheet. Single-key shortcuts jump straight to dashboard, flow, ideas, portfolio, watchlists, journal, risk, settings, heatmap, and alerts. Suppressed while typing in any input.

Every dealer-positioning surface now closes the loop into a trade. See the regime, click once, get a defined-risk structure.

Star toggle drops any ticker into a watchlist inline. Auto-creates a default list if you have none.

Send any AI idea straight to the paper engine with its legs / target / stop intact.

Tape, whale monitor, multi-leg structure rows, portfolio, journal, alerts, flow concentration, the public wall and track record — every ticker now links to its ticker page.

The ticker combobox surfaces your last 5 tickers at the top of the dropdown. Command palette gained more destinations across dealer positioning, flow, webhooks, and strategies.

Combobox / Tabs / Radiogroup patterns on every mutually-exclusive picker. Screen-reader labels on icon-only buttons, label associations across every form, keyboard-operable sortable table headers, skip-to-content link, body-scroll lock on mobile drawer, and streaming AI responses announced to assistive tech.

Tightened up several places where trial benefits, feature availability, and ticker universe size were described inconsistently.

Roughly 25 surfaces now distinguish loading from a genuinely empty state. No more flashes of fake regime, fake price, or 0% before real data arrives.

Missing entry prices are skipped in P/L, paper mark-to-market, and scenarios instead of fabricating a $0 basis. Null confidence and null win-rate render as '—' rather than '0%'. Unset targets distinguished from a real $0.

Invalid dates render as '—' instead of leaking. Null dates no longer show 1/1/1970. Timestamps emit deterministic timezone.

Losses read '-$1,234.56', not '$-1,234.56', across every surface.

Bar charts, sparklines, tooltips, and percent calculations now gracefully handle partial or missing data instead of crashing or rendering NaN.

Checkout, billing portal, and password reset now toast on failure instead of doing nothing. In-flight buttons show a loading state instead of silently disabling.

Several mislabeled regime / status / direction indicators corrected across flow, risk, dealer positioning, and tracked plays.

Landing-page stats and public track-record breakdowns now serve from short-lived in-memory caches so anonymous traffic spikes don't rerun the same aggregation on every hit.

Magnet strike, pin ceiling, pin floor, and velocity-pocket detection surfaced as a three-card row with chart overlay halos. Plain-English narrative card pulls the interpretation directly into the header.

Vega-axis analogue of GEX: per-strike net VEX, vol walls, vol inflection. Surfaces vanna, charm, and vomma totals with chart overlays for vol walls and inflection level.

Overlay of GEX and VEX on the same strike axis. Strikes where both agree are flagged as the highest-conviction support/resistance levels; conflicts get a confidence tier label.

Side-by-side dealer positioning across the three majors with a verdict label (Triple Compression / Triple Expansion / Mixed). AI Strategist consumes the same signal and tilts confidence on alignment.

Each ticker mapped into one of seven patterns: Pin Compression, Wall Defense, Velocity Pocket, Negative Gamma Trend, Gamma Flip Reversal, Volatility Squeeze, Balanced Mid-Range. Each carries a thesis template the AI Strategist uses to steer structure choice.

Detects 10 multi-leg structure types from the rolling tape — debit/credit spreads, straddles, strangles, calendars, ladders. AI Strategist now sees the top detected structures and tilts confidence by direction match.

Signed Net Sentiment composite of bull-leaning vs bear-leaning prints with inline gauge bar. Put/Call Ratio, Aggressor Mix, Bull / Bear premium split bars.

Each tick now shows OTM%, NBBO Spread%, and Open Interest at print time. AI Strategist sees the same so it distinguishes lottery OTM bursts from conviction ITM positioning.

Multiple new rules added covering structure-label thesis steering, vol-positioning regime tilts, detected-structures confirmation/fade, and macro convergence alignment.

Plugged a class of bug where the AI could narrate a dealer-flow mechanic that contradicted the actual regime sign. A derived ground-truth block is now injected into every AI surface so the wording stays consistent with the underlying read.

Toggleable on-chart legend (top-left) shows every active line indicator with color and last value. Indicators now have a 1-5 importance rating; top-5 auto-enable on first run.

Strike recommendations are now anchored to real live bid/ask/mid/IV/delta. The chat no longer invents option prices when reasoning about specific contracts.

Min-gap debounce prevents button-mash from burning AI budget even when per-minute budgets are fine.
