Reading a Helios Signal
How to interpret the dashboard, from regime to trade ticket.
The dashboard is built around one question: what is dealer positioning telling us right now?
1. The regime banner
Top of the page. POSITIVE_GAMMA means dealers are long gamma — moves get suppressed and mean-revert. NEGATIVE_GAMMA means dealers are short gamma — moves get amplified. Trade direction follows regime.
2. The price chart
Standard candles plus the institutional levels: upper wall, lower wall, zero gamma, magnet. Watch how price interacts with these levels — they're where dealers must hedge.
3. The trade ticket
When a setup triggers, Helios issues a ticket: action (BUY CALLS / BUY PUTS), entry, stop, target, R:R, and a contract hint. Each ticket is paired with an AI commentary explaining why this setup, this contract, and the institutional structure supporting it.
4. The GEX ladder
Right side of the dashboard. Each strike shows call vs put gamma exposure (orange/purple bars) and call vs put open interest. The cumulative line traces where dealer pressure flips.
