Hedge-Fund-Grade Options Intelligence

Know exactly what to trade — and when to close.

Helios turns how dealers hedge into one clear call for SPY & QQQ — BUY, HOLD, or CLOSE — with the exact contract, target, and exit, plus a Telegram alert the moment a confirmed setup fires. No options expertise required.

And the same market-structure engine underneath — dealer gamma, flow, regimes — is available raw to the desks and institutions that want it.

Free forever. No credit card.

UNDER THE HOOD

Built around how dealers actually hedge.

The same market-structure machinery hedge funds run — dealer positioning, gamma exposure, hedging pressure, liquidity dynamics — powering every call. Explained, not black-boxed.

Dealer Gamma & Structure

  • Net GEX, call/put gamma breakdown
  • Zero-Gamma (ZΓ) pivot
  • Gamma walls (positive/negative) + strength
  • GEX magnet / gravity level
  • Distance-to-wall / cliff proximity

Regimes & Scoring

  • NG squeeze / break / chase
  • PG fade / pin regimes
  • Vanna & charm dominated windows
  • Regime scoring (0–100) with confidence
  • Regime flip and failure alerts

Flow + Order Book Timing

  • Multi-timeframe flow alignment

  • Signal validation guards (anti-churn)

Volatility Mechanics

The signal, end to end

One clear call — and the alert that reaches you.

STAND ASIDE until there's a real setup — then the exact contract, target, and exit, with a Telegram alert the moment a confirmed setup fires and a warning before it flips. No options expertise required.

Why: Spot crossed Zero Gamma at $734.20 into positive-gamma territory with the magnet at $745.80 and lower wall holding at $735.00. In positive-gamma regimes, dealers buy dips and sell rips — mean-reversion to the magnet is the high-probability path. Stop below the lower wall, target the magnet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What desks usually ask.

If your question isn't here, email contact@helios.markets.

What data sources do you use?

OPRA-derived options chains, dealer positioning models calibrated against open interest and observed market-maker hedging behavior, and CBOE-spec real-time price/volume. Order book imbalance is computed from L2 quotes. Implied volatility surfaces are smoothed with a no-arbitrage model.

What's the latency from market event to signal?

End-to-end ~120ms median for the WebSocket stream, ~250ms for REST snapshots. Signal recompute cadence is ~3 seconds per symbol. Tier 3 customers can request lower-latency private streams.

How are signals tier-gated?

Each signal payload is server-filtered before delivery. Tier 1 sees the regime read AND key levels (Walls, Zero-Gamma, Magnet) on the chart, and receives the daily wrap email. Tier 2 adds the Clear Signal (BUY / HOLD / CLOSE with the exact contract), Telegram alerts the moment a setup confirms, AI reasoning, dealer-flow telemetry, the GEX Ladder, and the Block Trade Ticker. Tier 3 adds the IV surface, dealer positioning (Net GEX, DEX/VEX/Charm), Elliott overlay, acceleration zones, secondary plays, and premium Telegram alerts. Your API key encodes your tier.

Do you execute trades?

No. Helios is signals-only. We deliver objective, explainable analytics designed to integrate into your existing execution stack. There is no order routing, no managed capital, and no individualized investment advice.

What symbols do you cover?

SPY and QQQ — both live. Tier 3 customers can request additional liquid US equity options coverage on a per-desk basis.

Can I trial Tier 2 / Tier 3?

Tier 1 is free forever — start there. For Tier 2/3 evaluation, contact us; we offer 14-day institutional trials for verified desks.

How do I cancel?

Self-serve through your account portal. Subscriptions are billed monthly and cancel at the end of the current period.

Do you offer custom integrations?

Yes — for Tier 3 enterprise: private endpoints, custom rate limits, signed webhooks into your OMS, and white-glove integration support. Email us your stack and we'll scope it.
