The day is a sequence of reads, each with a time stamp and a record. You never have to guess what the structure says right now.
The same market-structure machinery a gamma desk runs, dealer positioning, hedging pressure, liquidity, read live and explained in plain words. Nothing black-boxed.
The now box tells you the call of the day, the read for the next hour and where the structure sits. When the hour has no read, it says WAIT and names the lean. Nothing to interpret.
Free shows you every call after the close, graded, with the record. Day Trader is where the call lives: at 10:30, with its drift and strength, the hour read, the Day Map and Telegram alerts as the reads change.
Free is the proof: every call and its outcome after the close, graded in public. Day Trader is the product: the call live at 10:30 with its drift and strength, the hour read, the Day Map and the alerts. Pro adds the per-strike gamma, the ladders, the surface and the API.

One thing, precisely: at 10:30 ET Helios calls the session BULLISH or BEARISH and claims the close will land on that side of the 09:30 open. When the evidence is clear the call is marked strong; when there is not enough of it there is no call and the screen says so. On our own tape that call has been right 82% of 50 called sessions, 92% when strong. The hour read speaks only in one structure state, the one that has earned it on our tape, and the Day Map is structure, labelled as structure: levels, regime, distance, events. Directional accuracy is not options P&L; what you do with the direction is below.
A direction and a horizon. The day call is a filter for the rest of the session: which side of the market to work and which side to leave alone until the close. The hour read adds a sixty-minute lean when the structure lines up, and says WAIT with the reason when it does not. The Day Map gives the levels that frame an entry and a target: the zero-gamma line, the walls, the magnet, and the distance to each, live. Alerts arrive on Telegram as any of these change. A right call on a quiet day can still lose premium to time and spread, which is why the read comes with its drift and strength, so you can tell a thin call from a decisive one.
Helios supplies the call with its drift and strength, the hour read with its reason, the Day Map levels and every event on them, Telegram alerts as the reads update, and a public record graded on our own minute bars every evening. You choose the instrument, the strike, the expiry, the size, the entry, the exit and the risk. Helios never sends an order and never tells you what to buy; it tells you which way the session leans and shows you the score.
Two real sessions from the record, exactly as members saw them.
The direction for the next 60 minutes, spoken only when the structure is in the one state that has earned it on our tape, and silent otherwise. In that state the next hour has gone with the call 62% of the time and 70% at two hours. In every other state the box says WAIT and tells you why, so you never trade a coin. Which state speaks is not published.
The session's structure, live: the regime, the line, the magnet and the walls with the distance to each, what each regime has meant for the next hour on our tape, and every event as it prints: a line cross, a wall touch, the magnet reached, a reversal back through the open.
Every read is stamped when it is made and graded forward on our own price tape, never backfilled and never by the system that made it. The day call is graded against the close; the hour read against the price 60 and 120 minutes later. What fails is retired and the retirement is published. The ledger is public, and the research page keeps the protocol and the retired reads.
OPRA options chains with open interest for both symbols, SIP minute bars, dealer positioning models calibrated against open interest and observed hedging behavior, real-time price and volume, and order-book data for imbalance. Volatility surfaces are smoothed with a no-arbitrage model.
Each payload is filtered on the server before delivery. Free sees every call after the close, graded, with the record. Day Trader has the call live at 10:30 with its drift and strength, the hour read, the Day Map, the live structure and Telegram alerts. Pro adds the per-strike gamma, the positioning ladders, the volatility surface and API access. Your key encodes your tier.
