Helios quantifies the mechanical forces behind price behavior — dealer positioning, gamma regimes, hedging pressure, volatility flows, and liquidity stress — delivered as live signals, AI-explained trade plans, and tier-gated streams.
For volatility desks, systematic macro funds, prop firms, and professional options teams.
Helios is an institutional options intelligence system. Every signal is grounded in mechanical dealer behavior — positioning, gamma exposure, hedging pressure, liquidity dynamics — and explained, not black-boxed.
Tier 1 is free — start with regime + key levels. Tier 2 unlocks the full trade plan, AI commentary, and dealer flow. Tier 3 adds dealer positioning, Elliott overlay, and the full state stream.

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.
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.
Each signal payload is server-filtered before delivery. Tier 1 sees regime + key levels. Tier 2 unlocks the full trade plan, AI commentary, and dealer flow. Tier 3 adds dealer positioning (Net GEX, DEX/VEX/Charm), Elliott overlay, and the full unfiltered state. Your API key encodes your tier.

Helios Markets is the productized signal layer of the same options market structure intelligence engine used internally at KTR Capital. The mechanics, the regime classification, and the dealer-positioning models are all production-grade — already running live on the trading desk every market hour.
Helios Markets is not investment advice. It is a tools and data product designed to integrate into your own research and execution workflow.
