Reading the settlements.
Two curves a desk reads before it looks at any single name: what the options market charges for protection over each horizon, and what the Treasury pays for each maturity. Daily settlements, drawn to scale with the session before. This page is free and needs no account.
What the options market is charging for time
Reading the volatility settlements.
What volatility costs in four other markets
Reading the settlements.
The same measure as above, taken from each market’s own options. A rise is coloured as a cost, because it is one: protection got dearer.
What the Treasury pays, from a month to thirty years
Reading the Treasury curve.
This page is free. The terminal reads each company the same way.
Inside: what the options market is charging for every upcoming report, how each stock is positioned, how its last twelve reports traded, a call for each, and the graded record of those calls.
