Artificial Intelligence
Instant explanations, predictions, and anomaly detection
Artificial intelligence in Optionomics is not a single button—it is a set of assistive layers that meet you where you work. Some layers respond when you ask (sparkle explanations, chat). Others score or summarize continuously (anomaly emphasis, volatility views, live feeds). Everything is meant to speed up comprehension; nothing replaces your judgment, your sizing, or your compliance obligations.
Availability (summary):
- Gamma+: Some aggregate ML readouts (for example market-level predicted volatility) appear on Live Options Flow and Unusual Options Activity because those pages load stored model outputs for everyone who can open them.
- Theta+ ($79/mo) and Vega ($99/mo): AI Insights (✨), AI Assistant (chatbot), Trade Ideas, Market Commentary, and the Anomalies browser.
1. AI Insights (Click-Based)
Click the sparkle icon (✨) on a chart, table, or metric to request a short, contextual explanation of that exact view.
- No prompt required — one click, tuned to the panel you are on.
- Context-aware — the explanation refers to the symbol, timeframe, or dataset in front of you, not generic textbook text.
- Plain language — useful when you are learning a new screen or want a second wording of a dense idea.
Best for: Onboarding yourself to new analytics, sanity-checking a chart before you act, or teaching someone else over your shoulder.
Not for: “Tell me what to buy” — the tool describes data, it does not issue personalized orders.
2. Volatility forecasts and ML readouts
There is no separate sidebar page titled “Volatility Forecasts.” Instead, model-driven volatility and regime readouts appear in context where the app already aggregates market data:
- Gamma and above: Summary metrics (such as predicted volatility and regime) on Live Options Flow and Unusual Options Activity—those controllers load stored predictions for every subscriber who can view those pages.
- Terminal: Terminal subscribers get ML intelligence views in the terminal workflow (for example the ML panel fed by
/terminal/ml_intelligence). - Stock flow chart: The ML overlay on the Options Flow Chart (per-symbol page) is available when your plan includes that chart—toggle it from the chart toolbar.
Those readouts focus on where volatility or regime may head next, using patterns from history and current conditions. They are probabilistic—use them as one input next to the chain, skew, and your own rules—not as a standalone trading signal.
3. Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection watches the live stream of prints and highlights trades that do not look like “business as usual” for that symbol, expiry, or contract—whether because of size, premium, how the trade was worked (aggressive vs passive), where in the chain it lives, or how it clusters with other activity.
Scoring: When the product shows a score (for example 0–100), read it as “how unusual relative to our historical baselines”, not as “probability of profit.”
Where you see it: Scored unusual prints surface on Unusual Options Activity. On Theta and Vega, you can also open the dedicated Anomalies list to browse and filter by confidence and contract attributes—this URL is not shown in the main sidebar, but it is part of the product when you are signed in with access to AI features.
Best for: Traders who want the tape curated and prefer a filterable list of statistically rare prints.
4. AI Chatbot
Access: Sidebar → Artificial Intelligence → AI Assistant
The assistant is a conversational layer on top of the same world you see in charts and flow. Typical uses:
- Vocabulary and mechanics — Greeks, spreads, assignment risk, how expiries interact.
- “What does this screen mean?” — Walk through a panel you do not use every day.
- Scenario thinking — How practitioners often reason about vol into events, skew changes, or flow—but framed as education, not a mandate.
Features:
- Threaded history so you can pick up later.
- Follow-ups (“explain that last part with an example”).
- Context from your session when the product provides it, so answers stay grounded.
Limitations: The assistant does not know your account, your risk limits, or your mandate. It does not give personalized buy/sell instructions.
5. Trade ideas and market commentary
These are always-on feeds (when the market gives them something to say) rather than tools you invoke with a click:
- Trade Ideas — Per-stock theses: direction, strategy label, price levels, optional narrative and confidence. Designed so you can scan a list, filter by open vs closed, and drill in for chart context and discussion.
- Market Commentary — Market-wide notes: short posts when flow, sentiment, or volatility meaningfully move, tagged by category and severity so you can decide how loud a piece of news should be in your head.
Workflow tip: Use commentary for breadth (“what changed for the whole complex?”) and trade ideas for depth (“is there a concrete setup on this name?”).
Alerts and inbox: Both feeds participate in Custom Alerts and can show up in Notifications when you enable the right channels—so you can step away from the screen without stepping away from the story.
Neither feed is personalized investment advice; both are starting points next to your own process and risk rules.
Remember: AI helps you understand data faster and better. The decisions are still yours. Use AI as one tool in your analysis, not a replacement for your own research and judgment.
