A daily intelligence system for SPX options traders who want a clear answer before the open.
What It Is
The Gamma Brief delivers a single daily signal — GO, CAUTION, or WAIT — designed for SPX options traders running credit spreads, iron butterflies, and other premium-selling strategies. It's built for pre-market preparation and end-of-day review, not real-time alerts.
The Experiment
The Gamma Brief is an ongoing experiment in AI-driven market intelligence. The goal: leverage a layered generative AI pipeline to reliably capture live market data, economic events, and structural mechanics — then distill it all into accurate, actionable briefings delivered before the open, after the close, and ahead of each week.

Why It's Built This Way
All analysis is pre-generated before market open — no live API calls when you load the page. Fast loads, consistent data, no surprises mid-session. Premium-selling strategies reward preparation over speed, and that philosophy drives every design decision.
It's a system that's still evolving, and early adopters have been essential to shaping it. If you have ideas on how to make it better, we want to hear them — send us your feedback.
