New Features Released
I didn’t want to wait for all the features to be ready to roll them out instead opting to release them slowly to let us test things and get feedback from you all. I’m a big believer in releasing something and getting feedback from everyone vs trying to perfect it on your own first. We will gradually rollout all the other tools and features over the next few weeks but I didn’t want to overwhelm you so let’s start with these. Throughout today we will be working on getting many of the things I post below rolled out, most are available now, but there are a few that we are fine tuning still.
Thesis - So we are using claude across everything in here, this is just to give you a quick thesis on 90% of the names in the database, some of the names it just isn’t capable of generating a thesis for and we’re looking for workarounds on the obscure tickers. At the bottom you will notice “sources fed to the model” if there are any more sources you want thrown in, it can be done. You will also notice at the bottom flow alignment which is where it lines up thought with the trades I have logged in the database. Also, there are potential risk factors highlighted. Below we have Amazon and you can the highlights of the thesis it generated. So it will generate a thesis everytime I log a trade in the database, so if I haven’t logged a trade in a week, the thesis may have very well changed, keep that in mind.
AI Generated Trade Ideas - We are having 3 different trade types: A risk reversal, an income trade, and a longer term trade. Some of you are looking to just sell puts or put spreads, it is going to give you an idea for both. Some of you want multimonth trades, you have ideas that will be generated. Whatever it is, it is all still around my philosophy of every trade being for a credit or a small debit. I get it lots of people are doing this now, but this is different because it it built around my style and my data. You will notice a disclaimer at the top on this, with this stuff I trust Claude, but there will be times where it hallucinates so please always use these trade ideas as a basis to think about things and build your trade ideas around it. Do not just run out and trade off of it without looking at a chart first. You will see a max gain gain and max loss now there for you as well. Bottom line this lets me apply my parameters across the entire database. This is important because I believe every name is tradable, it really is just a matter of where and based on what options data and moving averages are telling me. So applying that reasoning across more tickers is what will give you more insight across more names and make this different.
Example 1 - I log a $300 call on AMZN, it may build you a 260/290 call spread like below so you can be more conservative than the big block. You can read the descriptions below and on the first one
“Anchored to the 2,500-contract $260P puts sold on 2026-07-17 for $2.525M premium — institutions set a hard floor at $260. The short $260P sits right at the daily 1Y Fib 0.236 level ($259.08), reinforcing it as technical support; the long $290C targets the next breakout level above the 0.0 Fib high ($278.56). Low VIX at 16.7 still generates enough put premium at $260 to net a credit of ~$1,000 while keeping the short put below the current price ($266.32) and below the puts sold strike per conservative-strike philosophy.”
or when you look at the income trades below it is going to build you trades based off key moving averages blended in with the options data in the database. Looking below it looks like I need to tweak how it phrases things because the puts were sold for 07-17 not on 07-17 but again that’s why I’m pushing this out now so we can see the issues and fix them.
“The 50-day SMA sits at $241.92 and weekly trend is bullish with price well above all major MAs — the 50-day SMA context justifies a strike closer to current price rather than the deeper 200-day ($230.55). The $260P strike was explicitly sold by institutions on 2026-07-17 for $2.525M (2,500 contracts), establishing $260 as a hard institutional floor; we use the Jun-26 expiry (32 DTE) at the same $260 strike, which also aligns with the daily 1Y Fib 0.236 at $259.08. Low VIX at 16.7 (falling 6.3%) compresses premium slightly, but $572 credit on a $260 floor is still an attractive 2.2% yield for 32 days.”
Charts - you will notice new charts probably by tonight this part is still a work in progress. These charts include a couple key moving averages which are noted on the right and you will notice fibonacci levels built in just for quicker levels being available for you if you’re looking for entries/put sales.
Technicals - This also will likely be released tonight, just a quick view of levels so if you’re looking for a put sale or wanting to place a limit order you can see where some moving averages/fib levels are on any name.
Premium - you will now notice premiums on all the trades logged in the database. Again I personally find quantity over quality to be more important when looking for direction because you really want to know where repeat activity is, not really any single trade, but alot of you asked for this. It took so long to implement because these enterprise API’s you need to utilize for something like this cost an arm and a leg to get live data but with everything else we were doing with the AI generated trades we needed it or claude would be generating trade ideas off stale data.
As I said last week, nothing is changing regarding me writing the recaps everyday. I am still going to write them and highlight 5 names everyday, this is about leveraging ai to generate more trade ideas on more names to help you out if you’re on the fence about a name and I haven’t highlighted it. We are still having some issues with smaller names but we’re working on it, this is just backend stuff and the API and claude not meshing on smaller tickers. Otherwise we still have some cool scanners and other updates to roll out in the weeks ahead. Enjoy your day off and I will see you tomorrow
Great Moves, James !! Onwards and Upwards for Sure !! ;-) I use AI on every trade ...
Hey James, thanks for all the hard work updating the database. Really excited to try some of this stuff out. I’m not sure if you may already be working on this, but could you add the same filters on the Option Flow tab to the Rankings tab? I’d be interested to see how rankings change by selecting/deselecting “Puts bought”, “puts sold”, and “calls bought” and also changing “Expiry to" and "Expiry From" dates. For example I’d think the top names ranked with only sold puts & time to expiry > 30 DTE would likely be more institutional flow or flow with larger premiums etc. If it’s too much of a hassle then don’t worry about but either way thanks for all you do!
