THE PROBLEM · COMMODITIZED INPUTS ERASE EDGE
Same data creates
crowded, fragile strategies.
When every model sees the same feed, the same trades get crowded and the advantage decays. Proprietary options-derived data gives your system differentiated evidence.

Three timestamps keep history honest.
Keep market events, data availability and strategy decisions separate. Each dataset’s documentation states whether its history was known on the day or reconstructed afterwards.
EVENT TIME
When the market or company action happened.
AVAILABLE AT
When the data was received, parsed and ready to use.
DECISION TIME
The instant your strategy is allowed to use it.
available_at ≤ decision_time
Point-in-time inputs and reconstructed history are labelled separately. Do not treat backfilled data as if it was available earlier.

QUESTIONS BUILDERS ASK FIRST
Know the contract before you depend on it.
Is the API only for options trading?
No. Options activity is the source of differentiated intelligence. Use the context in research across stocks, ETFs, futures, commodities and options.
What do the four signals mean?
Direction is a buy, short or neutral signal. Historical ranking is the raw-value percentile in the same stock’s last 14 years. Peer ranking compares today’s raw value with Russell 2000 stocks. Momentum tracks raw-value changes on an RSI-like 0–100 scale. Historical performance is separate: win rates, returns and sample sizes.
Is the history point-in-time?
Not uniformly, and we label it. The docs say, dataset by dataset, whether the history is as it was known on the day or reconstructed afterwards.
Can I read the docs without an account?
Yes. The account-layout documentation is also available to guests. API calls require a key, and options indicators require Data API Pro.
Does historical evidence guarantee an outcome?
No. It describes prior samples and helps inspect uncertainty; it does not predict or guarantee future performance.
