About BlackOut Trades
The positioning picture the desks trade on — now on your screen.
BlackOut Trades is an options analytics platform built on one idea: the data that moves the market should be available to everyone, not just the desks.
We map dealer gamma exposure, institutional options flow, and dark pool activity into a single positioning picture — the same lens professional desks trade through. Then we grade every setup, log every outcome publicly, and explain the reasoning in plain language. No black boxes, no hidden ledgers.
We are not a broker. BlackOut does not execute trades, route orders, or manage money. Everything on the platform is analytics and education — you make your own decisions in your own account.
The Tools
Six modules, one desk — use them individually or together:
- SPX Slayer — The 0DTE command center. Live dealer gamma, A–F graded setups, and real-time positioning for same-day SPX options. Starts at $49/month. - Thermal — GEX, VEX, DEX, and CHARM heatmaps that show where dealer hedging will accelerate or dampen price movement. - HELIX — Institutional flow scanner. Surfaces unusual activity, block prints, and dark pool transactions so you see what the smart money is doing. - Night Hawk — Overnight playbook plus an intraday 0DTE scanner. Identifies setups before the bell and tracks them through the session. - Largo AI — An AI desk analyst that synthesizes positioning, flow, and structure into actionable context. - Vector — Cross-ticker gamma scanner that finds names where dealer positioning is setting up the next move.
All six ship with Premium ($199/month or $1,999/year). See all plans.
Our Approach
Data-driven, not opinion-driven. Every number on the desk comes from verifiable sources — Polygon, Unusual Whales, and our own models built on top of them. When the data says sit, we sit.
Transparent track records. Every setup BlackOut flags is logged publicly, graded, and time-stamped — including the losers. No hindsight edits, no deleted trades, no cherry-picked screenshots. The record speaks for itself.
Education-first. Options are complex. We publish a full Learning Academy — from getting started to a deep dealer gamma and options flow guide — because an informed trader makes better decisions than a subscriber who just follows alerts.
Not Financial Advice
BlackOut Trades provides educational tools and market analysis only. Nothing on the platform constitutes investment advice, a recommendation to trade, or an offer to buy or sell securities. Options and equities trading involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for every investor. Past performance of any setup, grade, or signal does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research and consult a licensed financial professional before trading.
