The right endpoints for how you actually trade

Each guide maps your strategy to the exact FlashAlpha endpoints, the plan it needs, and the analytics behind it. No guesswork.

Quant & systematic desks
Historical options backtesting API for quant teams

Replay computed exposure (GEX/DEX/VEX/CHEX), VRP and full option chains for any minute since 2018, the same response shape as the live endpoints, so research and production share one codepath.

See the guide
GEX & dealer-positioning traders
Live gamma exposure (GEX) API, settled vs flow

Settled GEX shows yesterday's book. Flow-GEX recomputes exposure against effective OI (settled OI plus our intraday OI simulator), so you read dealer positioning as today's flow moves it.

See the guide
Directional & momentum traders
Time directional options entries with dealer gamma + vol

Flow-GEX shows whether dealers leave the path open or fade it; implied-vol context shows when the setup and the volatility actually line up, so you enter with the wind behind you.

See the guide
0DTE index scalpers
0DTE analytics API, pin risk, gamma regime, live flow

Live pin-risk scoring (0–100 with sub-scores), 0DTE gamma regime with distance-to-flip, and the live flow tape so you read the same-day index print by print.

See the guide
Premium sellers & call writers
Sell options premium only when IV is actually rich

VRP z-scores and percentiles tell you when implied vol is statistically rich versus realized; IV rank and term structure time the entry; max pain frames the strikes.

See the guide
Spread & condor traders
Score iron condors, credit spreads & calendars by edge

Directional VRP decomposes premium into put and call sides, skew shows where the richness is, and key levels frame the wings, so you pick the structure with the real edge.

See the guide
Volatility & relative-value desks
Arbitrage-free SVI surfaces, VRP & term structure API

Arbitrage-free SVI surfaces, variance versus volatility risk premium, per-strike term structure and arbitrage detection, computed and served, so you trade the dislocations instead of building the plumbing.

See the guide
Dealer-positioning swing traders
Trade single names off dealer GEX, levels & AI narrative

GEX/DEX/VEX with gamma flip and call/put walls, plus an AI narrative that turns the positioning into a plain-English read and clear levels for each name.
