Shocker! Actually Useful Analytical Tools
I love SpotGamma. I could give you all the company’s sales pitch and tell you that’s why I love SpotGamma, but that’s not why I love SpotGamma.
I love SpotGamma because they saved my sorry behind in 2022.
Picture the scene. November 2021, my gut and my charts go, uh oh, markets are getting shaky, yikes time to get out for a while. We publish a “Buckle Up” subscriber note in late November that to this day I still get emails thanking me for. Market duly keels over as expected. All good.
Then right when I thought the market should pick back up, and I had started putting money back to work, it just … kept dropping. And I have no problem being wrong about markets, it happens four times a day just like anyone else; I also know what to do when wrong which is to say hedge or get out whilst you have a think about what to do. But what I couldn’t figure out in 2022 was why the thing kept dropping.
Anyway cut a long story short the answer was: because the options market, stupid. Specifically, the use of institutional hedging strategies in index options that just kept dragging down the S&P below where I thought it would bottom out. And once I understood that I knew what signs to look for to see a real bottom being put in, whereupon I could happily allocate heavily to long positions once more, which I did. And then we were off to the races once more, phew.
Want to know how I learned this? I learned it from Brent Kochuba, the founder at SpotGamma. You can watch my most recent conversation with him, here.
Since then, the company’s tools have gone from strength to strength and today they announce a big feature set upgrade.
