Dealer gamma walls and the flip, expected move, fresh positioning, flow, market breadth and a chart that keeps up in every session — for every optionable name in the US market — plus Ava, a desk assistant that reads the same screen you do. Every number on it says where it came from and how old it is.
Quotes here run about 20–45 seconds behind the tape and options chains are 15 minutes delayed — the page says so next to each number. Real-time quotes, bid × ask and chains come from your own broker connection inside Claude, or from a streaming server you run. Not investment advice.
This is the real terminal, not a screenshot. Scroll inside it. ⌘K jumps anywhere.
Most positioning tools hand you a wall of colors and a Discord. Kingnode tells you what the colors mean, adds the parts they charge extra for, and never lets a stale number look fresh.
Teal pins, coral accelerates. The biggest nodes are flagged so you're not squinting for them, and a history of snapshots shows positioning migrate during the day.
The four numbers most traders actually use, at the top of the screen, drawn on the chart, and tracked in a levels history so you can see when a wall moved.
"Positive gamma, spot 0.4% above the flip, call wall at 7,800" — written as a paragraph you can act on, with the caveats attached instead of hidden.
0DTE through LEAPS with ATM IV and the ± range — and a running record of how often the market actually stayed inside the band, so you know how much to trust it.
Contracts trading 1.5× their OI today — new bets ranked by dollar notional — instead of a firehose of every print.
Session flow derived from chain changes, the most active contracts, dealer-side read, FINRA short volume and insider filings, one click from the heatmap. Labelled as derived, because it is.
Candles that move with the tape, pre-market, regular, after hours and the overnight 24-hour print; walls, flip and the expected-move band on price; EMAs, VWAP, Bollinger, RSI, prior-day levels, opening range; one minute to daily; full screen with F; your own lines.
Advancers and decliners, up- and down-volume, names above their 20- and 50-day, new highs and lows — swept across 5,000+ optionable stocks every five minutes, with an intraday breadth line.
Type a ticker or a company name, or hit ⌘K and type anything: tickers, tabs, chart intervals, actions. Hundreds of names are pre-computed; everything else loads on demand.
Verified BLS, BEA and FOMC dates through 2027, opex and witching, your own events with notifications — and the latest CPI, jobs, fed funds and Treasury yields, fetched hourly from the publishers.
A journal with coach stats — drawdown, outlier dependence, loss tails, session breakdown — and an Ideas card whose backtest shows costs, gross versus net and an out-of-sample walk-forward, even when the answer is unflattering.
Price and level alerts to the browser or Discord, a halal screen for the universe, one-click backups that never contain a key, and a layout you arrange yourself. Installs to a phone home screen.
"Real-time" is a claim most tools make and few can back. Kingnode labels each surface honestly, and the Data health panel inside the terminal shows the same table live, with ages, in red when something is wrong.
| Surface | Source | Cadence | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quotes & tape | A feed that runs on GitHub Actions and polls Yahoo's chart data, every session including the overnight 24-hour print | Every 20 s in market hours | snapshot · ~20–45 s behind |
| Options chains, walls, flip, Heatseeker | Cboe's delayed quotes, with open interest, volume, IV and greeks | Every 3 min | 15-min delayed |
| Flow | Derived from each contract's volume change between chain snapshots, plus FINRA daily short volume and insider filings | With the chain | derived |
| Breadth | A sweep of every optionable US stock over $5 | Every 5 min | snapshot |
| Macro readings & calendar | BLS public API, the NY Fed's effective rate, Treasury yields; release dates from the publishers' own schedules | Hourly | official |
| Inside Claude's preview | Your own Robinhood connection, with your consent — last trade, bid × ask, bars and a full options chain with greeks and OI | Quotes every 4 s, chain every 2 min | real-time |
| Self-hosted stream | Run the included server with Alpaca (free, IEX) or Polygon keys; keys stay on the server | Tick by tick | real-time · IEX or SIP, labelled |

Ava is Claude, given Kingnode's data as tools instead of a memory of the market. She answers from the chain, the flow, the chart, the calendar and your journal — and says which, and how old.
Session, quote source and age, chain age, feed loop, market sweep, breadth, stream, broker — green, gold or red. A Diagnostics button turns it into one block of text to paste when something looks wrong.
The math, the series engine, the market clock, the streaming hub, the broker parsers and the macro job are tested on every change; the whole page is driven in a headless browser before it ships.
The Ideas backtest charges slippage, shows gross against net and runs a quarterly walk-forward. When the walk-forward loses — as it does today — the card says so instead of showing the pretty half.
On this site, no, and it says so: quotes are a snapshot about 20–45 seconds behind the tape and chains are Cboe's 15-minute-delayed ones. That is plenty for levels that move on open interest, which updates once a day. Real-time comes two ways — your own Robinhood connection inside Claude's preview (quotes, bid × ask and a full chain, with your consent), or the included streaming server with Alpaca or Polygon keys. Each is labelled as what it is: IEX is one exchange, not the consolidated tape, and the badge never pretends otherwise.
Gamma × open interest × 100 × spot² × 1%, per strike and expiration. The default model assumes dealers are long calls and short puts, the standard convention; a magnitude-only model is one click away. The heatmap, walls and flip all derive from that, and the levels history shows how they moved.
No. It tells you where hedging flows are likely to support, cap or accelerate price so you can plan around them. Positioning is context, not a signal, and nothing here is investment advice. The Ideas card ranks setups against written rules and shows you a backtest that is allowed to be unflattering.
In your browser's storage, nowhere else. The Anthropic key for Ava, a GitHub token for restarting the feed and any proxy URL are stripped from backups and never sent to a server Kingnode runs. The streaming server, if you run one, keeps its provider keys in its own environment; the page only ever sends it symbol names.
Yes. It is one HTML file and a feed that runs on GitHub Actions. npm run serve runs the same app locally with the streaming tier; there is a desktop build as well. The source is public.
Nothing. It is a personal build. Ava uses your own Anthropic key at Anthropic's prices; real-time data, if you want it, is whatever your provider charges — the terminal itself adds nothing.
Open the terminal, pull up SPX, and read the levels before the bell.
