Kingnode reads the options chain the way a dealer desk does and shows you where price gets pinned and where it accelerates.
- Pick a ticker (top bar or the quick list). The chart moves with the tape — every 20 seconds for the core names — and shows the walls, flip and expected move; the right rail reads them for you. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, click to drop a line, F for full screen.
- Map → Heatseeker: the grid is strike × expiration, the ladder on the right says buy / sell / don't fade per level. ★ is the king node.
- Trade → Playbook: your rules (risk %, stop %, DTE) and your positions. Desk → Journal logs every trade with the chain attached and coaches you from the data.
- Hide anything you don't use with Customize. Turn explanations off with Help once you know the screens.
