A New Way to Slope!

It’s time to help me test something new!

Most of you know that Slope has had mobile apps on Android and Apple for years. They’re pretty good, and very well rated (4.8 stars on both platforms), but I’ve never been over-the-moon happy with them. I wanted to change that, so we’ve been working on something quite new, which is an app we are going to call SocialTrade.

The app isn’t ready to download yet on the Apple or Google Play platforms, because I want to put it through the paces first (plus we have some improvements to make). I would VERY much appreciate your help testing this, however, and I think you’d have fun trying something new.

Step One: you need to download an app called Expo Go on your Android or iOS device. Just search for that name in the App Store or Google Play.

I have absolutely zilch to say about the markets this morning, except that I got out of my PEP short at a loss pre-market (mercifully before the price got even higher) but am otherwise fully in position. What I will say now, however, is that we are hard at work on a totally new app very much focused on live conversation in the Slope community. I’m excited to be developing and testing something new for you!

SPX DAILY Probability Analysis

Hello everyone — after a bit of a hiatus, I’m back. I’ve been busy behind the scenes building a few new tools that I hope you’ll find useful in your trading.

Below is a small table showcasing three markets I’m currently analyzing using a DAILY model. I also track other markets using a WEEKLY model. The choice of timeframe isn’t random — it’s driven by options expiry cycles. Since these models are designed to work hand-in-hand with options trading, I align the model’s frequency with the available expiries. For example, SPX has daily expirations, so it gets a DAILY model. Stock ABC, on the other hand, might only have weekly expiries — so it gets a WEEKLY model. Simple logic.
