Opening Setup is not a data dump — each part of the report answers a specific question you have before the open. Each data point explains why it matters to support your trading.

The market's sentiment, scored 0–100

The SG Flow Signal compresses three proprietary signals into one number — bearish to bullish. On days the flow stays bullish while price drops, it flags a DIP WATCH.

Why it matters: This is your regime check before you place a trade — lean into setups when it's high, size down or hedge when it's low.

Four screened setup profiles

Bullish, bearish, short-vol and long-vol cards surface the names where options pricing is most stretched, each matched to the kind of structure that fits.

Why it matters: This is your shortlist of statistical extremes, so you're not screening thousands of tickers yourself.

The biggest conviction trades

The biggest directional bets of the day — surfaced from SpotGamma’s proprietary analysis on open-interest changes, tagged by what makes each trade notable: earnings, divergence, high skew, momentum.

Why it matters: See what conviction money is actually doing, and get a sentiment read on the names you already hold.

The “am I overpaying?” volatility scanner

The ten most active names with a plain-English read on whether implied volatility is high or low versus their own history.

Why it matters: The same trade is a very different bet if the vol is expensive — this tells you which side of premium to be on.

What's priced into earnings

For names reporting soon, see the implied move, the last three actual post-earnings reactions, and how the expected move compares with history — plus an AI-driven trade thesis for each.

Why it matters: The entire earnings-trading game in one line.
