The options suite

Twelve chart-native indicators built from Deribit's live options board — dealer positioning, walls and magnets, the volatility surface, and live options flow.

The options suite: which tool, when?

Options traders leave footprints. Every open contract forces someone on the other side, usually a market maker, to hedge in the spot and futures market, and that hedging pressure shapes how price moves. The options suite reads Deribit's live options board and turns it into chart-native answers: where dealers are positioned, which strikes act as magnets or walls, what volatility the market is pricing, and what options traders are buying right now.

Twelve indicators share one live data feed and one set of conventions. If a term below is new to you, start with How the math works: ten minutes there makes every panel obvious.

Where the data comes from

Everything is computed from Deribit's live options board (the venue with the deepest crypto options liquidity) and Deribit options trades. Coverage follows Deribit's listings: BTC and ETH have the richest boards; SOL, XRP and other listed coins work with fewer strikes. On a symbol with no Deribit options, the panels stay empty by design.

Values refresh on a self-timer (default every 60 seconds, adjustable per indicator in its settings). Between refreshes the numbers are static; there is no tick-by-tick options feed. The suite's math has been validated against Deribit's own published statistics and cross-checked against independent options analytics platforms.

Every panel also carries its own Theme setting (six color palettes, picked per indicator) and can be maximized from its legend button or by double-click; see each page's Settings section for the specifics.
