Navigate Liquidity, Credit Risk, and Volatility Across Asset Classes
Markets today are shaped by persistent liquidity shifts, positioning flows, and volatility that the daily news cycle rarely explains clearly. Navigating The Market breaks it down: daily macro, liquidity, and positioning analysis, gamma exposure, CTA flows, and dealer hedging, to help you understand not just what moved, but what’s likely to move next.
I take a different approach
Stepping back to examine how stocks, rates, credit spreads, and currencies interact
Focusing on the underlying liquidity and funding conditions behind market trends
Weighing gamma positioning and dealer hedging flows that drive support, resistance, and reversals
Tracking CTA and systematic flows to flag shifts before they show up in price
What’s in the daily report
Daily macro and positioning commentary covering stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities, what’s driving the tape and why
Gamma exposure breakdowns showing where dealer hedging is creating support, resistance, and potential reversal zones
CTA positioning and systematic flow analysis showing where trend-following capital is positioned and where it’s likely to flip

Our proprietary models
Two of the core tools behind the daily report:
Gamma Exposure (GEX) Model
Maps where dealers are positioned in options markets, call walls, put walls, and net gamma exposure, to flag where price is likely to find support, resistance, or accelerate through a level.
CTA Positioning Model
Tracks systematic, trend-following flows across major indices, highlighting where CTA exposure is stretched and where flips in positioning are likely to add fuel to a move, in either direction.
