About
Desk data at
a retail price.
We built ApexVol because professional-quality options data should not be locked behind a Bloomberg terminal. Every trader deserves the same analytical edge.
What we build
Everything reads
from one feed.
The chain, volatility, dealer positioning and strategy, on one screen and one ticker, with less than ten seconds of market delay.
The chain
Real-time options chain
Complete chains with live Greeks, IV, volume and open interest. Every strike, every expiration, updated in near real time.
Volatility
Volatility intelligence
IV rank, IV percentile, volatility cones, term structure and vol surface analysis. Know when options are cheap or expensive.
Positioning
Gamma exposure
Dealer positioning and gamma exposure by strike. The support and resistance that market-maker hedging creates, made visible.
Strategy
Strategy Lab
Multi-leg strategies with instant payoff diagrams, probability of profit and stress tests across volatility scenarios.
Our data
The same feed
the desks use.
ApexVol runs on an institutional-grade feed, the same class of data source used by hedge funds and proprietary trading firms. Every data point is verified, calculated and delivered with less than ten seconds of market delay.
Why traders choose it
What the free
tools leave out.
Three things the free platforms do not give you, and the terminals charge a multiple for.
Speed without compromise
Near real-time data with less than ten seconds of market delay, not the fifteen-minute delay of free platforms.
Institutional data, retail price
The same institutional data used by hedge funds, 340+ fields per ticker, at a fraction of institutional terminal costs.
An active community
Our Discord carries real-time trade ideas, IV alerts and strategy discussion with experienced options traders.
Founded by
A trader and
a strategist built it.
A trader who writes software and a strategist who reads volatility built the desk they could not buy.
