INFORMATIONAL ONLY
Cala helps you interpret market data, news, and structure. It is a research copilot — not a place to place orders, and not a feed of “ideas ready to copy.”
| We are | We are not |
|---|---|
| An informational AI market research terminal | A broker or execution venue |
| Market-structure and multi-asset desk | Investment advisory |
| Read-only portfolio analysis | Buy/sell recommendations or “signals” |
| Free plan + clear Pro (web preferred) | An affiliate “trade volume → free Pro” path |
| Bilingual English & Spanish | Fantasy closed-trade P&L theater |
Any AI-generated content is for informational and analytical purposes only and may contain inaccuracies. Market data may be delayed. Consult a licensed financial professional before making investment decisions.
THE POINT
Packaged “ideas with entry, stop, and target” are easy to market — and easy to over-read. Cala does not sell a strategy feed as the product.
MARKET STRUCTURE
Cala surfaces the market-structure data professional traders watch — dark-pool prints, unusual options activity, dealer gamma exposure, and max pain across US markets. The AI explains what each one measures in plain language. Informational data from a third-party feed; may be delayed — not a trade signal, recommendation, or prediction.
Off-exchange trades reported for a ticker — size, price, venue and multi-day volume trends. Shown as reported; not attributed to any party.
Large or unusual options trades by strike, expiry, side and premium — for one ticker or market-wide, screened by Unusual Whales.
An estimated view of dealer gamma positioning, with an explainer of what positive and negative gamma environments mean for volatility.
The strike where the most options would expire worthless, computed per expiration — a widely-discussed options concept, shown for context.
Guides: Dark pool prints · GEX explained · Cala vs Terminal®
Options flow, dark-pool prints, gamma exposure and max pain are market-structure data and analytics for informational and educational purposes only. Data is US-only, sourced from a third-party provider (Unusual Whales), and may be delayed. Nothing here is a trade signal, recommendation, or prediction. Cala is not a broker and does not execute trades.
