New on CheeseAI: the Price chart goes intraday.

Profile › Price now opens on 30-minute candles across the last week, with 5m, 15m, 1H and the daily view one tap away. Dots along every strike show where dealer gamma sat while price traded, so you can see which levels held and which got sliced through. Past the last candle, today's book is carried out to expiry inside the range the options are pricing.

Also drawn in: yesterday's high and low, the opening range, the busiest price of the week, and gamma by strike at the right edge.

And prices are live now, trade by trade on the name you have open.

Positioning context, not signals. Education only, not financial advice.

CheeseAI — dealer positioning, turned into levels.

The market makers who sold the options have to hedge, and that hedging piles up at specific strikes. That's why price pins at some numbers and runs through others. CheeseAI finds those strikes before price gets there and puts them on the chart:

🟢 CHEDDAR — the call wall, where a rally gets sold into

🟡 MELT — the gamma flip. Above it moves fade, below it they accelerate

🟣 BLUE — the put wall, where dealer hedging tends to catch a fall

8 boards, refreshed every 5 minutes during the session. 250+ tickers on Plus, 12 on base. Every greek is computed from the raw option chain, and the track record is published — how often the walls held, how dip setups resolved, how earnings moves landed against what was implied.

What it doesn't do: predict direction. It shows where price tends to stall and where it tends to run. News overrides everything.

What CheeseAI actually does, in one screenshot.

Before an earnings print you get the positioning: the call wall, the put wall, the gamma flip, the implied move and the ATM IV going in.

After the print, we grade it. Implied move vs actual move, name by name, beat or inside.

Last 27 graded prints — the actual move beat the implied 13 times. That's 48%. Average implied 9.8%, average actual 13.5%. So lately, straddles have run cheap.

That record gets published whether it flatters us or not. It's the reason to trust anything else on the board.

What it won't do is tell you which way a stock goes. It shows you the levels a move has to travel through, and it keeps score of how that went.

Refreshed every 5 minutes during the session. Education, not advice.

Our newest team member has been taking on the big trades in Micron (MU). TD definitely knows this ticker and everyone who traded with him since he's been calling out MU plays have been hitting.

NVDA 0DTE PUTS — 7/29 RECAP

We flagged 194 as the line. Price lost it and never took it back.

$190 PUT → +481.82% / +298.94%

$187.5 PUT → +416.67% / +262.07%

Two positions. Scaled out in two waves. +$747 total, every exit green.

Fed day, oil ripping, chips getting sold — and the play wasn't predicting any of that. One level, and a plan for what happens when it breaks.

Note what we did NOT do: hold for the top. Two waves out, both green. That's the whole difference between a trade and a story.

This is what Full Membership gets you. Levels before the move, and an exit plan that isn't "hope."

All sales final. Education only — not financial advice. Past results do not predict future returns.

Biggest earnings week of the summer.

Wednesday alone: MSFT, META, ARM, HOOD, SOFI, QCOM, PG, SBUX.
Thursday: AAPL, AMZN, MA.

Five of the six names everyone's watching all report within 24 hours of each other. One bad print resets the whole tape.

Full write-up on every green name is going up in the Discord before the bell — setups, levels, what actually matters in the numbers.

Don't trade this week blind.

Doubled in 2 minutes. Contracts ran over 1,000% at the high.

Closed some of mine at $1.00 for +400%.

Members got the alert live. Everyone else read about it after.

📕 NEW: Options Trading 101 — The Complete Foundations E-Book

Most people lose money on options. Not because they're wrong about direction — because nobody taught them the math underneath the trade.

So I wrote the book I wish I'd had.

84 pages. 8 parts. Everything explained on the page — no prior knowledge assumed, nothing left to "you'll figure it out."

What's covered: → Calls, puts, and reading an option chain line by line → The Greeks — delta, gamma, theta, vega — taught through ONE real contract followed day by day → Charting: candlesticks, levels, trendlines, volume → Indicators, and the classic misuse of every single one → Confluence — a scoreable 10-point checklist for real setups → IV crush: why a correct call can still lose money → Position sizing, drawdown math, and a first-90-days plan

Plus a full glossary, a subject index, and a printable trade journal.

No signals. No shortcuts. Just the foundation everything else is built on.

Available now — instant download.
