Sympathy is the first tool built specifically to map how the Magnificent 7 stocks (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, META, GOOGL, TSLA) affect each other's options pricing in real-time.

In trading, a "sympathy move" is when one stock moves because of another stock's catalyst. When NVDA rips 5% after earnings, TSLA and AMZN often follow — that's a sympathy move. But it goes deeper than just price. The implied volatility, gamma exposure, and options flow of all 7 stocks are interconnected.

Institutional dispersion trading desks have tracked these cross-stock contagion effects for years. They use this intelligence to position across multiple names before a catalyst hits. Sympathy brings this same intelligence to retail options traders for the first time.

The Contagion Network is the centerpiece of Sympathy. It displays all 7 Mag 7 stocks as glowing nodes in a constellation layout. Lines between nodes represent the correlation strength between each pair.

How to read it:

• Thicker lines = stronger correlation. When two stocks have a thick cyan line between them, they're moving in lockstep.
• Amber/thin lines = weaker or decoupling correlation. These stocks are moving more independently.
• Node size reflects the stock's current IV percentile — larger nodes have higher implied volatility relative to their historical range.
• Pulsing rings indicate the stock is near a key gamma level or has elevated options activity.

Click any node to isolate that stock's connections. This shows you exactly which stocks will be most affected if that stock makes a big move.

The 7x7 heatmap shows the implied volatility correlation between every possible pair of Mag 7 stocks. Each cell is color-coded:

• Bright cyan (0.8-1.0) = Very high correlation. When one stock's IV moves, the other follows closely.
• Amber (0.5-0.8) = Moderate correlation. Some sympathy but not guaranteed.
• Dim (below 0.5) = Low correlation. These stocks are moving independently.

Trading application: Before entering an options position on any Mag 7 stock, check its correlation row. If NVDA-TSLA correlation is 0.85, a big NVDA move will likely drag TSLA's IV with it. You can position in TSLA options before the sympathy move arrives.

The Daily Regime Panel tells you the current state of the Mag 7 ecosystem at a glance. There are three possible regimes:

Check the regime every morning before the bell. It determines your entire approach for the day.

When a Mag 7 stock reports earnings, it doesn't just move that stock. The Earnings Blast Radius panel shows you exactly how one stock's earnings report mathematically alters the options pricing of the other 6.

How to read it:

• The source stock is the one reporting earnings (shown at center).
• Each target stock shows the expected IV change, historical sympathy move range, and probability of a sympathy move.
• Red zones indicate stocks that historically drop when the source stock misses earnings.
• Green zones indicate stocks that historically rally when the source stock beats.

Trading application: Before NVDA earnings, check the blast radius. If TSLA historically moves +3% in sympathy when NVDA beats, you can buy TSLA calls before NVDA reports — capturing the sympathy move at a fraction of NVDA's IV premium.

GEX (Gamma Exposure) measures how much market makers need to hedge their options positions. The Sympathy GEX panel shows three critical levels for each Mag 7 stock:

The sympathy angle: When NVDA breaks through its call wall, the resulting gamma squeeze can trigger sympathy moves in TSLA and AMZN as correlated options flow cascades across the Mag 7.

Smart Alerts notify you when a Mag 7 stock approaches a key gamma level that could trigger a sympathy cascade. Available alert types:

• Gamma Flip Approach — Stock is within 1% of its gamma flip point. Direction could change.
• Call Wall Test — Stock is testing its call wall. Watch for rejection or breakout.
• Put Wall Break — Stock broke below its put wall. Selling may accelerate.
• IV Spike — Implied volatility jumped significantly. Something is happening.
• Correlation Shift — Two stocks that were correlated are suddenly decoupling (or vice versa).

Alerts are available on the Pro plan. Configure them on the Alerts page.
