Condor Charts
For options day traders

See the whole chart.Make your own call.

Condor Charts shows what price, volume and options are doing right now: the levels that matter today, VWAP, Wyckoff phase, VSA, and what each contract makes or loses at your stop, fees included. It doesn't tell you to buy or sell, and it doesn't draw the future.

Why traders end up here

You've already paid for tools that promised more than they delivered.

The arrows

Signals that looked great in screenshots

Buy and sell marks drawn after the fact, projected targets, a win rate on the sales page. Then they fell apart live, and nothing told you when to trust them.

The contract

Right idea, wrong option

You called the move and still lost: the spread was wide, theta ate the premium, or the strike barely moved with the stock.

The habits

Nothing that makes you better

No record of why you entered, no plan for getting out, and nothing that stops the third trade after two losses.

How it works

Condor Charts reads the market. You make the trade.

Condor Charts shows
  • Today's levels
  • VWAP and its bands
  • Wyckoff phase
  • Volume spread analysis
  • Who is pushing (CVD)
  • Every contract, priced
 
You decide
  • Whether to trade
  • Which contract
  • How many
  • Where you're wrong
  • How you get out

No buy or sell signals, no projected targets. The decision stays with you, and so does the record of how it went.

The chart

Today’s map, on one chart.

The levels a day trader checks every morning, drawn and labelled, with what price is doing at each one.

  • Levels with a state. Previous day high and low, the open and daily ATR levels, each marked holding, testing, rotating or broken.
  • VWAP that says what kind of day it is. Trend or two-sided, with the deviation bands you choose.
  • Options on the price axis. Nearby strikes with call and put prices, walls, breakevens with fees, and the expected-move cone.

Wyckoff and VSA

Phase on four timeframes. Volume events on three.

Under the chart, one strip per timeframe shows where the market is in its cycle, and where the volume events happened.

  • Wyckoff phase on the 4h, 1h, 15m and 5m: accumulation, markup, distribution, markdown or a range, with how many bars it has lasted.
  • VSA strips for the 1h, 15m and 5m, so a 5-minute spring lines up under the 15-minute bar it belongs to.

Volume spread analysis

Every volume event, with where it happened.

Climaxes, springs, upthrusts, tests and shakeouts on the timeframe you trade, newest first.

  • Each signal says where it formed, such as “at the previous 15-minute low”.
  • Click the (?) to see what the bar shows, and how similar climaxes played out on this symbol.
  • No Supply and No Demand stay off by default: they predicted nothing in our tests.

Order flow from bars

Who is pushing, in plain words.

Cumulative volume delta for today and on-balance volume on four timeframes, written as buyers pushing, sellers pushing or balanced.

  • Since when, and what it was before: “since 3:30 (was balanced)”.
  • Whether price agrees: “price lower than at that trough” flags a mismatch.
  • Recent peaks and troughs with their values and times.

Trade Planner

Draw the trade. Get the contract that fits it.

Put your entry, stop and target on the chart. Condor Charts prices every nearby contract for that plan in plain dollars, so you can choose without reading Greeks.

  • Three numbers per contract: at your target, at your stop, and the cost of waiting for your hold time.
  • Ranked per dollar risked by reward to risk, least decay, or a balance of both.
  • Bad quotes left out: wide spreads, thin open interest and quotes out of line with the stock.

The order ticket

Size by risk. Pick how you get out.

The ticket suggests a size from your risk per trade, shows the breakeven with fees, and resolves your exit plan into prices and contracts before you buy.

  • “Risk $100 → 5 contracts at this stop”, never changed for you.
  • Each target and the stop in dollars, before you commit.
  • “No exit plan” is always a choice.

Exit plans

Design how you take profits.

Partial targets, an initial stop, stop rules and a time stop. Save them as plans and pick one per trade.

  • Targets in R, option %, the plan’s target or a price.
  • Breakeven after a target, lock-ins, and trailing by swing, ATR or VWAP. Rules only ever tighten the stop.
  • A worked example under every plan, in dollars.

In the trade

A trade card that remembers why you entered.

While a trade is open, the card shows the reasons you had at entry next to the same checks now, and every step the exit plan took.

  • Live R, where the stop sits, and how many contracts are left.
  • A timeline: “T1 filled 2 @ 2.65”, “Stop → breakeven”.
  • Close 1, Close all, Stop → breakeven, one click each. What changed since entry, never what to do.

Daily guardrails

Rules that hold when you don’t.

A daily loss limit, a pause after losses in a row, a cap on trades per day, and an opening cool-down. Block new trades or just warn.

  • Loss limit in dollars or percent of the day’s starting balance.
  • Pause after 2 losses for 15 minutes, an hour or the rest of the day.
  • Closing a position always works.

Journal and review

See your habits, not just your P&L.

Every paper trade lands in the journal with the chart at entry and exit. The weekly review breaks it down.

  • By setup and by exit plan: trades, win rate, average R and net.
  • Habits: checklist complete or not, time of day, how long losers were held, trades in the cool-down.
  • Calendar by week or month, one click to any trade.

Bar replay

Practice any past session.

Pick a day and trade it again. Candles form tick by tick from 1-minute data, and option prices are modeled for that day.

  • Play at 1× to 300×, or step a minute or a bar at a time.
  • A separate replay account, so practice never mixes with your paper record.
  • A summary at the end, like a live day.

Watchlist and alerts

Know when something happens elsewhere.

Your watchlist sits beside the chart with each symbol’s bias and its latest alert. A quiet alert strip covers the rest.

  • Alerts when price reaches a level, a VWAP deviation, or the day’s high or low.
  • Snooze for 15 minutes or an hour, or mute alert types.
  • Alerts are stored by day, so you can look back.
