Every catalyst has happened before.
VEGA knows which side paid.

1. 01

   Start from the event

   Before the open and through the session, VEGA reads the catalysts: company news and filings, the earnings calendar, scheduled macro releases, and sudden shocks. The event comes first and the companies come from the event — VEGA does not start with a watchlist and go hunting for a reason.

2. 02

   Resolve the role

   One event has winners and losers. An acquirer and a target move opposite ways on the same headline; an export restriction lifts domestic manufacturers and hurts the exporters. VEGA assigns each affected company its role — who benefited, who was hurt — and that role decides call or put. Direction is settled here, and no later rule overrides it.

3. 03

   Screen for tradability

   Of the companies the event touched, which can actually be traded well? VEGA checks for genuine liquidity, a real options chain, and an expected move large enough to cover the cost of getting in and back out. This decides whether an idea is worth trading at all — never which way it should go.

4. 04

   Match against the library

   The live setup is compared against a library of resolved historical events, each one carried at prices from the real options chain rather than modelled after the fact. What matters is the strength of the match across the whole situation. A weak match produces nothing at all.

5. 05

   Size it, then send it

   How strong the catalyst is, how much attention it is drawing, and how the move is developing determine the size of the position — never its direction. What reaches you carries the catalyst, the sized position, and the historical analogue that produced it.

6. 06

   Time it — and step aside for the announcement

   When the resolution is on the calendar — an earnings date, a policy decision — VEGA is built to be positioned into the anticipation and out before the announcement, rather than holding through it. The aim is to be paid for the run-up, not to gamble on the outcome. Sudden shocks are the exception: they have already happened, so there is nothing left to step aside from.

7. 07

   Exit at the peak

   Getting out is treated as seriously as getting in. VEGA estimates where a position is likely to top out — scaling what its closest historical analogues did to today’s conditions — and works to close there rather than ride a good position back down. Money left on the table is counted as a failure in its own right, not just a smaller win.

Catalyst strength, attention and momentum inform how much — never which way. Direction is inherited from the matched historical role, so a bearish analogue produces a put with the same conviction a bullish one produces a call.

1. 01 — Open

   When VEGA decides, you hear first

   You receive the ticker, the direction (CALL or PUT), the specific contract, the size — and the why: the catalyst behind the idea and the historical episode it matched. Without a stated reason, nothing goes out.

2. 02 — Along the way

   It keeps watching after you are in

   While a position is open, VEGA continues monitoring. You hear when the move is approaching where similar setups have historically exhausted, when conditions are holding or shifting, and when protection levels apply.

3. 03 — Adverse — exit now

   If conditions turn against you, you hear immediately

   A regime flip. Adverse news. VEGA fires an urgent exit alert when something material goes against the position. The intent is to get you out before the giveback, not after. This alert does not wait for your next check-in.

4. 04 — Close

   Exit at the peak — then it is done

   When the exit logic determines the move has reached its target, you hear to close. The aim is the full peak — not roughly there, at it. After you are out, the position cycle resets and the library learns from the outcome.
