SYNAPSEHow a call gets made, and how you can check it.
Synapse reads the S&P tape all session. A call goes out only when every gate passes, and a stand-down names the gate that held it. Here is what it reads, how it decides, and what you get.
Gates decide. Every one is on the record.
No language model decides a trade. The engine reads the tape, runs each gate in the same order every time, and publishes the verdict either way.
Read the tape
/ES futures and SPX, minute by minute: trend, order flow, the auction. Microstructure, not chart patterns.
Run the gates
Session trend strength, the SPX open-interest pin at the open, a Russell cross-check, and an entry model that prices the odds.
Call it
When every gate passes: side, strike relative to the money, a short entry window, and the exit rule. Same message, same moment, for everyone.
Or stand down
When a gate says no, the stand-down publishes too, with the gate that decided it. A quiet session is still a decision you can see.
Behind the trades: two strategies.
The call is the engine's read of the market. Its trades come from two strategies running on one risk core, and every decision from either one lands in the same record. Their day-to-day results barely move together, so in our full-history tests running both earned more per dollar of drawdown than either one alone.
Directional, and the trade members get alerted on. Waits for the session's first confirmed trend, checks it against the open-interest pin and the Russell, and lets an entry model price the odds before it calls the side. A same-day option with a fixed exit.
Structure. Builds its position in stages through the session and only completes it when the terms lock in; otherwise it rides what it has. On the desk today, and in Signal once staged calls have an order format you can route.
What the engine reads, and how it runs itself.

Every input is graded each tick. A missing or degenerate read holds the engine off instead of letting it guess.
Shadow first
Upgrades run beside the live rule, deciding nothing, until the record says they earned the job.
Circuit breaker
An account-level breaker flattens and halts. Restarting after a halt is one of the few steps a person takes.
The broker wins
Reconcilers check positions and settlements against the broker, and the broker wins every disagreement.
Models narrate, never decide
Language models explain the desk, and one sits as a juror on each day's call, giving its verdict and its reasons. None of them can place, size or block a trade.
A 180-day trail
Every tick's reasoning chain is kept gate by gate, so any decision can be rebuilt after the fact.
Two things, live, all session.
One call at a time, in five words: PUT TREND, PUT LEAN, CHOP, CALL LEAN, CALL TREND, with a strength meter. A new call posts once it holds a full 5-minute bar. A call describes the market; it isn't a trade.
When the engine trades, you get one alert:
Most days it doesn't trade, and you won't hear from it. A trade is what the engine did, not a recommendation.
A strength meter
One to five bars on every call: how big and how clean the move is right now. Not a probability.
The full record
Every call on the SPX chart, every session, kept, so you can watch how it behaves before you trust it.
Your account stays yours
Synapse never places orders or touches anyone's account. What to do with a call, if anything, is the member's decision.
