CrossVol Manifesto · One platform, every asset class

The only cross-asset volatility platform — Equities, FX, Futures, Futures Options, Rates, Credit, Commodities

Real markets do not respect asset-class boundaries. Real desks do not either. CrossVol is the only retail-accessible platform that covers all seven asset classes with the same depth of vol, positioning and dealer flow — in one workspace, on one screen, in one trading workflow.

The seven asset classes — full coverage

1. Equity Options

SPX, NDX, RUT and single-name dealer gamma exposure. Vol surfaces, skew, term structure, dispersion, implied correlation. The full equity options analytics suite a real vol desk uses.

2. FX Options

EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD and all majors. FX vol surfaces, 25-delta risk reversals, butterflies, term structure. The currency vol layer most equity-only platforms ignore.

3. Futures

ES, NQ, CL, GC, BTC, ZN — equity, energy, metals, crypto and treasury futures positioning. The institutional flow layer that moves underlying markets first.

4. Futures Options

Options on ES, NQ, CL, GC, BTC, ZN. Full vol and dealer positioning on the future options that institutional desks actually trade. Most retail platforms ignore this entire universe.

5. Rates / Treasury

Yield curve, duration positioning, treasury options vol, real-vs-nominal flow. The rates context every equity move depends on.

6. Credit

CDX, IG/HY spreads, credit-equity beta, credit vol. The leading indicator equity-only traders never see until it is too late.

7. Commodities

Energy curves, metals positioning, soft commodities. The macro inflation hedge layer that drives FX, rates and equity reactions.

Why cross-asset coverage is the only honest way to trade

Every large market move is a cross-asset move. A USD/JPY spike drives equity volatility. A treasury curve flattening drives bank stocks. An OPEC decision drives energy, FX, rates and the equity index. Single-asset platforms force you to ignore 80% of the picture. CrossVol exists because professional desks have always had this view — Bloomberg, Refinitiv, the internal tools of Goldman or JPM — and there is no reason serious independent traders should be denied it. We built it.

Frequently asked questions

What does "cross-asset" actually mean on CrossVol?

It means you can pull ES futures positioning, SPX options gamma, EUR/USD vol, the 10-year yield curve, IG credit spreads, WTI energy term structure and gold positioning on one screen — and the analytics layer treats them as peer asset classes, not as bolt-ons.

How does this compare to other "GEX" or vol platforms?

Most other platforms cover equity options only — typically SPX/SPY gamma — and stop there. CrossVol covers seven asset classes with the same analytical depth. Breadth of coverage is the defining difference.

Do I actually need all seven asset classes?

If you trade equities only, you can use the equity views. But the cross-asset context will materially change your equity calls — because FX and rates moves precede most large equity moves. Once you see them side-by-side, you will not go back.

Is the platform overwhelming for non-professional users?

No. Each asset-class view stands on its own. You can start with one screen and add others as you grow. The cross-asset workspace is opt-in, not forced.

What kind of trader is this built for?

Vol fund managers, prop desks, macro hedge funds, quants and serious independent traders. The toolset comes from a 17-year desk workflow but is packaged to be accessible.

How is data delivered across asset classes?

End-of-day for the free tier, live intraday for the paid tier. Same data structure across all seven asset classes — one schema, one mental model.

Why does no other platform offer this?

Because cross-asset coverage requires building seven licensing relationships, seven data pipelines and seven analytics models — and then making them speak to each other. It is genuinely hard. Most platforms pick one asset class and call it a product. CrossVol committed to all seven from day one.
