Professional trading tools built by a desk trader, not a software vendor
A complete options trading platform: live gamma exposure, dealer positioning, vol surfaces, dispersion, macro flow and cross-asset signals. The same toolset a real volatility desk uses, packaged for serious independent traders.
Trading tools inside CrossVol
Live GEX & dealer gamma
Real-time dealer gamma exposure for SPX, NDX, RUT, single names. The same calculation desks use to predict pinning, gamma flips and squeeze zones.
Options analytics suite
Vol surfaces, skew, term structure, IV rank, RV vs IV. The professional options trading software you would otherwise pay $24k/yr for on a Bloomberg.
Dispersion & correlation
Index vs single-name dispersion, implied correlation, basket builders. The trade that paid the most volatility desks in 2024-2026.
Cross-asset macro flow
FX, rates, credit and commodities side-by-side. See what is actually driving the equity move before the move happens.
Order flow & positioning
CME open interest, DTCC swaps repository, CFTC COT, unusual options activity. Real positioning data, not retail sentiment polls.
Built-in execution checks
Pre-trade Greeks, theta budget, vega caps, stop logic. The risk discipline of a professional desk, embedded in the trading software.
Why these trading tools exist
Most trading platforms are built by engineers who never ran a book. CrossVol is built and used by a 17-year desk trader running real risk across equities, FX, rates, credit and commodities. Every feature comes from a workflow that actually generates P&L — not from a feature spec written by a product manager.

What trading tools does CrossVol provide?
A complete derivatives trading suite: live GEX, dealer positioning, options vol surfaces, dispersion, cross-asset macro flow, CME / DTCC / CFTC positioning data, and pre-trade risk checks. Built for options, volatility and macro traders.
Is CrossVol an options trading platform or a data vendor?
Both. We host the analytics inside the platform and we license the underlying data feeds (CME, CBOE, FX, rates) so you do not need a separate Bloomberg or Refinitiv terminal.
Who uses CrossVol trading tools?
Professional options traders, volatility fund managers, prop desks, quants, and serious independent traders who run derivatives books and need real positioning data.
Is the trading software free?
There is a free EOD tier for retail. Live data and the full professional toolset are paid — pricing on the pricing page.
How does CrossVol compare to other trading platforms?
CrossVol focuses on derivatives, volatility and cross-asset flow. Generic trading platforms (TOS, IBKR, etc.) give you execution; CrossVol gives you the analytics that tell you what to trade and when.
Can I learn how to use these tools?
Yes — the CrossVol Academy training course walks through every screen and the trading logic behind it.
