TSAA-SF October Monthly Virtual Gathering

Title:
"One Screen instead of Five: Reading Price, Options Flow and Fundamentals Together"
Vivek Raj spent twenty years in technology, running multi-region P&Ls and co-founding a computer-vision analytics company, while trading options and equities around his day job through bull runs, crashes and everything in between. In 2020 he founded Options Lake, a registered investment advisor built around options education for retail traders, and ran it for two years.
The same problem followed him the whole way: making one informed trading decision meant stitching together four or five tools. Charts from one subscription, options flow from another, fundamentals from a third, with no single view that showed whether they agreed. Institutional desks have all of this fused into one screen, at a cost of $200K or more a year.
That led him to build ArcAlpha, a trading intelligence and education platform for self-directed traders. It scans the investable US equity universe, about 5,600 stocks and ETFs, through the trading day and again after the close, across multiple timeframes, and looks for agreement between price structure, options flow and fundamental health before a name surfaces. Everything sits inside the broader market context: which sectors are leading and what kind of environment the setup is in. An earnings intelligence layer takes findings from academic research, such as post-earnings announcement drift, and makes them visible and usable for individual traders. ArcAlpha Pro extends the same engine to advisory firms, which author their own index methodologies and receive a nightly brief on every name they hold.
ArcAlpha launched earlier this year: https://arcalpha.io/founder
ArcAlpha is an analytics and education platform. It does not give investment advice, make recommendations or execute trades, and nothing in this session is investment advice.
Please join us in welcoming Vivek. He will walk through the platform live, show how it reads a setup, and share what he learned building it, including the parts that broke along the way.
Description of the Talk:
Most self-directed traders make decisions by stitching together several tools that never talk to each other. This session walks through ArcAlpha, a platform built to read price structure, options flow and fundamental health as one picture, inside the current market regime. Vivek will demo the platform live for the self-directed trader, show the professional version that lets advisory firms author their own index methodologies, and share the engineering lessons from building it: data quality, survivorship, and how to verify a signal before trusting it.
