Home/The Desk
The desk
Three analysts. Named, with the instruments they actually trade and the research they have written. If you are going to take a position because someone told you to, you should know who told you.
CoolaDoola
Co-owner · SPX · Index day tradingThe desk's most seasoned trader. Built GammaSonar and co-owns Rawstocks since the 2025 merger, trading a narrow set of SPX levels repeatedly rather than hunting new setups.
Gandalf
Analyst · Volatility tradingTrading for over 10 years. Focuses on SPX and tech names, with earnings and event-driven setups when volatility runs highest.
Why this page exists
Most alert services are anonymous. A handle, a Discord, a results screenshot, no way to tell whether the person behind it has traded for ten years or ten weeks.
That anonymity is convenient for the operator and useless for you. If an alert costs you money, you should at least know whose reasoning you were following, what they trade, and whether their published record supports taking their word for anything.
Every alert on the record is attributable to one of the three people above, and every article on this site carries a byline linking here.
