Where the big positions sit — before the bell.

The whole open-interest picture, read top to bottom.
OptionsLens runs once, before the open, and hands you the four things that actually frame the day — in the order you’d read them.
Put / call OI balance
The skew at a glance — are open positions leaning defensive or aggressive heading into the session?
Top expiries by open interest
The three expiries holding the most contracts, so you know which dates the crowd is actually positioned around.
Top OI strikes
The specific strikes with the heaviest open interest — the price levels the market is most committed to.
52-week range
Where today’s price sits against the yearly high and low, so every read has a frame around it.
Open interest is where commitment shows up.
Price tells you where the market is. Open interest tells you where it’s committed — the strikes and expiries big players have already staked out. OptionsLens puts that map in front of you before you take your first trade, so you’re reading the day’s structure instead of reacting to it.
Reading positioning before the move.
On May 1, the 2nd Skies positioning read flagged 725 as the next significant level on the board — noted in the morning commentary at 6:49am MT, before the open.
We’re in a solid pocket of positive gamma with 725 the next big strike on the board. VIX continuing lower only helps the rally via the Vanna lever… until we get a close below 715 in SPY, we like staying bullish.
→ SPY hit 725 by Friday’s close. Timestamped, documented, and read before the move — this is what trading the structure looks like.

Former Wall Street broker and hedge fund trader. Chris built 2nd Skies Trading in 2007 with one purpose: teach traders how markets actually work — through positioning, flows, and price action, not lagging indicators and retail mythology. He is currently completing an MSc in Biomedical Neuroscience at the University of Florida, with a focus on how the brain drives trading performance.
“Unlike many other courses, he doesn’t shy away from complexity. As a student, I feel like I’m genuinely learning something valuable. Chris emphasizes practice to make concepts second nature.”
“Before I joined 2ndSkies, I’d been trying to trade on my own for 11 years without any success whatsoever. I’m now making money consistently. This has truly been a life-changing experience.”
“Starting out with 2ndSkies 5 years ago was hands-down the best investment I’ve ever made. I’ve developed my skills far enough to trade full time soon.”
Good to know.
When does OptionsLens update?
Once per session, at 7:30am ET — a single clean snapshot to frame your day before the open, not a noisy feed to babysit.
How is this different from GammaLens?
GammaLens is the real-time gamma positioning tool — the top call and put strikes, the pivot, live through the session. OptionsLens is the once-daily open-interest snapshot — where the most contracts are already committed, read before the bell. They answer different questions, and both come with the Terminal.
Which tickers are covered?
The major indices, ETFs, and liquid single names — the same universe used across the 2nd Skies suite.
How do I get it?
OptionsLens is part of the 2nd Skies Terminal at $249/year, or included in the full PFP course. There’s no separate OptionsLens-only purchase — one Terminal subscription unlocks every app.
