FlashAlpha

Research & Analysis — Freemium

Options analytics API and free dashboards for gamma exposure, dealer positioning and vol surfaces.

Options exposure API with a built-in MCP server for AI agents

Overview

FlashAlpha is options plumbing for people who write code. It computes gamma, delta, vanna and charm exposure, volatility surfaces, Greeks and max pain for 6,000+ US stocks and ETFs plus CME futures, then serves it through an API. It is built for quants, systematic traders and fund desks, and it is known for publishing aggregate vanna and charm data that few public sources offer.

You get a key, call an endpoint, and receive clean JSON: gamma flip level, call and put walls, 0DTE pin risk, expected move. History replays minute by minute back to 2017 in the same format as live data, which matters for honest backtests. The AI angle is real. An MCP server with 73 tools plugs the data into Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, and higher tiers add an AI narrative that explains exposure in words. Free web dashboards cover GEX, IV rank and unusual activity for anyone who only wants to look.

The catch is the price ladder. The free tier allows five requests a day on 15-minute delayed data. Basic costs $79 a month, or $63 billed annually. The 0DTE and AI narrative tools sit at $299, and full history at $1,499. There is no mobile app and no hand holding. If you do not code and do not trade options, skip it.

• Minute-level history back to 2017
• Free GEX dashboards with no signup

Cons

• Free tier capped at 5 requests a day
• Top tiers cost $299 and $1,499 a month
