Getting started

What is NoVo?
NoVo is an AI-powered options-analysis platform focused on SPY / QQQ / IWM. It comes in three products: Analyst — the live dealer-positioning map and a written market read every session; and Trader — that same map streamed live on a candle chart, with an hourly structural audit and its own scored record; and the Crypto Market Map — the same live dealer-positioning read, on crypto. You can start free with the Journal, the Sunday Week Ahead and the daily Mid-Day Tape Review.
Analyst or Trader โ€” which do I need?
Analyst if you want the read — the dealer map, the desk notes, and level-break alerts. Trader if you want that same structural read live on the tape: the levels drawn on a candle chart as they move, a structural audit at the top of every hour, and Dr. NoVo’s own scored record on the setup in front of you. Both include Dr. NoVo, the AI market analyst.
Is any of it free?
Yes. The NoVo Journal (1,200+ articles), Options 101, the Sunday Week-Ahead note, the Mid-Day Tape Review every trading day, the public read archive, and the Discord community are all free. Analyst starts with a 7-day free trial; Trader has no trial โ€” there is 7-day money-back on your first payment.
Is NoVo giving me trade signals?
No. NoVo shows you the market's structure and what tends to follow, and keeps a scored record of how often its own read was right. It never tells you to “buy calls here,” and it isn't financial advice.

Analyst

What do I get with Analyst?
The live SPY/QQQ/IWM dealer map (net GEX, the gamma flip, dealer walls, gravity, expected move, skew, fast/slow MM skew, vanna and charm) in an installable members dashboard; a written desk-note read each session (the Open, the Close, and a Sunday Week Ahead); real-time 'The Line' level-break playbooks; a per-ticker gamma-squeeze signal on the dashboard, a live options-flow read (call vs put demand), and historical analogues (“today looks like…”) plus base rates โ€” what the live setup has resolved to, with its sample size; and the private Analyst channels in Discord.
What do the dealer-map terms mean?
Net GEX = the regime (positive = dealers dampen/mean-revert, negative = they amplify/trend). Gamma Flip = the price where that behavior flips. Call/Put walls = the biggest gamma strikes (pins/resistance above, support below). Expected move = the ยฑ1σ range priced in. Skew = whether traders are paying up for downside or upside. Every term is also explained inline in the dashboard and the reads. Deep dive: the methodology page →
What is 'The Line'?
An alert that fires when SPY, QQQ or IWM breaks or reclaims a MAJOR level and holds past it (prior-day high/low, opening range, pre-market high/low) — with a hold-vs-break playbook and the confirmation to watch. It's deterministic and educational, capped to one per level per direction per day, with a 20-minute minimum gap and at most four a ticker per day (two before 12:30pm ET, two after), on the dashboard and as a push if you have alerts on. It is never a signal to trade.
When do the reads arrive, and where's the archive?
The Open lands before the bell, the Close after the session, and the Week Ahead on Sundays — by email and in the dashboard. Every past read becomes public once its session is over: browse the read archive →
What is Dr. NoVo, the AI market analyst?
An analyst that has logged every session your dealer map has printed, sitting in the header of the live dashboard โ€” press N, or click Dr. NoVo beside the wordmark. It reads today’s positioning, knows what a setup like it resolved to before and over how many sessions, and explains the mechanics behind it: why the flip matters, how the walls pin price, what happens to IV after CPI.

It answers off today’s live dealer map, the full NoVo Journal (1,200+ articles), every session NoVo has logged and its own scored track record. When the answer needs something else, it goes and gets it โ€” the headlines behind a move, the next earnings date, the macro calendar, a quote on any symbol. It lists what it checked underneath each answer, including anything that came back empty, so you can go read them.

It explains the map; the call is yours. Dr. NoVo comes with all three plans.
Do I need a brokerage account for Analyst?
No. Analyst is pure read — nothing to install Trader is a separate tier: the same map, streamed live on a candle chart.

Trader

How do I get a fresh read?
The map updates itself all session, and the structural audit reruns at the top of every hour. When you want one right now — a wall just got taken out, or the tape broke a level — open the Dr. NoVo tab and ask for a deep read — he re-reads the map on the spot.
Do I need a brokerage account?
Not for NoVo. The live market data is included in your subscription, so nothing needs to be connected and nothing needs to be installed. You trade wherever you already trade — your brokerage account is never linked to NoVo.
How does setup work?
After subscribing, go to your portal at novo-options.trade/portal, create your account. Your dashboard is live the moment the account exists — nothing to install, nothing to configure. Most people are reading the map within minutes.
Does NoVo ever touch my money?
Never. It's non-custodial. Your capital stays in your accounts at all times.
Can it lose money?
Yes, and you should know that before subscribing. NoVo is an analysis tool, not a guarantee; reading structure well does not make you right. You decide every trade and every size, and only deploy capital you are prepared to risk. Options trading involves significant risk of loss.

Dashboard & app

How do I open my live dashboard?
From your member portal, click the dashboard button for the tier(s) you're on. Analyst opens the live dealer map at /analyst/live; Trader opens the live map at /trader/live. It's token-gated to your account.
How do I install it as an app?
The dashboards are installable web apps (PWAs). On iPhone/iPad: open it in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android/Chrome: open it, tap the menu → Install app / Add to Home screen. It then opens full-screen like a native app.
Can I get push alerts?
Analyst — yes. Add the dashboard to your home screen, allow notifications when prompted, and you'll get ‘The Line’ level-breaks and each session's read pushed to you. Turn them on or off any time from the dashboard. Trader — no. If you're trading you're already looking at the dashboard, so it doesn't ask.
The dashboard says "reconnecting" or looks stale.
The badge flips to RECONNECTING if it hasn't received a fresh publish recently (e.g. a brief outage). It clears itself once data resumes — just leave it open or reload. If it persists for more than a few minutes during market hours, ping us in Discord.

Account & billing

How do free trials work?
Analyst and the Crypto Market Map each start with a 7-day free trial — a card is collected up front and it auto-converts unless you cancel before it ends. Trader, and the NoVo Complete bundle that contains it, have no trial. The Analyst + Crypto bundle does. Every plan carries a 7-day money-back on your first payment (see the Terms). Trials are one per customer.
Why does my bundle show as two charges?
A bundle is one subscription billed as two lines that add up to the bundle price — Analyst + Crypto is $169/mo, NoVo Complete is $239/mo. You are charged the bundle price, not the sum of the standalone plans.
How do I cancel or change my plan?
One click from the billing link in any Stripe receipt, or from your member portal — no questions asked. Cancel any time; you keep access through the end of the period you've paid for.
Am I locked into a price?
Existing subscribers keep the rate they signed up at — Stripe never re-prices a live subscription. If prices change, you're grandfathered at your original rate for as long as you stay subscribed.
Is checkout secure?
Yes — all payments run through Stripe. NoVo never sees or stores your card details.
