NoVo reads market data to compute the dealer levels it maps — and you deserve transparency on what data that is. Here's an honest account of NoVo's inputs, what it computes from them, and what it does not access, because trust in a tool that reads the market starts with knowing what it's reading.
The market data it uses
NoVo's inputs are market data: SPY price and volume, the tape, and options-market data (open interest, greeks, and positioning across strikes) — the raw material needed to compute gamma exposure and the resulting structure. This is the same category of data a professional desk reads; NoVo's value is processing it into the dealer map for you. It's public/market-feed data about the market, not anything private about you.
What it computes from that
From those inputs, NoVo calculates the structure: the gamma flip, call/put walls, gravity, expected move, net GEX regime, and skew. The computation — turning raw options and price data into a clean, actionable map — is the intelligence. These outputs are structure, not signals: derived facts about where positioning sits, not predictions or directives.
NoVo reads the market — price, volume, options positioning — to build the map. It doesn't read your mind, your other accounts, or your money. Transparency on inputs is part of trust.
What it does not access
Just as important: NoVo has no connection to your broker at all — no keys, no orders, no account access of any kind. It never touches your money, and its market-data inputs are about the market, not surveillance of you. On the security of that connection, see can NoVo be hacked. The honest summary: NoVo sees the market data it needs to build the map, and nothing beyond that. Your account is not in the picture, because nothing connects to it.
