The Brief.

Idea Scout tells you who's saying what. The Brief tells you what the money is doing — every market morning.

Same reader, same rules — information, not advice — one more dial: settled options data on 700 liquid names, read overnight, in your inbox before the open.

Your watchlist, watched

Tell us the names you hold or follow. Every morning the Brief reads their tape — volume, positioning, premium — and speaks up only when something is unusual.

The fact feed

Notable options days across all 700 names — multi-day volume builds, unusual size, direction — the same screens our own research runs on.

Someone making a specific bet

When size concentrates on one strike, one expiry, far from the money — you see the contract, the dollar volume, and the lean.

Well-paid days to sell premium

The validated read: names at high vol, near yearly highs, or just after a drop — the days put-selling has historically been paid best.

The board, day by day

What changed on the Idea Scout board since the last edition — new calls, who flipped, who doubled down.

The c8alpha take

A short, plain-language read of the day — what looks interesting and why. Opinion clearly labeled, never a percentage dressed as certainty.
