Retail never had a trading desk.
So we built one.
Stryk ranks the best play across equities, options, futures, crypto and forex, reads what institutions are doing, and builds a setup with the level that proves it wrong. When the evidence disagrees, it says there is no side rather than inventing one.
500 Genesis Passes.
A real, authenticated capture of the desk home. Your portfolio, desk-marked against the market.
“I won't ship anything to Genesis members I'm not running myself.”
KAI KAIJUKA, FOUNDER
Not a signal feed. A desk that reasons and shows its work.
Specialised agents, each doing one job and handing off. Every play carries the chain.
Read the flow, derive a side
The desk reads what institutions are doing, cross-checked against the deterministic engine and the ML models. Names score on confluence: how many independent planes point the same way.
Build a setup that can be proven wrong
A play is only tradeable with a full plan: entry, stop, target. The stop is the falsifier, the price at which the idea is wrong.
Gate it against your own risk
Before anything stages, the desk re-runs the risk rules from your own account state, not from a verdict handed to it. Enforced in code, not left to a disclaimer.
Ask why, get the evidence back
Alari, the AI copilot, sits at your elbow on every page: which planes agree, which disagree, and how strong each one is. Every number carries its source and its age. It will not manufacture confidence it does not have.
Hand you the next move
A decision-ready plan you can actually run. Every action is journaled and reviewed after the fact, so you and the desk both learn.
When there's no defensible trade, it says so.
Most tools are built to always have an answer. Stryk isn't. When no plane can state a direction, the name goes to Watching with no side against it and no plan, however high its confluence. The desk would rather show you nothing than manufacture a side. Research, not advice.
The Relay sees the move before price does.
Institutional positioning from CFTC Commitments of Traders. Net contracts, 1-week change, and divergence readouts across five asset classes. Refreshes every Friday when the COT report drops.
Three ways to use Stryk. One product underneath.

The tools a desk runs on — and what each one is for.
Institutional data is only useful if you know what it means. Each tool below is a real capture from the desk, with the plain-English read: what it is, and how it helps you decide.
See where market makers pin or chase price.
WHAT IT MEANS
Every option you buy is sold by a dealer who hedges it in the underlying. Near the big strikes that hedging builds a call wall that acts as resistance and a put wall that acts as support, with a gamma-flip level where the tape changes behaviour: below it, moves accelerate; above it, they get pinned. Stryk computes these from live dealer-greek data, puts them on the chart, and shows the options market’s own expected one-day move.
HOW IT HELPS YOU DECIDE
You stop guessing at support and resistance. You see where a breakout would actually mean something, where price is likely to stall, and the exact level that would prove the read wrong.
A conviction number that tells you when to trust it.
WHAT IT MEANS
Conviction is not a black box. The desk reads six independent institutional evidence planes — options flow, open interest, dark pool, short interest, congress / insider / 13F, futures positioning — and scores how many point the same way, minus how many dissent, scaled by dealer positioning and the macro tape. When the data is thin it caps the number and says so, in plain sight: “thin coverage: 2 of 6 planes”, rather than pretending.
HOW IT HELPS YOU DECIDE
You size to the evidence. A well-covered, agreeing read is a different trade from a thin, conflicted one — and the number, plus what would kill the idea, tells you which you are looking at.
Watch what large players are paying up for, live.
WHAT IT MEANS
The flow blotter streams the real options prints — the large, aggressive trades that move first — at full depth, each stamped with its source and age. No summary, no smoothing: the actual tape.
HOW IT HELPS YOU DECIDE
Positioning shows up in the options tape before it shows up in price. You watch the crowd form instead of chasing it after the candle has already printed.
“The tools assumed you either had a desk already or did not deserve one. So I built the one I wanted, and I trade it myself. Members get the same desk I run, including the days it tells me there is no side.”
