FAQ
Before you get Volwick.
Everything you need to know.
Data, markets, access and how it works. Straight answers, no marketing.
Where does Volwick’s data come from, and how fresh is it?+
From CBOE-licensed market data distribution. Price and prints arrive tick by tick, with a latency of a few hundred milliseconds. Walls and maps update from a snapshot of the options book every 5 minutes.
What does Dark Pool mean in Volwick?+
Off-exchange executions in SPY and QQQ reported to the consolidated tape, plotted on the price action with price, size and notional. Dark pools don’t exist in futures: there, Volwick reads exchange executions through a separate layer.
Do I need to understand options, dealer positioning and order flow to use Volwick?+
No. Volwick is built to make professional data readable without making you piece it together from multiple sources. If you want to go deeper, every layer keeps the detail you need for a more technical read.
Does Volwick give trading signals?+
No. Volwick is a market intelligence terminal, not a signal service. Market Intelligence organizes structure, positioning, regime and levels into a concise read of the session; the trading decision is always yours.
Which markets can I analyze with Volwick?+
Eleven instruments: the SPX and VIX indices, ES, MES, NQ, RTY and VX futures, the SPY and QQQ ETFs, gold and Bitcoin.
Is every Volwick tool available on every market?+
No. Each market has a different structure and different data sources. Volwick shows the capabilities available for the selected instrument, while keeping the same experience across the terminal.
Does Volwick replace my trading platform?+
No. Volwick doesn’t place orders or manage capital: it’s the terminal you use to read the market, alongside the platform you trade on.
Can I use Volwick on Mac and Windows?+
Yes. Volwick runs in the browser, with nothing to install, on both Mac and Windows.
How much does Volwick cost, and what does access include?+
$89 a month. One plan, full access: no Basic or Pro tiers, you get every feature from day one.
Can I cancel my subscription whenever I want?+
Yes, from your account, at any time.
