Moontower

Overview

Moontower is an AI-powered Volatility Intelligence platform built for professional options market participants. Unlike traditional market data terminals that deliver price, fundamentals, and news tape (Bloomberg) or sell-side research and management commentary (AlphaSense), Moontower focuses exclusively on how the options market is pricing action. The platform provides a comprehensive, cross-sectional view of the entire options market — implied volatility surfaces across every listed equity, ETF, FX pair, commodity, and crypto asset — integrated directly into existing trading workflows.

The platform is organized around six functional surfaces rather than static charts. The Vol Surfaces & Term Structure module covers implied surfaces, earnings volatility history, calendar regimes, dispersion baskets, skew, term structure, and volatility risk premia (VRP). The Vol Scanner & Earnings module identifies dislocations across 500+ tickers in seconds, sorting by IV rank, percentile, skew Z-score, and term-structure slope, with earnings IV history back to 2018 and re-trigger alerts. Dealer Positioning & Flow delivers derived signals including gamma exposure (GEX) by strike, vanna and charm projections, unusual flow, and large prints that reveal what market makers may be forced to do. Portfolios & Watchlists aggregates a book's options exposure with real-time net Greeks (Δ, Γ, Θ, ν), realized vol, and stress testing, with position uploads and OMS connectors. Automations & Reports schedules any chart, portfolio, or metric for weekly delivery as branded PDFs or live dashboards, with compliance-friendly audit trails.

The flagship Moontower Agent is an AI copilot built on a proprietary AI agent framework, trained on fifteen years of professional vol-trading expertise and thousands of volatility-related articles. It reasons in Greeks — earnings setups, dispersion, and dealer positioning are native concepts. Every agent response cites underlying data at the sentence level, auditable to the tick, grounded in market-implied data, Moontower research materials, or a firm's own research. Customer prompts and documents are never used to train LLMs, and audit logs are available for Enterprise accounts. Guided workflows — Income (covered calls and cash-secured puts), Defensive (defined-downside exposure), and Collar (floors, caps, and zero-cost collars) — take users from market context to a priced trade structure across discover, screen, and evaluate stages.

Moontower serves equity long/short funds, wealth managers and RIAs, prop and multi-strategy desks, crypto desks and market makers, bank trading desks, and individual traders. Pricing scales from an Individual plan at $99/month (billed annually) to Team seats at $499/seat/month and custom Enterprise agreements with SAML SSO, dedicated solutions engineering, and optional custom agent training on a firm's research notes and playbook. The platform is trusted by employees at some of the world's largest financial enterprises, including Morgan Stanley, The Wall Street Journal, National Bank of Canada, Jump, and FalconX.
