Make your job optional · a skill, a score, a second income
Your trading desk. One login. Try every tool free for 7 days.
Stop jumping between charts, news, spreadsheets and five different tools. Hou5eMoney puts the pieces in one place. See live charts. Get a 1-to-10 score on any setup. Turn an idea into a trade plan with the entry, the stop and the profit target already written. Track your decisions with paper money at real prices. Then see how your discipline actually held up.
You bring the decision. The desk does the heavy lifting. No guru required, no complicated setup. Paper money first; real money only if you ever connect a live account. The whole desk for less than a dollar a day, the price other sites charge for one of these pieces.
- Chart smarter. Trigger, Pulse, Flow, Grid and Tide on live candles, six timeframes, the option chain, time & sales and the odds market beside it, on any symbol you type.
- Get a second set of eyes. The desk scores any chart 1 to 10, names the direction, ticks six boxes before it says “take it”, and writes shares, a spread and a single with the stops and targets worked out.
- Start with the plan already written. Every morning a short list: the structure, strikes, entry zone, stop and profit target on every card. Tap Trade it and the ticket is filled in, stop and take-profit resting.
- Practice with real prices, not real money. A paper account grades your discipline on six checks. The desk’s bot takes every idea beside you with its stop and target and shows every result, losses included.
- Get your weekly reality check. The journal writes your week: where you followed the plan, where you did not, one rule for next week.
- Know what is happening behind the ticker. Congress, executives, the biggest funds and other large holders, read from their own filings, with the desk’s next entry beside each name.

Market Overview
The market's vital signs — the big indexes (S&P, Nasdaq, Dow), the "fear gauge" (VIX), interest rates, the dollar, oil and gold. Why it matters: this is the weather you're trading in. A spiking VIX or jumping rates is a storm warning — don't trade the same size you would on a calm day.
My Watchlist
Your personal list. Tap the ☆ star next to any ticker anywhere on this page — movers, setups, squeeze names, congress trades — and it lands here with its live read. Stored in your browser only; it never leaves your device.
This Week
The Week Ahead
Every market-moving event and watchlist earnings date for the month, on the day it lands. Today's square is outlined. Why it matters: these are the days that gap stocks. Past ones show what already happened — earnings carry a quick ✓ beat / = met / ✗ miss — and upcoming ones are your heads-up not to get caught holding a spread through one. Tap any event on the calendar (or any legend badge) for a plain-English explainer of what it is and why it moves the market.
Just Happened — what the prints said
On Deck — what to watch
Earnings Week
A report gaps a stock straight through your strikes, and the indicators cannot see a calendar. This is every watchlist name reporting in the next seven days, with the size of a typical day for it so you can judge what a two- or three-day gap means for anything you hold.
News Tape
The latest market headlines, newest first. Why it matters: it's the context for why things are moving. Read it to stay informed — but don't trade off a headline alone.
Tutorials
Reading The Boards
Everything in this group — Vertical Spreads, Options Flow, Naked Trades, Condors, Share Setups and Small-Cap Movers — is an educational example for paper (simulated) trading only — never a trade call or a recommendation to trade real money. Trading is a form of gambling; never risk what you can't afford to lose.
The HM5 Universe: our 142-name watchlist, distilled from the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 — the most liquid, most heavily-optioned names in the market. Deep chains, tight spreads, real volume: if it's worth trading, it's in here, and every board in this group speaks from this universe. Every idea on every board is checked against the HM5 Tradedesk before it ever reaches this page — nothing here is a command to trade, only somewhere to start your own research. Here's what each board actually is:
Vertical Spreads
The HM5 Tradedesk's own directional option ideas — a suggested two-leg spread (credit or debit), strikes, DTE and premium for every name that clears trend, order-flow and volume.
Options Flow
Real option-market activity — volume vs open interest, dollar premium, walls — across the same universe. Independent of the Tradedesk's own triggers, and higher risk as a result.
Naked Trades
One contract, one leg, $500 or less — a plain long call or long put for accounts too small to take a spread. Reads every directional board on this page and keeps only the names where a cheap, tight-market contract can pay a quick, small gain on a move the stock makes in about a day.
Condors
Neutral, defined-risk credit ideas for when nothing is trending — iron condors and iron butterflies on names that have gone quiet. Excluded automatically if the name is already on Vertical Spreads or Options Flow.
Share Setups
The same engine, translated for share traders — an entry, stop and target on names where price and order-flow agree.
Small-Cap Movers
Today's liquid small/mid-cap gainers — gappers, not chart setups. No trade plan attached. We do track how far each one runs from its first-seen price, purely as a read.
An idea lands here when the stock makes the move the desk called. The take-profit on each ticket is what the HM5 desk recommends; your profit target is yours to set. A Hou5e Win is the desk being right about the move: it is not a statement about any one person’s trade. A name keeps its place on the list once it is there, and it can print again later as a fresh idea, so check the entry price shown against today’s.
Defending A Trade
Every trade on this page can go wrong. This is the short version of what to do when one does — when to fix it, when to take the loss, and what the fix actually costs you. The rule that matters most: never remove a long leg to "free up" a short one. That turns a defined-risk spread into an unlimited-risk position, and it is the single fastest way to lose an account. Read the full lesson in the Playbook →
- Is the reason I entered still true? If the trend flipped or the Exit Dot fired, you don't have a trade to defend — you have a trade to close.
- Would I open this position today, at this price? If no, adjusting is just a slower exit with extra commissions.
- Does the fix add risk? Rolling out in time, widening, or adding size all raise your max loss. A defense that increases what you can lose isn't a defense.
Bull Put / Bear Call Spread
- Close it. The default. Take the loss at 1.5–2× the credit you collected and redeploy. Most professional premium sellers do only this.
- Roll out in time — same strikes, later expiry, for a net credit. Only if you still believe the direction. You are extending duration, not reducing risk.
- Roll the untested side in — turns a vertical into an iron condor. Collects extra credit and lowers your breakeven, but adds risk on the other side. Only worth it while the tested side is still OTM.
Bull Call / Bear Put Spread
- Close it. You paid a premium for a directional view. The view was wrong, so the trade is over. There is nothing structurally to repair.
- Sell a further spread to make a butterfly — takes in credit, cuts your cost basis, caps profit at the middle strike. Reduces loss, doesn't fix direction.
- Do nothing is legitimate. Max loss is already capped and known. If it's small relative to your account, letting it expire costs nothing extra.
Iron Condor / Butterfly
- Close the tested side, keep the safe one. Cheapest fix. You're left with a vertical in the direction price is already going.
- Roll the untested side closer — brings in more credit to offset the tested side. Works only once, and it narrows your win zone.
- Close the whole thing. If price is through your short strike with under 21 DTE, gamma is against you and the range thesis is dead.
Cash-Secured Put
- Take the assignment. If you'd own the shares at that price, this isn't a loss — it's Stage 2 of the wheel, exactly as designed.
- Roll out for a credit — same strike, later expiry. Delays assignment and pays you to wait. Only if you still want the shares.
- Close for a loss if the reason you liked the name is gone. Never accept assignment on a stock you no longer want.
Covered Call
- Let them go. You sold at a price you chose. That's a win, even if the stock kept running. Redeploy the cash into a new put.
- Roll up and out for a credit — higher strike, later expiry. Keeps the shares and raises your sale price. Only ever do this for a net credit.
- Buy it back if the thesis changed and you now want to hold the shares outright. Costs money, so have a reason.
Long / Short Shares
- Take the stop. The stop was the plan. Shares have no expiry to save you and no structure to repair.
- Sell a covered call against it if you're long and willing to hold — collects premium while you wait, caps your upside.
- Never move a stop lower. Moving a stop is not a defense, it's a decision to lose more.
- Closing is a defense. It's the one that always works, costs the least, and needs no skill.
- Adjust to reduce risk, never to avoid a loss. If the fix raises your max loss, it isn't a fix.
- Only ever adjust for a credit. Paying to stay in a loser is the tell that you've stopped trading and started hoping.
- Never break a spread apart. Removing the long leg of a defined-risk trade is how accounts get wiped out in a single session.
Desk Confluence
The highest-conviction names on the entire tape. Every board on the page that carries a direction — Vertical Spreads, Options Flow, Analyst upgrades/downgrades, Insider buys/sells, Congress trades, Squeeze Watch, Gamma Squeeze, Fresh Whale Moves, Big Money Bets (13F), Futures Bias, Small-Cap Movers and Market Movers — is checked against the others, and a name only makes this list when 2 or more agree on the same direction without knowing about each other. Social Buzz adds to a name's count when retail is piling into it in that same direction. (Crypto is kept out; Share Setups and Condors already read the Vertical Spreads scan.) Still not a command to trade: run it through the Skip-This-Spread checklist on the Reading The Boards tab before you act. How to read this board →

Power Trades
The President’s family businesses, the most active traders in Congress, the biggest funds and foreign governments: what they are buying and selling in US markets. Every row is copied from a public filing or a named published report, with the link. We add no conclusions and no motives. A range is shown as a range; where nothing is filed, the row says so. A filing is a fact about a trade, not a reason for one. Paper trading and education only.

Congress Trades
Recent stock trades disclosed by U.S. Senators under the STOCK Act, pulled straight from the official Senate disclosure system (House filings are scanned PDFs — coming later). Disclosures lag the actual trade by up to 45 days and amounts are ranges, so treat this as context, not a trigger — but it's worth knowing what the people writing the rules are buying and selling.

Insider Trades
Recent notable insider transactions — company officers, directors and big holders buying or selling their own stock on the open market (SEC Form 4). Open-market buys are the ones that carry more weight (insiders sell for many reasons, but they buy for one). Only trades over $100k shown, last 90 days.

Big Money Bets
The largest call and put option positions disclosed by famous managers — Burry, Ackman, Druckenmiller, Tepper and the rest — from their latest quarterly filings. A giant put stack (think Burry) is a bet against a name; a giant call stack is high-conviction upside. ⚠️ These are quarterly snapshots that post up to ~45 days after quarter-end, show U.S.-listed longs and options only (no direct shorts or swaps), and positions may have changed since — context, not a trigger. For the faster-moving side, see Fresh Whale Moves below. How to read this board →

Fresh Whale Moves
The fast-moving side of what these same managers are doing — open-market buys, sells, and new or increased 5%+ stakes, each stamped with the date it posted. Unlike Big Money Bets, these land within a few days of the actual move, and new ones show up through the week. Amounts are what was disclosed and can lag the trade by a day or two — context, not a trigger. How to read this board →
Squeeze Watch
Names with the highest short interest and days-to-cover — the raw fuel for a short squeeze. ⚠️ Short interest is exchange-reported only twice a month with a delay, so this is a lagged watchlist, not a live borrow-rate feed. High short % of float + high days-to-cover = the most squeeze-prone. How to read this board →
Gamma Squeeze
The options gamma structure on the most heavily-optioned names: the call wall (heaviest call open interest — an upside magnet where dealers are short gamma) and the put wall (support). Heavy call OI stacked above price with a high call/put ratio = gamma-squeeze fuel. Options OI updates once a day. How to read this board →

HM5 Watchlist Heat Map
Every name in the HM5 Universe, grouped into its sector — colored green for up, red for down, and each tile sized by how big today's move is (the bigger the swing, the bigger the box). Why it matters: you see at a glance which sectors are leading or lagging and which names are driving them — a one-glance map of where the money's flowing. A read, never a reason on its own.
52-Week Extremes
Names hitting their highest or lowest price in a full year. Why it matters: extremes are where trends run out of gas and reverse — exactly the spots the HM5 Spread System hunts for. Each row now shows today's move, the HVR (where its volatility sits in its own 52-week range — high = credit side, low = debit side) and its usual daily swing, so you know how fast the name actually moves before you touch it. Tap the ☆ star on any row to send it to your watchlist.

HM5 Credit / Debit List
The full HM5 Universe — all 142 names — ranked by volatility — HVR, where each name's volatility sits in its own 52-week range (our read on IV Rank). Credit side = rich premium, favor selling spreads (bull put / bear call). Debit side = cheap premium, favor buying spreads (bull call / bear put). Why it matters: the side picks your structure before you even look at direction. Each row shows HV (annualized volatility — how fast the name moves), its usual one-day swing (~±%/day), today's move, and a bar showing where the HVR sits from 0–100.

Crypto Desk
A live read on the whole coin market. Why it matters: crypto trades 24/7 and often moves before stocks do, so it's an early gut-check on risk appetite. In the bubble map, bigger bubble = bigger 24-hour move — green up, red down. In the gainers/losers lists, the number on the left is the coin's market-cap rank (#1 = biggest), MC is its total size, and vol (% of cap) is turnover — how much of the coin's entire value traded in 24 hours. A big % move on tiny turnover is noise; on heavy turnover it's real interest. Small-cap coins swing hardest in both directions. How to read this board →
