The Desk Analyst

This screen is a written column: a short note on one name, published once a night, over figures the desk already computed. It is general commentary from Ohey Inc, a publisher, over paper trading and hypothetical figures. It states the desk's view on trend, momentum, volume, key levels and the options read for each name.

At a glance

• Which names get one. Every name on tonight's Trade Cards sheet, plus the model book and the twenty names the scan ranks most strongly, long or short.
• What it covers. Trend and moving averages, momentum, volume, key price levels, and what the options market is pricing for this name.
• What the panes show. One section describes what a reader would see on the desk's own panes for this name tonight. It never says what will happen next.
• Which pane to watch first. The note closes by naming one pane worth opening for this name.
• The check before publishing. Code checks every figure in the note against the desk's own numbers. A note that names a figure the desk did not compute is never published; the name gets the desk's plain computed read instead.
• Free versus paid. A member reads the whole note. A free account reads the first paragraph, with a line saying members read the rest.
• When there is no note. A name can leave tonight's scan between the books and the column running. When that happens, this pane says so plainly.

Key difference. Trade Cards states tonight's signals in short rows, one per name. The Desk Analyst is a longer note on ONE name, written fresh each evening.

Where it fits

The Desk Analyst reads the same nightly figures the Market Scan, the options suite and the Price Chart already show. It computes nothing new. It puts those figures into one written note, in the order a person would want to read them. It names the pane that carries each figure, so a reader can check the note against the desk itself.
