# Tactiq

> Tactiq reads order flow, positioning, liquidity and structure across markets (BTC, ETH and gold today) and says, in plain words, what the market is doing now and what history measured. It describes; it does not forecast and it does not trade for you.

Key facts:
- Tactiq is a market-intelligence workstation: charts, order flow, positioning, liquidity, rule-based trade ideas and alerts across markets (BTC, ETH and gold today).
- Instruments: Bitcoin (BTCUSDT, perpetual and spot); Ether (ETHUSDT, perpetual and spot); Gold (XAUUSDT, perpetual).
- Market data comes from Binance public data. Tactiq is not affiliated with or endorsed by Binance.
- It shows information only. It does not place orders, hold funds or need exchange keys. It is not financial advice.
- It marks what is estimated, stale or missing, and it says when a tool was measured and found not to predict price.
- Plans: Starter $49, Pro $99, Elite $149 a month (USD); yearly billing costs ten months (two months free). Every plan covers every market. During early access every account gets every feature free, with no card.

## Documentation
### Start here
- [What Tactiq is](https://tactiq.pro/docs/what-tactiq-is.md): Tactiq is a market workstation (BTC, ETH and gold today): it collects public data, calculates what it means and shows it in one place. It informs; it does not trade.
- [Getting started](https://tactiq.pro/docs/getting-started.md): Create an account, pick an instrument and timeframe, and learn the pages: Overview, Chart, Signals, Learning, Positioning, Macro, Alerts, Journal, Settings and System.

### Reading the market
- [The chart, layer by layer](https://tactiq.pro/docs/chart-layers.md): What a first visit shows, how to read the chart in four steps, and the question each layer answers. Every layer can be shown or hidden.
- [Heavy aggression zones](https://tactiq.pro/docs/heavy-aggression.md): Heavy aggression zones mark prices where one side of the market took an unusually large amount of size within seconds, and how price responded two minutes later.
- [Iceberg zones](https://tactiq.pro/docs/iceberg-zones.md): Iceberg zones mark prices where a resting buyer or seller absorbed more than the order book ever showed: hidden size, estimated.
- [Flow zones](https://tactiq.pro/docs/flow-zones.md): Flow zones mark stacks of same-side footprint imbalances inside one candle: where executed aggression piled up on one side.
- [Liquidity heatmap](https://tactiq.pro/docs/liquidity-heatmap.md): The liquidity heatmap shows resting order-book liquidity over time near price: where size sat, was pulled or came back.
- [Liquidation heatmap (estimated)](https://tactiq.pro/docs/liquidation-heatmap.md): The liquidation heatmap is an estimate from a model of where leveraged positions may be liquidated. It is labelled as an estimate everywhere it appears.
- [The Tactiq Flag](https://tactiq.pro/docs/tactiq-flag.md): The Tactiq Flag reads every closed bar six ways and combines the lanes into one plain state per timeframe. It describes the market; it is not a forecast.
- [Supporting layers](https://tactiq.pro/docs/supporting-layers.md): Levels, volume profile, auction marks, order blocks, VWAP, the footprint and big trades: where the auction did business, with a picture of each.
- [Panes below the chart](https://tactiq.pro/docs/panes.md): The panes below the chart: delta, open interest, funding and basis, and what each says about aggression and positioning.

### Options gamma
- [Options gamma in 2 minutes](https://tactiq.pro/docs/options-gamma.md): Option dealers hedge: long gamma calms moves, short gamma speeds them. The two layers to start with on BTC and ETH, a beginner routine and the honest limits.
- [Gamma envelopes](https://tactiq.pro/docs/gamma-envelopes.md): Three smoothed lines from 24 h of options volume × gamma: zero gamma (its tag says which side is calm), the +γ wall that slows price and the −γ wall that speeds it.
- [Big option flows](https://tactiq.pro/docs/big-option-flows.md): The Deribit option trades with the largest premium, at their strike: diamonds calls, squares puts, teal bought, magenta sold. Opening or closing is unknown.

### Options gamma: advanced (off by default)
- [Gamma levels, profiles and zones](https://tactiq.pro/docs/gamma-levels-profiles.md): Off by default: the options and hedging profiles, gamma levels and walls, expected-move bands, pin and acceleration zones and the gamma heatmap.
- [Gamma through time](https://tactiq.pro/docs/gamma-through-time.md): Off by default: dynamic walls, the expected move through time and dealer pressure, drawn on the price chart.
- [Options panes](https://tactiq.pro/docs/options-panes.md): Off by default: the dealer sentiment strip and the net gamma, options flow, options delta and options volume panes, and how to read each.

### Trading ideas
- [Strategies: Direction, Area, Trigger](https://tactiq.pro/docs/strategies.md): A Tactiq strategy is a fixed rule with three questions in order: Direction, Area and Trigger. All three must say yes before a signal appears.
- [Signals: reading a trade idea](https://tactiq.pro/docs/signals.md): A signal is a trade idea from a strategy, with an example entry, stop and targets. It is not an order. How to read one, and how past ideas ended.
- [The analyst](https://tactiq.pro/docs/analyst.md): Before an idea is announced, two models review it. They judge what the rules found, never invent a trade or a price, and never place an order.
- [The self-learning loop](https://tactiq.pro/docs/learning-loop.md): Every day Tactiq reviews closed trades, writes lessons for the analyst and scores each lesson. You stay in control: any lesson can be paused, edited or removed.
- [How a trade idea is built, step by step](https://tactiq.pro/docs/trade-workflow.md): How a trade idea is built, step by step: context, location, trigger, risk, targets, management and review, and which Tactiq tool answers each step.

### The desk
- [The Overview](https://tactiq.pro/docs/overview.md): The Overview compresses the market into one page: the Tactiq Flag on every timeframe, the verdict, evidence on both sides and the key levels.
- [Macro](https://tactiq.pro/docs/macro.md): Macro shows what the rest of the world is doing and what is scheduled: global markets, the dollar, dominance and the economic calendar. Context only.
- [Settings](https://tactiq.pro/docs/settings.md): Settings belong to your account and are versioned: workspace, indicator parameters and alerts. Restore an earlier version at any time.
- [Alerts and Telegram](https://tactiq.pro/docs/alerts.md): Alerts and Telegram: what Tactiq notices, how to connect the Telegram bot, how to pause alerts and how to choose which ones you get.

### Trust
- [Data health and honesty](https://tactiq.pro/docs/data-health.md): Every data stream shows Live, Delayed, Stale or Disconnected, and Tactiq marks what is estimated, missing or late, so old data never looks current.
- [Glossary](https://tactiq.pro/docs/glossary.md): Plain definitions of the terms Tactiq uses: absorption, ATR, burst, CVD, dealer, delta, funding, gamma, imbalance, POC, value area and more.
- [Disclaimer](https://tactiq.pro/docs/disclaimer.md): Tactiq shows market information for education and analysis only. It is not financial advice. Trading is risky and you can lose money.
