Question 1

What is Sharpnel Trading?

Accepted Answer

Sharpnel Trading is a native desktop trading terminal whose defining feature is GEX dealer-gamma walls drawn on the same chart as the DOM ladder, footprint, and tape. It also combines TPO / Market Profile, a real-time DOM surface / depth heatmap, time & sales with reconstructed tape, a full options surface (chain with per-strike + aggregate Greeks, multi-leg payoff analyzer, vol surface, vol cone, term structure, put/call ratio), a macro board, and an on-device voice co-pilot — for futures, stocks, crypto, indices, and forex. Real-time, full-depth order flow on the major futures is included with the Pro subscription; you still pay your own broker/exchange market-data fees. Click-to-trade fires simulated paper orders today, with live broker routing on the roadmap. Sharpnel is a native desktop terminal for Windows, with macOS in development.

Question 2

What does the Sharpnel options workspace include?

Accepted Answer

Sharpnel's options surface ships the screens pros run on a professional desk, in one $125/mo Pro subscription: the full options chain with per-strike and aggregate (portfolio) Greeks, a Greeks slide for spot-shock P&L, a multi-leg payoff analyzer (strategy builder), the vol surface (IV heatmap) plus a 3D vol surface, a vol cone (realized-vol percentile), the volatility term structure (VIX curve), the put/call ratio, and the OPEX / expiration calendar. One subscription replaces the multi-product analytics stack a typical options desk assembles.

Question 3

What makes Sharpnel different for orderflow traders?

Accepted Answer

Sharpnel draws GEX dealer-gamma walls on the same chart as the order flow — the deep DOM depth ladder, footprint in five modes (delta, profile, heatmap, range, volume), TPO / Market Profile, the DOM surface / depth heatmap, and the reconstructed tape — in one native desktop workspace, so dealer levels sit on the flow you are already reading instead of in a separate dashboard. Add the full options surface and a macro board around your levels and it is a single $125/mo subscription instead of a stitched-together $300–500/mo stack.

Question 4

How does market data work with Sharpnel?

Accepted Answer

Real-time, full-depth order flow on the major futures is included with the Pro subscription — Sharpnel licenses that upstream data on its side and surfaces only computed analytics (orderflow signals, footprint imbalance, profile value areas, Greeks, vol surfaces), so there is no separate analytics-data invoice from Sharpnel. You still pay your own broker/exchange market-data fees. The Computed-Output model is the same legal frame established analytics services use. Click-to-trade fires simulated paper orders today; live broker routing through your connected account is on the roadmap. The Explorer (free) tier lets you evaluate the terminal on 15-minute-delayed data before subscribing.

Question 5

Which platforms does Sharpnel run on?

Accepted Answer

Sharpnel is a native desktop terminal for Windows, with macOS in development. The Explorer (free) tier lets you evaluate the terminal on 15-minute-delayed data before subscribing.

Question 6

How much does Sharpnel Trading cost?

Accepted Answer

Sharpnel Trading has two self-serve tiers: Explorer (free, 15-minute delayed data, no credit card, no time limit) and Pro ($125/mo or $1,125/yr — $94/mo billed annually, real-time data + every Pro feature unlocked). Real-time, full-depth order flow on the major futures is included with Pro; you still pay your own broker/exchange data fees, and click-to-trade is simulated paper today with live broker routing on the roadmap. Start with the free Explorer tier and upgrade when you need more.

Question 7

Can I build custom indicators and studies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The native Sharpnel desktop terminal ships a frozen C-ABI study SDK: write a study in C++, compile it to a standalone DLL against a single header, and it loads as a first-class study beside the built-ins (SMA, EMA, RSI, Delta). You get full native speed, direct access to every bar and order-flow series (open/high/low/close/volume, buy and sell volume, delta), typed inputs with a generated settings dialog, and up to 16 plotted subgraphs. The host owns all memory and crash-isolates a faulting study for the session, so a bad build never takes the terminal down. The ABI is versioned and frozen, so a study you compile keeps loading across terminal updates. See the guide at /docs/custom-studies.

Question 8

What are custom studies?

Accepted Answer

Custom studies are native C++ studies for the Sharpnel desktop terminal. You compile a standalone DLL against one frozen header — no Qt, no STL, and no Sharpnel internals cross the boundary, just plain-data structs and function pointers. A study declares typed inputs (int, double, bool, enum, color, price source), reads the host-owned bar and order-flow series, and writes subgraphs, levels, and markers through a host-owned sink. The host crash-isolates a faulting study for the session, and the ABI is versioned and frozen so studies keep loading across updates. See the SDK guide at /docs/custom-studies.
