Pre - Market Intelligence Edge

Know What Matters —
And Why

Edge prepares the market you trade before the session starts. It brings together the overnight story, relevant news, scheduled and one-off risks, positioning and key prices, then interprets them as one coherent view of the day ahead.

Market Intelligence Edge market preparation screen

Overnight Summary

Catch up without playing catch-up.

See what happened while you were away, what drove the market and what remains unresolved.

Action Plan

Know what matters next.

See the catalysts, risks and conditions that could reinforce the current picture, or change it completely.

Curated News

Relevant news, already analysed.

Stories are filtered for the market you trade and assessed for sentiment and impact, so you can see whether important news supports the current narrative, contradicts it or is simply noise.

The Rules Engine

Markets Don’t Move
in Isolation

A weather report can change crop expectations. Oil can change ethanol economics, which can change demand for corn.

The Jigsaw Rules Engine maps thousands of economic relationships and applies them to the information flowing into Pre - Market Intelligence.

It doesn’t just show what happened. It explains why it matters, which markets it affects and what could change next.

Pre - Market Intelligence Alpha

Same Rules Engine.
More Intelligence.

Alpha starts with everything Edge already knows, then feeds more market information into the same interpretation engine.

That gives you a deeper view of the forces behind the market and the structural areas that could matter during the session.

Geopolitical Risk

Some News Lasts Minutes.
Some Stories Last Months.

Brexit. COVID. Wars. Sanctions. Hormuz.

These aren’t isolated headlines. They are continuing themes that can keep producing new developments, and new market reactions, long after the original story began.

Alpha keeps the underlying theme in view, so each new development is interpreted in the context of the story already unfolding.

Example: Hormuz
Tension builds Military activity
→
Talks Negotiations
→
Threats Rhetoric escalates
→
Shipping risk Disruption risk
→
De-escalation Diplomatic progress
→
New development Fresh headlines
One continuing theme. Many separate headlines.

A Different Approach to GEX

Focus on What Matters Today

Most GEX models blend multiple expiries together. Alpha focuses on the options exposure reaching resolution today, the positions creating the most immediate hedging pressure for the current session.

Focus on today’s exposure

Netting Can Hide What Matters

Two large option positions at the same strike can net to zero, but there are still two significant concentrations in the market.

That’s why Alpha also identifies Put Walls and Call Walls, rather than relying on the net number alone.

Strike 7000
1,000,000 Put contracts Put Wall
Net 0
1,000,000 Call contracts Call Wall
Two huge concentrations. One apparently quiet net number.
Areas to watch, not predictions of where price must turn.

Why Jigsaw Is Better
Pre-Market Intelligence Edge
$50 / month $500 / year
The essential daily futures preparation workflow: Overnight Summary, Action Plan, curated news analysed for sentiment and impact, scheduled and one-off risks, positioning and key prices, all interpreted for the market you trade.
Pre-Market Intelligence Alpha
$200 / month $2,000 / year
Everything in Edge, plus deeper market context, positioning and market structure, including GEX, Gamma Flip, Put/Call Walls, Key Levels and the optional 21-market overview, all inside the same daily preparation workflow.
Bloomberg Terminal
$2,665 / month 2-year minimum
(~$64,000)
Bloomberg has enormous data, news and analytics, but it does not do the morning preparation for you. Building the same view means moving through multiple screens, gathering and interpreting the information yourself and keeping it updated as the open approaches. Across 21 futures markets, that can take hours. Bloomberg gives you the information. MI prepares it.
SpotGamma Alpha / Insto
$299–$1,999 / month
A specialist US equity/index-options platform with strong SPX/SPY analysis. Futures traders can use its S&P options levels around ES, but its workflow is centred on equity/index options rather than native options across the wider futures complex. MI Alpha combines futures-options structure with the complete preparation process around it.
MenthorQ Premium
~$129 / month
A strong specialist in options analytics with native futures-options gamma coverage across multiple asset classes. Jigsaw solves a broader job: Alpha puts GEX and options structure inside a complete futures morning-preparation workflow alongside curated news, scheduled risk, cross-market context, COT, flows and an interpreted Action Plan.
Audio Squawks LiveSquawk / Newsquawk
$350–$399 / month
Squawks are designed for breaking information as it happens during the trading day. Useful for reacting quickly, but they provide information, not interpretation, and they do not turn overnight developments into a structured pre-market game plan.
Stock Scanners Hammerstone / Benzinga Pro
$197–$329 / month
Useful for finding activity and opportunities in equities, but not designed as a native futures preparation system. MI combines futures-specific news, economics, positioning, cross-market relationships, structural context and a clear pre-session framework in one place.

FAQs

What is the difference between Pre-Market Intelligence Edge and Pre-Market Intelligence Alpha?

Both products cover the full set of 21 major futures instruments.

Pre-Market Intelligence Edge delivers the daily briefing: Overnight Summary, Action Plan, Related News, Risk Calendar, Scheduled Events, Key Levels and Flows & Positioning.

Pre-Market Intelligence Alpha includes everything in Edge, then adds the deeper structural view: the cross-market Overview Dashboard, sentiment, geopolitical risk, price history, COT charts and the full options suite including Gamma Exposure, Gamma Flip, GEX by Strike, Put/Call Walls and 12-Week Options Positioning.

Edge gives you the daily market picture. Alpha adds the deeper positioning, options and market-structure layers behind it.

Is this data real-time, and will it tell me exactly when to buy or sell?

No. This is a pre-session preparation workflow, not an intraday execution platform or algorithmic alert system.

The Action Plan helps frame the coming session, important levels, risks and conditions to watch. It does not call trades for you. Execution and timing remain entirely your decision.

Is Pre-Market Intelligence Based on Freely Available Data?

COT data is publicly available from the CME in text format. The other information — including news, prices and options data — comes from commercial feeds.

Jigsaw then curates, analyses and maps that information to the markets it affects.

Is this options data just a generic proxy calculated from stock indices?

No. Jigsaw calculates futures GEX from native options on futures.

Crude Oil GEX comes from crude-oil futures options, Gold from gold futures options, Corn from corn futures options, and so on. We do not substitute an ETF or stock-index options market simply because the instrument is a future.

That means Alpha can apply this structural analysis across energy, metals, rates, currencies, grains, equity indices and other futures markets.
