Big Tick Energy is a newsletter about options, volatility, strange market episodes, and the useful things hiding inside them.

01 / THE IDEA

A newsletter for people who enjoy looking under the hood.

Sometimes that means unpacking what happened in the market last week. Sometimes it means digging up an old episode, testing an options idea, or comparing two things that probably have no business being compared.

The point is to make the mechanics clear, show the evidence beautifully, and have some fun before the spreadsheet starts asking for overtime.

The treatment

Clear explanations and thoughtful visuals, without sanding off everything interesting.
