Getting Started

Accessing the Platform

Skewbot runs in your browser as a web application. No installation is required. Navigate to the platform URL and log in with your credentials.

Once logged in, you will see a single empty pane with a control bar at the top. From here you select your layout, tickers, and views.

Selecting a Ticker

Each pane has a ticker dropdown in its control bar. Select from the available instruments:

Index options: NDX, SPX
ETF options: SPY, QQQ
Single names: AAPL, NVDA, MSFT, TSLA, META

Changing the ticker immediately reloads the pane with live data for that instrument.

Selecting a View

Next to the ticker selector is the view selector. Pick the analytics type you want to display:

Fixed Delta Vols
Tilt
Convexity
Curve
Term Structure
Depth

Each view is described in detail in its own section of this documentation.

Choosing a Layout

Skewbot supports up to four simultaneous panes. Use the layout selector to tile panes side by side or in a grid. Each pane is fully independent — different tickers, different views, different lookback periods.

Available layouts:

Single pane
Two panes (horizontal or vertical split)
Three panes (various arrangements)
Four-pane grid

Setting the Lookback

The lookback slider controls how much historical data is shown on the chart. Options range from 15 minutes to 7 hours. This applies per pane — one pane can show 15 minutes of a fast-moving session while another shows the full day.

Tip

Start with a 1–2 hour lookback to get context on the session, then zoom in to 15–30 minutes when watching for short-term changes.
