Tally
For information-edge options traders

Trade what you know before the market knows it.

Your edge is information. Your enemy is discipline. Tally makes every trade start as a pre-registered thesis, gates entries on measured narrative saturation, and enforces exits by rules you wrote before the money moved.

No card required · the journal is the product, not your P&L.

Yen carry unwind → global risk-off

Disorderly carry-trade unwind inside 90 days forces risk deleveraging; BTC −20% before expiry.

24h cooling-off

Ideas born in adrenaline must survive one night's sleep.

Exits fire on information

Invalidation and saturation — not chart lines, not vibes.

Overrides logged forever

You can break a rule. You can't do it silently.

Judgment writes the thesis. Rules do the rest.

The Chris Camillo playbook — get in while awareness is low, get out when the market catches on — is easy to describe and brutal to execute. Tally turns it into a system with three moving parts.

Pre-registered theses

Every trade begins as a written, falsifiable thesis: mechanism, catalyst window, and the exact observable facts that would kill it. Criteria freeze when the thesis arms — future-you can fire them, never rewrite them.

Narrative Saturation Index

The Camillo edge, measured: news volume, outlet breadth, search and social interest, and what the options market already charges. Enter while the score is quiet. When it screams, that's not a signal to add — it's your take-profit.

Rule-enforced exits

Invalidation fired? Out, today, P&L irrelevant. Saturation triggered? Scale out by rule. Time exit at T−14. Exits are where discretion dies — so they're the first thing the system takes away from you.

01
Thesis

Falsifiable, mechanism-mapped, calendar-anchored

02
Gate

Saturation below entry gate, checklist 100%

03
Express

Best-priced convexity across venues, defined risk

04
Watch

Criteria + saturation monitored continuously

05
Exit

First rule that fires wins. No negotiating

06
Review

Process and outcome graded separately

Why the system took you out is the product

Representative journal entries. One exit saved the thesis from hope; the other harvested it the day the edge stopped being one. Both fired without a human in the loop.

Budget standoff escalates; long-end yields reprice sharply within 60 days.

Criterion #1 fired (continuing resolution passed). Closed same day, −0.6R. P&L irrelevant — the thesis died, so the position did.

New export restriction quietly guts a supplier's key segment; market hasn't read the filing.
