Relative value

Market-implied strike ladders - the probability across thresholds for each macro metric (in effect, the market's implied distribution). A family must be monotone: a higher "above" threshold can only be less likely. Any rung priced richer than a lower one is a logical inconsistency, flagged in amber.

12 ladders with an inconsistency right now. For information only - not financial advice.

Implied distribution - CPI inflation, Nov 2026

The featured CPI ladder's strikes turned into a probability histogram: where the market thinks the print lands.
