Short, practical guides to the options flow the app puts in front of you every session: what each figure on a print means, how it is scored, how experienced traders read the tape, and where it misleads. Each guide ends with the screen where you can put it to work.
- What unusual options activity means
What makes an options trade unusual, what the figures on a print mean, and how to read a session of flow without over reading a single trade.
- Reading the Pulse
What each figure on the Pulse screen means, from net premium and the put call ratio to sweep share, top tickers and the whale of the day.
- The put call ratio, weighted by premium
How the put call ratio is computed, why weighting by premium differs from counting contracts, and how to read today's number against its history.
- Sweeps, blocks and where a trade printed
The execution detail on every print explained: sweeps against blocks, above the ask against at the bid, spread position, and what urgency tells you.
- Size versus open interest
Why a trade larger than a contract's open interest is new positioning, how the app flags it, and how to tell opening flow from closing flow.
- Bullish or bearish, how a print's sentiment is inferred
How the app decides a print is bullish, bearish or neutral from option type and execution, where the inference is confident and where it is not.
- The conviction score and whale prints
How the 0 to 100 conviction score is built from premium, open interest, sweeps and execution, what the three tiers mean, and how to use the Whales board.
- 0DTE options flow
What same day expiry options are, why their flow reads differently from everything else on the tape, and how to use the 0DTE chip and screener rule.
- Building an options flow screener that fits your style
How the screener builder's filters work, four screeners worth saving, how saved screeners sync and alert, and how to keep one from drowning you.
- Reading one ticker's flow
How to read a single stock's flow page: its own unusual prints beside the chart, analyst targets, valuation and the FundSpec intel reads.
- Options flow glossary
Plain definitions of the terms on the Options Sentiment Screener tape, from ask and aggressor to whale, in the sense the app uses them.
