This session's most unusual prints for their ticker, ranked by score: how unusual (size against the ticker's normal, aggression, opening), not a forecast. Everything else is on Options Flow.
A $50K+ print is a signal only when it opens a position (volume above open interest), its premium is in the top 10% of that ticker's own $50K+ prints over the previous sessions, and it came as a sweep, as repeated hitting of the same contract, or as a big block (one print of $500K+ in the ticker's top 1%, at the ask or at the bid, on a contract that traded mostly on that side). Legs of multi-leg orders and deep in-the-money near-dated options (price at least 25% of the strike) are left out. The score (0–100) then ranks the signals: premium and contracts against the ticker's own history, repeated hitting, share swept or in big blocks, how one-sided the contract traded (at the ask or at the bid), opening share and, for stock options, a near expiry; a signal needs at least 28. Premium alone never makes a signal. Block signals also show the underlying price at the print when it is stored: Deep ITM when most of the price is intrinsic value, and an approximate share equivalent. Then a contract is shown only when at least 90% of its $50K+ premium today opened positions, and not when it is more than 2% in the money at its key print (underlying price from the nearest stored snapshot; kept when none is stored). Contracts of the same ticker, expiry and direction (calls bought and puts sold are bullish, puts bought and calls sold bearish) fold into one card: it totals their premium and prints, lists their strikes and leads with the best-scoring contract, its score and key print; open it to see every print of all of them. Two more ways in: a burst (3+ one-sided prints of the same contract within 30 minutes, worth at least 10× the ticker's usual big print and most of the contract's premium today) is a signal even when it does not open positions and is not held to the 90% rule; and for index options, the day's contracts reaching 25% of the contract's open interest at the open count as opening. The score measures how unusual a trade is for its ticker, not whether it is right: it does not predict direction or profit.
