Options Flow Scanner
Review options-flow alerts in Pineify Market Insights. Filter contracts, inspect premium and available prints, then separate observed activity from directional interpretation. Large trades are a starting point for research, not evidence of future returns.
What You Get
Options-flow alerts
Review provider-selected US options alerts with premium, contract size, expiry and open interest. The active dashboard polls every 60 seconds; it is not a zero-delay feed of every exchange trade.
Filter a bounded result set
Filter by ticker, call or put, premium, days to expiry, sweep or floor flags and other available criteria. The default request is 100 alerts, with an advanced limit up to 200. A narrower result is not proof that no other trades occurred.
Derived sentiment
For calls, more than 60% ask-side premium is labeled bullish and more than 60% bid-side premium bearish. Puts reverse that mapping. Other cases are neutral. These are interpretation rules, not a measured probability or a trader identity.
Refresh and preserve filters
The dashboard stores filter choices in the browser and highlights newly returned rows briefly. Use refresh status and observation times to distinguish a new fetch from a new trade. This workflow does not promise custom sound or push alerts.
Provider alert categories
Inspect labels such as repeated hits, floor trades and sweeps followed by floor trades. These come from provider alert rules. A label alone does not establish a ten-day statistical anomaly or a profitable entry.
Contract-level detail
Expand a row to request recent prints for its exact contract. Available details can include NBBO, trade tags, IV and Greeks from a returned print. Some fields are missing; a displayed sensitivity is not a fill quote or a forecast.
How Options Flow Works
Data Ingestion
Open Market Insights and choose Options Flow. Start with a ticker and expiry window, then set a premium threshold that fits your research question. The default request asks for 100 alerts; it does not impose a $10,000 minimum.
Sentiment Classification
Read the call/put type alongside the ask-side and bid-side premium shares. A call with 70% ask-side premium would receive a bullish label; an otherwise identical put would receive a bearish label. This hypothetical example explains the rule, not a success rate.
Inspect the contract
Expand the alert and compare the contract ID, print time, execution price, NBBO and any available Greeks. Check sweep or multi-leg tags before treating one leg as an independent directional trade. Missing fields remain insufficient evidence.
Cross-Reference with Other Data
Compare the observation with the underlying price and known announcements. Market Tide, dark-pool prints and Congress disclosures have different units and reporting lags; agreement between them does not establish causality or guarantee a profitable trade.
Record the evidence before testing a rule
Save the observation time, filters, returned contract ID and subsequent decision rule. Compare alerts with contemporaneous executable quotes, not a later chart high or low. Include spreads, commissions and the cost of entering after an alert arrives. Split repeated prints and multi-leg positions carefully so one order does not inflate the sample.
The dashboard refreshes every 60 seconds when active. The flow API uses a 30-second cache during its extended-market window and a 10-minute cache outside that window; provider delays can add to this. A refresh timestamp records retrieval, not necessarily exchange execution. The recent-alert window is not a complete historical backtest dataset.
See the data provider documentation for dataset definitions, Pineify MCP inputs and limits for programmatic research, and Market Insights for the dashboard. Product behavior was checked against the current implementation on October 21, 2026.
