Frequently Asked Questions

What is options flow?
Options flow refers to the aggregate stream of options trades executed in the market. By tracking this "flow," traders can see where large institutions and "smart money" are placing their bets.
How do active traders use options flow?
Active traders use options flow to identify unusual activity, gauge market sentiment, and find potential trade setups before they become obvious in the stock price.
What is unusual options activity?
Unusual options activity occurs when there is a significant spike in volume or premium that is far outside the normal range for a specific ticker, often suggesting someone has high conviction in a move.
What is 0DTE options flow?
0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options flow tracks trades that expire on the same day they are opened. This is often used for high-leverage speculation and can drive significant intra-day volatility.
How does Fintel identify unusual options trades?
Fintel uses a proprietary scoring algorithm that compares every trade against historical norms for volume, premium, and open interest to flag the most statistically significant activity.
Can I view market-wide and ticker-specific options flow?
Yes, Fintel provides both a market-wide "firehose" of all options trades and dedicated dashboards for individual tickers to help you drill down into specific opportunities.
Options trading involves significant risk and is not suitable for all investors. Fintel provides data and research tools for informational purposes only, not personalized investment advice.
