Go Beyond the Trade Feed

Fintel now turns individual options prints into focused, visual analysis so you can see direction, urgency, unusual activity, and expiration concentration without assembling the picture by hand.

Flow Sentiment

Follow the balance of bullish and bearish traded premium as it develops throughout the session.

  • Spot price vs. cumulative net options flow
  • Bullish, bearish, and neutral premium split
  • Bid/ask aggression and leading symbols

Unusual Activity

Surface transactions that stand apart from normal activity, then inspect when and where they appeared.

  • Proprietary unusual-trade scoring
  • Intraday unusual-trade timeline
  • Premium concentration by strike

Expiration & 0DTE Analysis

Separate same-day speculation from longer-dated positioning and compare activity across maturity windows.

  • Real-time directional 0DTE flow
  • Premium distribution by days to expiration
  • Strike and expiration activity heatmap

Start Market-Wide. Drill Down to the Contract.

Move from the broad flow signal to the tickers, strikes, expirations, and individual trades behind it in one research workflow.

See where capital is moving

Scan net market flow, directional premium, top symbols, unusual trades, and 0DTE activity to find areas worth investigating.

Put a ticker under the microscope

Compare flow with spot price, review strike ladders and expiration heatmaps, and trace every chart back to the underlying prints.

Analysis with the context left in

Every view is designed to help you form a question, validate it against multiple signals, and inspect the trades behind the result.

Look for confirmation and divergence
Compare price, net premium, execution aggression, timing, strike, and maturity instead of relying on a single headline number.
Know what the signal measures
Flow reflects traded premium. It does not by itself reveal whether a trade opens or closes a position, or whether it is part of a hedge or spread.

Cut Through the Market Noise

Active traders face noisy markets, fragmented options data, and fast-moving order flow. Fintel organizes the chaos, helping you quickly separate signal from noise.

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.
