What you actually get

Three surfaces, one scoring pipeline. No noise.

One scoring pipeline. Three surfaces — the live firehose, the high-conviction signals, and the institutional whales.

Real-Time Tape

Every print, every US exchange — already scored

AI agents and ML models scoring every options print on the live tape AGENT MODEL AI SCORE 96 CALL PUT · bar = $ premium

  • Composite algorithm + agentic-AI noise gate
  • Conviction 0–100 with bullish / bearish / mixed direction
Smart Money Monitoring

The whales themselves — institutional, not retail

AI agents and ML models surfacing the institutional iceberg under the price AGENT MODEL WHALE
  • Whale-trade thresholds + ML unusual scoring

Why this is different

Free flow scanners count contracts. We score every print.

Four things the free flow scanner in your broker will never do.

9 algorithms — one composite score

Sweeps, blocks, IV spikes, OI surges, spreads, sentiment divergence — rolled into a single 0–100 Unusual Score.

ML baselines from 15+ years

Every print is graded against a decade and a half of flow — not last week's rolling average.

Agent gate kills the noise

A reviewer agent drops look-alikes and big retail premium so only the alerts worth reading reach you.

Sub-100 ms, every print

Print → score → ActionCable → terminal → SMS / Slack / webhook. Faster than any chat room.

Optionomics vs free flow scanners & Discord pumps

A volume scanner is not unusual activity detection.

Counting contracts is easy. Knowing which prints matter is the work.

FAQ

Live Tape & Whales — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we get asked about the live tape, unusual activity scoring, and smart-money monitoring.

Every options print across all US exchanges streams into the same tape, scored in real time. You can filter the tape by symbol, watchlist, premium size, sweep vs block, call vs put, time to expiration, moneyness, and more — and every print already has its Unusual Score attached.

A trade is flagged as unusual when it deviates significantly from expected behavior across nine dimensions — volume vs 5-day average, premium size, moneyness, time to expiration, order aggressiveness, OI surge, sweep / block character, IV spike, and sentiment divergence. Each dimension contributes to a composite Unusual Score from 0 to 100.

The Unusual Score is a weighted composite of all nine detection algorithms, scaled 0–100 and adapted per underlying for current volatility. Scores 75–89 indicate strong unusual activity; 90–100 represent extremely unusual prints that often precede significant price movement.

Detection runs in real time as prints clear. Print-to-Unusual Score is typically under 100 ms, then broadcast over ActionCable so the terminal updates instantly and your configured alert channels (email, SMS, Slack, Discord, webhook) fire immediately.

Every algorithm is validated against 15+ years of historical options data. The composite score requires multiple algorithms to align before flagging high-score trades, and an AI-agent reviewer suppresses look-alike prints, so the alerts you actually see are the ones worth reading.

Yes — Gamma plan and above. Filter by minimum Unusual Score, symbol or watchlist, call/put, premium size, sweep vs block, and even by which detection algorithm triggered. Combine with smart-money or AI-Signal criteria for highly targeted alerts.

Yes — Gamma plan and above. Replay historical UOA prints to see how they correlated with subsequent price action, tune your score thresholds, and validate strategies before trading them live.

The live tape and unusual activity scoring are visible on the free plan. Custom alerts, advanced filters, and historical UOA replay unlock at the Gamma plan and above. Smart Money monitoring with critical-tier whale alerts and the full AI stack are included from the Theta plan.
