API keys let you call Optionomics from your own systems — backtests, dashboards, internal alerts.
Plans & pricing
Optionomics has multiple subscription tiers. The right plan depends on what you actually use the product for.
Subscription management
Optionomics is a paid product. The Subscription page is where you upgrade, downgrade, switch billing periods, update payment methods, or cancel.
Get started
Getting started
Optionomics helps you answer three questions quickly:
For you
For you is your personalized home base. It gives each user one place to collect the tiles they actually use: watchlist movers, triggered alerts, open trades, unusual flow, trade ideas, and personal notes.
Learn / Glossary
The Glossary is a plain-English definition of every term you'll see across Optionomics — Greeks, volatility metrics, flow concepts, AI scores, and platform-specific names.
Onboarding guide
Use these steps to learn the core Optionomics workflow. The goal is to get comfortable moving from broad market context, to one ticker, to a trade decision you can track.
Glossary
The Glossary is the canonical list of every term Optionomics uses — Greeks, volatility metrics, flow concepts, AI scores, and platform features.
Markets
Market Overview
The Market Overview is the top-of-funnel page — one screen showing what the options market is doing across every major lens, today.
Live Options Flow
Live Options Flow streams every options trade as it prints. Use it to watch institutional positioning unfold in real time.
Unusual Options Activity
Unusual Options Activity (UOA) shows the contracts and spreads whose session on the tape is far outside what that contract and that name normally do, read the way the flow scanners read a print: which side, how urgent, how large for the name, whether it opened a position, and which way it leans. The scores say how unusual and how clearly read the day was; they do not say what follows, because nothing on the row does.
Trade Ideas
Trade Ideas is a feed of single-name setups distilled from flow, positioning, statistical patterns, anomalies, and AI signals.
Backtesting
Backtesting replays trade idea models, option strategies, flow signals, and chain-metric rules against historical data so you can test an idea before relying on it.
Workflow
Custom alerts
Alerts watch the live tape for you and ping you (email or in-app) the moment something matches your criteria.
Notifications
Notifications are the per-event records the platform produces when something you've subscribed to happens — a custom alert fires, a trade idea gets posted, a digest sends.
Watchlist
Your watchlist is the personal list of symbols Optionomics treats as "the names you care about". It powers the Today page, email digests, and a number of personalized scores.
Saved Views
A Saved View is a one-click snapshot of the filters, sort, and search you've applied to a list page — Live Options Flow, Unusual Activity, and any other tape-style screen.
Trade Journal
The Trade Journal is a personal log of every trade you take — entries, exits, P&L, and an optional link back to the alert or trade idea that sparked it.
