Contract-level analysis in the Rank workbench
Contract-level analysis is the Contracts tab of the Rank workbench. It ranks specific option contracts with intraday flow, retained snapshot dates, OI/volume context, exact-contract inspection, and Option Trades handoff.
Contract-level analysis in TradingFlow is the Contracts tab of the Rank workbench. It answers the question: which specific contracts are seeing the most action right now? The current route is /app/rank/contracts; older links such as /app/contract-rank redirect here.

What Contract-level analysis shows
Contract-level analysis mixes intraday delayed flow with prior-session open interest (OI) and daily volume context. By keeping the horizon hybrid, it prevents misreading the surface as purely live or entirely T+1.
- Option flow analysis (Contract-level) — See top contracts ranked by metrics like premium, vol/OI ratio, OI change, ask/bid printed size, latest trade context, and net DEX.
- Server-driven ranking — The server owns ranking, filtering, pagination, and window anchoring, guaranteeing that you're looking at the true top contracts matching your criteria, not just sorted leftovers.
- Contract drawer — Click a row to open the drawer: Intraday focuses on short-interval flow buckets with trade-price overlay in tooltips; Historical (day-over-day) charts OI with ΔOI markers, bullish/bearish DEX bars, ask/bid printed size, and session-level context in the table. Drawer shortcuts preserve exact contract identity for follow-up.
- Access boundary — Default list preview and public inspection affordances are part of the browse surface for lower tiers; changing rank mode, applying narrowing filters, column-header sorts, premium drawer details, CSV export, and similar list-control mutations are premium-gated. Pagination (
page/pageSize) is a read cursor within the default unpaid query—not treated as a premium gate by itself.
Finding What Matters
You can use powerful narrowing filters to zero in on exactly what you want:
- Filter by symbol, put/call, expiry scope, or exact expiration date.
- Use post-aggregation floors like minPremium and minVolOi to find contracts with meaningful activity size.
- The rank list uses server-owned sorting metrics such as
premium,volOiRatio,netDex, and related contract-flow context so the most important action naturally floats to the top.

Exact-Contract Handoff
Contract-level analysis is discovery-first. But ranking without evidence isn't actionable. The default table layout makes contract identity scannable instantly. Once you spot a contract of interest, you can smoothly transition into the Option Trades view.
The handoff preserves all your exact-contract filters (symbol, expiration date, strike, put/call). This means you land precisely on the evidence view without manually rebuilding your search state.
See it in action
In the app, use Rank → Contracts, or go to /app/rank/contracts. Legacy /app/contract-rank links redirect to this tab. Use narrowing filters for discovery, open the drawer for intraday vs historical context, and use Open Option Trades when you want trade-level evidence—the handoff preserves exact-contract filter fields.
