Option Trades: Real-Time Option Flow Analysis

Written by

The Option Trades app streams real-time options flow with 6 market KPI cards, 13-dimension filters, watchlist, persistent preferences, and Live Flow WebSocket mode — so you can track blocks and unusual activity as it happens.

Option Trades in TradingFlow is the real-time option flow surface: it answers what options are trading right now, and where is the flow concentrated? You get 6 live market KPI cards, aggregated or raw trade data, a full-featured filter system with 13 numeric dimensions, symbol search, watchlist, and columns for premium, sentiment, delta exposure (DEX), and delta impact (DEI)—all from one screen.

Option Trades app at /app/option-trades

Market KPI cards

Six summary cards sit above the table and update with every data fetch — they give you the market-level picture before you touch any filters.

CardWhat it shows
Call Flow %Call premium as a share of total premium for the visible dataset
Put Flow %Put premium share
Bullish Flow %Premium from bullish trades (Call Buys + Put Sells)
Bearish Flow %Premium from bearish trades (Put Buys + Call Sells)
Smart Money %Share from aggregated (simultaneous block) trades — often institutional
OTM Moneyness %Out-of-the-money premium share, indicating speculative positioning

Each card shows both the percentage and the dollar amount so you always have absolute size for context.

Same surface with the six KPI cards directly above the tape:

What Option Trades shows

The app uses real-time (or near real-time) trade data. Choose between aggregated and raw mode to either scan for block-sized flow or drill into exact Time & Sales.

  • Aggregated mode — Trades for the same option symbol in the same second are rolled into one row. Ideal for spotting block trades and unusual flow; columns include size, premium, sentiment, DEX, DEI.
  • Raw mode — Unaggregated Time & Sales for exact trade-level detail when you need it.
  • Symbol filters and watchlist — Focus on specific underlyings or use your watchlist to track a set of names.
  • Sortable columns — Reorder by premium, size, sentiment, DEX, DEI, or time. Changing sort (outside Live Mode) is a premium-gated interaction on the live app.

Filters and filter modal

Click Filters in the toolbar to open a comprehensive filter panel. Every filter type is organized into sections:

Date and time

  • Date range — Pick any day, month, quarter, or year range from a flexible date selector (operators: is, before, after, between). Only trading dates with available data are selectable.
  • Time range — Narrow to a specific time window within the trading day.

Asset type, side, and trade attributes

  • Asset type — Stock, ETF, or Index.
  • Type (Call/Put) — Show only calls, only puts, or both.
  • Side — Above Ask / Ask / Mid / Bid / Below Bid — filter by where the trade printed relative to the spread.
  • Moneyness — ITM, ATM, or OTM.
  • Sentiment — Bullish, Bearish, Neutral.
  • Trade type — Block (single trade) or Sweep (two or more simultaneous exchange prints).

Numeric ranges

All 13 dimensions support both min and max bounds:

FilterWhat it limits
Days to ExpiryFilter by DTE range
Strike Price
Underlying PriceSpot price at trade time
PremiumTotal premium paid
Option PricePer-contract price
SizeNumber of contracts
Open InterestOI at the time of the trade
DeltaOption delta
Implied VolatilityIV at the trade
DEIDelta Impact (per-share delta × size)
DEXDelta Exposure (dollar delta)
Abs DEIAbsolute value of DEI
Abs DEXAbsolute value of DEX

Boolean toggles

  • Recent Earnings only — Show only trades occurring near a recent earnings event.
  • Opening Position only — Filter to trades that appear to be opening new positions (size > OI proxy).
  • Watchlist only — Restrict the table to your saved watchlist symbols.

Applied filter summary

Active filters are shown as inline chips below the toolbar so you always know what's applied without reopening the panel.


Persistent preferences

For paid subscribers, Option Trades behaves like a professional desktop workstation: one Option Trades Preference document holds your saved view (filter state plus column layout). That view hydrates before the first server fetch where applicable, with a local backup path if preferences are slow to arrive.

Guests and signed-in unpaid users do not load that premium saved view by default. They start from the canonical public preview unless the URL carries allowed overrides—so you are not silently running someone else’s saved screener on a free account.

When you have unsaved changes, a Save button appears in the toolbar. Leaving the page with unsaved changes can trigger a browser confirmation (paid flows).


Live Flow mode

Activate Live Flow to stream incoming option trades in real time via WebSocket. The table updates continuously as new trades arrive.

Rules governing Live Flow to keep the feed coherent:

  • Sort by Time (Descending) required — Before enabling, the table must be sorted by time descending. New trades appear at the top without random jumps. If sorted differently, the app offers a one-click fix to apply the correct sort and start streaming.
  • Controls lock while live — Filters, pagination, and sort controls are disabled during streaming to prevent UI drift.
  • Market hours — Live Flow is only active during US market hours. Attempting to start outside market hours shows an informational guard.
  • Exit to adjust — Pause the stream any time to update filters or sorting, then re-enable.

Live Flow is a subscription feature.

The flow grid is the surface Live Flow appends into—while streaming, sort stays locked to time descending:

Option Trades — flow table (context for Live Flow)


You can share a URL that encodes your current symbol and filter state. When a recipient opens the link, the app tries to initialize with those filters—tier rules still apply: unpaid users may fall back to preview when the link encodes non-preview control state, per the access contract in the product.


Browser notifications

Enable the notifications toggle in the Settings menu (⚙️ icon in the toolbar) to receive browser push notifications when trades matching your current filters arrive during Live Flow. Requires browser notification permission.


Where to find it

In TradingFlow, open Option Trades in the main nav or go directly to /app/option-trades. Use aggregated mode for flow scanning and blocks; switch to raw when you need tick-level detail. Combine with Symbol-level analysis on /app/market-rank for flow-ranked symbols, Option Chain Analysis on /app/option-chain-analysis for gamma and cross-sectional vol, and Contract-level analysis on /app/contract-rank when you need ranked contracts with an exact-contract handoff back into Option Trades.

  • 原始模式 — 未聚合的逐笔成交,提供毫秒级时间戳的精确交易细节。
  • 标的筛选与自选股 — 聚焦特定标的或使用自选股追踪一组名称。
  • 可排序列 — 按权利金、规模、情绪、DEX、DEI 或时间重新排序。在非直播模式下更改排序在线上产品中为需权益的操作。

筛选器与筛选弹窗

点击工具栏中的筛选器,打开功能全面的筛选面板,各筛选类型按板块整理。

  • 仅看自选股 — 将表格限制为你保存的自选股标的。

已应用筛选摘要

活跃筛选条件以内联标签形式显示在工具栏下方,无需重新打开面板即可一目了然。


持久化偏好设置

付费订阅用户:期权交易使用单例「期权交易偏好」保存你的视图(筛选状态 + 列布局)。在适用场景下,该视图会在首次服务端拉取之前完成水合,并可有本地备份路径以防偏好加载偏慢。

访客与已登录但未付费用户默认不会套用上述付费保存视图,而是从规范公开预览起步(除非 URL 携带允许的覆盖参数)——避免免费账号默默跑他人保存的扫描仪配置。

有未保存更改时,工具栏中会出现保存按钮;付费流程下离开页面可能触发浏览器确认。


直播流模式

激活直播流,通过 WebSocket 实时流式传输进入的期权交易。表格随新交易到来持续更新。

维持直播流连贯性的规则:

  • 必须按时间降序排序 — 开启前,表格必须按时间降序排列。新交易自然出现在顶部,不会随机跳动。若当前排序不正确,应用提供一键修复并开始流式传输。
  • 活跃期间控件锁定 — 流式传输期间筛选器、分页和排序控件禁用,防止注入新行时 UI 跳动。
  • 市场时间限制 — 直播流仅在美国市场开盘时间内激活。市场外尝试开启会显示提示说明。
  • 随时退出调整 — 随时暂停流式传输以更新筛选器或排序,然后重新启用。

直播流为订阅功能。

直播流写入的仍是这张成交流表——开启流式时排序会锁定为时间降序

期权交易 — 成交流表(直播流语境)


可分享的筛选链接

你可以分享包含当前标的与筛选状态的 URL。接收方打开时应用会尝试按链接初始化——权益规则仍然适用:若链接编码了非预览控制状态,未付费用户可能按产品中的访问约定回退到预览


浏览器通知

在工具栏的设置菜单(⚙️ 图标)中启用通知开关,可在直播流期间当匹配当前筛选条件的交易到来时接收浏览器推送通知。需要浏览器通知权限。


在哪里使用

在 TradingFlow 中,从主导航打开期权交易或直接访问 /app/option-trades。使用聚合模式扫描流量和大单;需要逐笔细节时切换到原始模式。可与 /app/market-rank 上的 标的级分析/app/option-chain-analysis 上的 期权链分析(Gamma 与截面波动率),以及 /app/contract-rank 上的 合约级分析(带精确合约跳回期权交易)组合使用。
