Run the multi-session flow persistence recipe
A paid Cookbook that scores how one-sided a name’s bullish- vs bearish-classified premium was across several completed sessions. Rolls, hedges, and dealer flow can print the same streak. Not a one-session gainer confirmation.

The job
See whether a signed premium mix repeated, without treating a streak as someone buying every day.
What this recipe computes
- Daily signed mix: bullish-classified premium minus bearish-classified premium.
- Signed tilt = (bullish days − bearish days) ÷ sessions.
- Persistence = |tilt| × ln(1 + |net premium| in millions), ranked separately for bullish mix and bearish mix.
What it does not claim
- A persistent mix is not directional conviction, opening status, or a named trader.
- It is not the one-session Top Gainers confirmation score.
- Trade-grain DEX is unsigned and is not the persistence number.
How to read it
Step 1
Run persistence
Open Multi-Session Flow Persistence Tracker in Cookbooks. Lengthen lookback if you want a slower streak.
Step 2
Read tilt, then size
Tilt near ±1 with tiny net premium is a quiet one-sided tape. Persistence scales by size so loud names surface.
Step 3
Check OI if the mix matters
Pre-Move Positioning still asks whether size stayed on the book. This recipe only repeats the mix.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a high persistence score a trend-follow signal?
- No. It means the classified mix kept one sign. Rolls and hedges can do that. The recipe says so on the page.
- How is this different from Top Gainers — Flow Confirmation?
- That recipe scores one session’s gainers. This one ignores the spot move and only asks whether signed premium mixed the same way across several sessions.

- Option flowOption flow is the time-and-sales stream of options prints: contract, size, premium, and inferred aggressor side.
- Delta exposure (DEX)DEX estimates share-equivalent directional weight of an options trade, roughly delta × size (with the usual multiplier).
- Unusual options activity (UOA)UOA flags contracts or underlyings trading far above recent norms in volume, size, or premium. It is an attention screen, not a directional signal.
Related personas
- Options Flow for Swing TradersSwing traders care about positioning that can last more than a day: unusual flow, OI confirmation, and walls for multi-day levels.
- Options Flow for Day TradersDay traders need speed with a filter: see what is printing now, rank what is unusual, then validate structure before risking capital. TradingFlow is built for that same-session loop.
