How to read it

From report to evidence

  1. 01

    Run the tape recipe

    Open Daily Option Flow in Cookbooks for the latest completed session.

  2. 02

    Note timing and size

    Ask when premium hit and which tickets dominated. Size without context is still noise.

  3. 03

    Inspect on Option Trades

    Handoff a contract or symbol into the live or historical tape when you need side, DTE, and Vol/OI.

Method and limitations

A paid Cookbook report of the session tape: premium timing, which names absorbed it, and the largest tickets. Use it to audit the day, then open Option Trades for the live feed. Official app template: Daily Option Flow — The Tape.

What the report computes

  • Where session option premium went, by name and time.
  • The single biggest tickets in that session.
  • Composition of the tape as a recap, not a streaming squawk.

What it does not claim

  • It is not Unusual Whales–style Discord/audio alerts.
  • A large ticket is not automatically an opening whale or a directional bet.
  • It does not reconstruct multi-leg spreads into one strategy object.

The recipe reads OptionTrade premium, time, and size directly — the same tape ontology as Option Trades — then packages it as a session report instead of a scrolling feed.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the live Option Trades feed?
No. Option Trades is the workbench tape. This recipe is a session report of where premium went. The CTA opens the Cookbook, not /app/option-trades.
Can I use it as trade alerts?
No. It recaps a session. It does not push Power Alerts or claim a win rate on copied prints.
