What is the options flow feed?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Unusual Whales Flow Feed displays all options flow across multiple exchanges. If an order fills on an option contract, it will show up in this feed whether it involves 10,000 contracts, or just a single order. On the left side of the header for the Feed are the Filters, Settings, and My Trades (this is where you can save the flow you want to track.

On the filters tab, you can narrow down what contracts appear in your Flow Feed, and are able to toggle basic settings like what side of the bid and ask the trade occurred on, the option type (calls, puts), all the way down to fine tuning the premium, size, volume, percentage out of the money, and all the greeks.

The Unusual Whales options flow feed provides real time data on all completed options trades across all US exchanges.

The information is presented in an easily readable table that can be filtered and customized to the user's liking.

By tracking every transaction Unusual Whales is able to provide a variety of supplemental views and feeds that are all tailored to help retail investors identify potential opportunities in the markets.

As we continue to develop the website we'll look to add a tool-tip to each feed describing its use case.
