What is the options flow feed?
The Unusual Whales Flow Feed displays data on all options trades across all US exchanges.
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.
You can customize your column ordering, as well as show/hide different data points. Annual subscribers are able to download the options flow.
You can select the expiration date of any contract in any of the various feeds across the site for a detailed breakdown of the contract in question.
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.
You can get examples of how to set up and use your very own filters in this article.
