How Options Flow Works

Options flow measures institutional money positioning — what the smart money is doing with real capital, not what analysts are saying.

Each ticker gets a flow score from -15 to +15 based on 5 signal components:

P/C Volume Ratio (±3)

More calls than puts being traded today = bullish positioning.

P/C OI Ratio (±3)

Accumulated open interest bias. Sustained call OI = longer-term bullish.

IV Skew (±3)

When call IV exceeds put IV, someone is aggressively buying upside.

OTM Call Spike (0 to +3)

Unusual out-of-the-money call volume = betting on a big move up.

OTM Put Spike (0 to -3)

Unusual OTM put volume = hedging or betting on a drop.

Interpretation: >+5 Strongly Bullish | +2 to +5 Bullish | -2 to +2 Neutral | -5 to -2 Bearish | <-5 Strongly Bearish. Scanned twice daily (pre-market + post-close) across ~50 tickers from all paths.
