The 4 Cards At The Top
Total Premium
Total dollars flowing through unusual contracts today. Bigger number = more action.
Call Premium
Money spent on CALLS (bets that prices go UP). Green = bullish energy.
Put Premium
Money spent on PUTS (bets that prices go DOWN, or hedges). Red = caution / downside bets.
Call / Put Ratio
Above 1 = traders are mostly bullish. Below 1 = mostly bearish. A quick mood gauge.
The Flow Tape Columns
Symbol
The stock or ETF the bet is on (e.g. SPY, TSLA, NVDA).
Side
CALL = bet on UP · PUT = bet on DOWN.
Strike
The price level the bet is targeting.
Expiry / DTE
Deadline of the bet. DTE = Days To Expiry. 0d means it expires today (very short-term).
Premium
How much money is on this single contract. Higher = stronger conviction.
Volume
How many contracts traded today on this strike.
Vol / OI
Today's volume vs. existing open contracts. Above 2× = unusual, above 5× = very unusual — likely a fresh, aggressive new position.
IV
Implied Volatility — how much movement the market expects. Higher IV = more expected swings.
Δ (Delta)
Rough probability the bet pays off. 0.50 means roughly 50/50. Closer to 1.00 = already winning.
Bias
Quick read of the trade's direction: BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL.
🔥 Flame Icon
Sweep order — a large trade split across multiple exchanges to fill fast. Marks the most notable unusual prints.
The Filter Buttons
ALL
Every unusual print on the tape.
