OptionFlow AI Flow Assistant

The AI Flow Assistant lets you ask natural-language questions about options flow and get instant, institutional-level analysis. Use it to surface high-value flow, ratios, and unusual activity without manually scanning filters.

What the AI Flow Assistant Does​

The assistant analyzes real-time and historical options flow data and answers questions in plain language. It can:

  • Filter flow by premium, size, ticker, and expiration
  • Compute call/put ratios and sentiment
  • Identify unusual options activity
  • Summarize flow by time period or symbol

Example Queries​

High-Value Flow​

  • "Show me today's $1M+ options flow"
  • "What are the largest options trades in the last hour?"
  • "List all trades over $500K premium today"

Ratios and Sentiment​

  • "What is the call/put ratio for NVDA today?"
  • "Show me bullish vs. bearish flow for SPX"
  • "What is the sentiment breakdown for TSLA this week?"

Unusual Activity​

  • "Top unusual options activity right now?"
  • "Which tickers have the most unusual flow today?"
  • "Show me stocks with volume significantly above open interest"

Ticker-Specific​

  • "What options flow is there for AAPL?"
  • "Show me all NVDA calls over $100K today"
  • "Flow for SPX 0DTE in the last 30 minutes"

How to Use It Effectively​

1. Be Specific​

  • Good: "Show me NVDA call flow over $250K in the last 2 hours"
  • Vague: "Show me some flow"

2. Combine with Time Frames​

  • "Today", "this week", "last hour", "pre-market" help narrow results
  • For day trading, focus on "today" or "last hour"

3. Use for Screening​

  • Ask for high-value or unusual flow first
  • Then apply your manual filters (e.g. price, size, expiration) on the results

4. Cross-Check with Manual Analysis​

  • AI answers are a starting point, not a substitute for your process
  • Confirm with price action, Dealer Edge, and Algo Edge before trading

Combining AI Insights with Manual Analysis​

Workflow Example​

  1. AI: "Show me today's $1M+ options flow"
  2. Review: Note tickers and strikes with the largest premium
  3. Manual: Open Option Flow, apply your filters, look for clusters on those tickers
  4. Confirm: Check Dealer Edge direction and price action
  5. Execute: Enter only when your full checklist is satisfied

When AI Helps Most​

  • Scanning many symbols quickly
  • Getting call/put ratios without manual calculation
  • Finding unusual activity you might have missed
  • Summarizing flow for a specific ticker or time window

When to Rely on Manual Filters​

  • Fine-tuning by premium, size, and expiration
  • Verifying execution (at ask vs. bid)
  • Checking strike clustering and repeat alerts
  • Building and maintaining your watchlist

Best Practices​

  1. Use AI for discovery: Let it surface candidates, then validate manually
  2. Iterate on queries: If the first answer is too broad, add constraints (ticker, size, time)
  3. Stay consistent: Use similar query patterns so you can compare results over time
  4. Do not trade on AI alone: Always confirm with your full trading checklist
