Our options platform has several proprietary features and we are continually working to add new functionality. Each morning we populate all the contracts, and you can see these top contract changes in OI from the previous day.

When the market opens, our system pushes all the trades that meet our requirements into our flow stream. We also color code all the trades in accordance with the size versus the contract OI. This allows users the ability to quickly identify when a contract is potentially opening interest. We also display if the contracts were traded on the bid or ask. With all of this data, we then populate it in an easy-to-read heat map so you can easily see what strikes and expirations are seeing the most activity and gauge sentiment in the day's flow.  Here, you can easily see where the smart money is flowing!

Our platform issues options alerts for six different types of options activity.  We have further filtered all of the flow down into the most interesting contracts as alerts on the Alerts tab and sent via push notifications on the the platform and our mobile push notifications application. The push notifications app is available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
