Premium Options Flow Intelligence

"Measure conviction, not confusion."
The Problem
Most flow services count every call as bullish and every put as bearish. That's noise — covered calls get flagged as bullish, hedges as bearish, and one fat block swamps the whole tape. You end up reacting to trades institutions never meant as directional bets.
Our Solution — Pure Intent Filtering
We keep only the trades where institutions paid up to get positioned now:
✅ What we count
Aggressor call buys (lifted the offer) → unambiguous bullish intent
Aggressor put buys (lifted the offer) → unambiguous bearish intent
Sweeps only → urgent, multi-exchange institutional positioning
❌ What we strip out
Option selling (covered calls, yield writing — not directional)
Block trades (repositioning and hedges, not conviction)
Bid/mid fills (unclear intent)
Proprietary Conviction Scoring
Every qualifying trade runs through our multi-factor model — weighing institutional footprint, conviction, and risk-adjusted impact into one score. High score = real positioning with real conviction.
Bottom line: everyone else measures what happened. We measure what institutions intended to happen.
