Premium Options Flow Intelligence

Pure Intent Options Flow Methodology
"Measure conviction, not confusion" - Filter out ambiguous trades to capture only pure directional intent from institutional players.
The Problem
Traditional services count all call volume as "bullish" and all put volume as "bearish" - creating massive false signals.
Our Solution
Only capture trades where institutions paid a premium to establish positions immediately:
✅ PURE INTENT SIGNALS
Calls bought ≥ ask price = Unambiguous bullish intent
Puts bought ≥ ask price = Unambiguous bearish intent
Sweep activity only = Aggressive institutional positioning
❌ FILTERED OUT
Call/put selling (covered calls, yield strategies)
Block trades (repositioning, not directional bets)
Bid/mid transactions (uncertain intent)
Sophisticated Scoring
Each qualifying trade gets analyzed using our proprietary multi-factor scoring algorithm that evaluates institutional patterns, conviction levels, and risk-adjusted impact.
Key Advantages
Eliminates False Signals - No covered call writing counted as bullish
Captures True Conviction - Only includes trades where institutions paid up
Actionable Intelligence - High scores = institutional positioning with conviction
Bottom Line: Instead of measuring what happened, we measure what institutions intended to happen.
The specific weightings, calculations, and algorithmic details of our scoring system are proprietary and represent years of research and backtesting.
