Options Flow Scanner
An options flow scanner is a tool that filters and highlights options transactions according to criteria such as size, premium, volume, strike, expiration or execution characteristics.
Why it matters to you
Large options markets generate enormous numbers of transactions. A scanner helps traders narrow the data to activity they consider relevant. The scanner does not determine whether a trade is good. It simply helps identify activity worth investigating.
