Options Monitor

Real-time options order flow, for the desk

Raw prints in. Institutional color out.

Options Monitor stitches related legs into a single package and reads each one back as a trader's sentence — likely buyer or seller, the structure, and opening pressure against open interest — on a live tape that prints sub-second from the exchange.

Options Monitor Sentence View: related legs stitched into packages and read back as trader sentences

1 — Sentence View. Related legs stitched into packages and read back in plain English.

Capabilities

What the desk gets

Four things, in order of what a desk asks for first: color it can read, the names it cares about, the archive behind it, and the signal on top.

Natural-language
trade color
The product turns raw prints into institutional-style color. Related legs are stitched into one package — exchange-marked multi-leg trades, a strategy-inference engine, and in-view pairing of floor legs — then read back as a trader's sentence: the inferred structure, the likely buyer or seller, and opening pressure measured against open interest. BAC: Likely seller 5.0k Dec 19 34/45 Call Spread @ $0.24 (20% IV, Ref $33.49), OI Covers.
Watchlists
& portfolios
Custom symbol watchlists (portfolios) with per-list display defaults and color rules, plus built-in sector symbol groups. Tag prints by hand to your own client or customer labels and get performance analytics on every label you keep — Customer Analytics.
Deep lookups
Search the accepted-print archive by underlying, sector, or a saved portfolio; date range, minimum size, side, and put/call; plus free text. Pull the largest trades and likely-opening flow for any window — the same enrichment as the live tape.
Flow intelligence
Unusual-activity detection per name — statistical scoring against each symbol's own baseline, dormant names waking up, and brand-new structures (the Unusual tab). Likely-opening detection while the flow is still actionable, and post-print markout analytics that show how a trade followed through.
Live tape
enrichment
Every qualifying print enriched on arrival — aggressor side classified against the prevailing quote, premium, theo value, implied volatility and IV change, spot, delta, and vega/theta exposure in dollars — pushed to every seat sub-second from the exchange.
Workspaces
Tabbed, saved, pop-out views for multi-monitor desks, each with its own per-seat display profile, column filters, colors, and sorting.

Method

Signal, not noise

Display thresholds keep the tape at institutional size. Side is classified against the quote at print time, and each row carries the context a trader would otherwise assemble by hand — exchange, conditions, open interest, dollar Greeks.

The result is a tape a desk can actually read, from the opening bell to the close.
