SmartFlow

Net Options Flow Accumulation

FLOW ANALYTICS

See the big picture behind options positioning — not just single trades, but the trend.

NOFA tracks the cumulative sum of net options flow over time, revealing whether institutions are steadily building bullish or bearish positions. While individual flow spikes can be noise, accumulation shows persistent conviction — helping you stay on the right side of the move.

Dark Pools

FLOW ANALYTICS

Spot where large block trades are printing — these levels become real support and resistance.

The majority of U.S. equities volume now trades off-exchange — so dark pool prints are where institutional capital is quietly accumulating or distributing, out of sight of the public tape. Those levels stick: prints below price tend to hold as support, prints above tend to cap rallies as resistance.

MomoFlow

FLOW ANALYTICS

See when discretionary traders are chasing — and when they're strong enough to break out.

MomoFlow tracks the flow of human, discretionary traders — from small retail up to hedge fund desks. When MomoFlow and FastFlow push hard in the same direction, it usually signals that discretionary money has overextended and a reversal is near. But when MomoFlow runs unexpectedly strong, it can overrun the market makers and stampede price into a real breakout. Reading both cases is the edge.

FastFlow

FLOW ANALYTICS

The fast, paper-handed money that amplifies moves — then bails.

FastFlow tracks the short-horizon algorithmic traders that pile into momentum and retrace just as quickly. They exaggerate moves on the way in, but rarely stick around to defend them. Read alongside MomoFlow, FastFlow strengthens the reversal case — when both are stretched in the same direction, the move is usually running on borrowed time.

02 / 04 DEALER HEDGING 5 TOOLS

Decode the gamma exposure that forces dealers to buy or sell to stay hedged. These flows create the price magnets and intraday levels that actually matter.

Gravity HP

DEALER HEDGING

The price magnet dealers hedge around — price gets pulled back here.

Gravity HP calculates the hedge point where dealer exposure is most concentrated. Price gravitates to this level, making it a high-probability target for mean-reversion trades.

Call / Put HP

DEALER HEDGING

The intraday gamma levels dealers are forced to defend.

Call HP and Put HP track where gamma exposure is building against dealers in real time. The lines move on the chart throughout the day — defining the intraday support and resistance zones where price actually reacts.

Skew

DEALER HEDGING

See whether options traders are hedging fear or chasing greed.

Skew measures the imbalance between put and call demand, revealing whether the market is positioned for protection or speculation. It's backed by a deep body of peer-reviewed academic research showing persistent predictive edge on forward returns.

MM Skew

DEALER HEDGING

A glitch in the matrix — subtle shifts in dealer positioning that leak their hand.

MM Skew tracks small, deliberate changes in market maker positioning in real time. Dealers don't want to signal weakness, so the moves are usually quiet — but those quiet shifts still tell you which side they're leaning, and where they're likely to lean into the tape.

Short Exempt

SHORT SQUEEZE

A high-signal tell that market makers are short in size — and under pressure.

Short Exempt orders are marked when a market maker shorts without a locate — almost always to hedge existing exposure. Clusters of these prints reveal where dealers are short and under real pressure. When they get squeezed out of those shorts, price typically runs higher.
