Unusual Trades

From Raw Flow to Actionable Intelligence

Millions of options trades hit the tape every day. Here's how we turn that firehose into a clean signal.

Ingest Every Trade

Millions of options transactions stream in real-time from every US exchange plus dark pools. We see the full picture — not a sample.

Coverage: CBOE, NYSE Arca, NASDAQ PHLX, ISE, MIAX, dark pools, and more

Filter Hedges & Noise

Our AI classifies each trade: is it a hedge, a roll, market-maker inventory, or a genuine directional bet? Only conviction trades make the cut.

~85% of large trades are hedges or adjustments — we filter them out

Classify & Score

Remaining trades are classified as sweeps or blocks, tagged with sentiment (bullish/bearish), and scored by conviction strength.

Sweeps across 3+ exchanges signal extreme urgency
