Aside from our normal options flow feed, our dashboard also includes more extended sections to monitor different types of flow. In this case, it would be our specifically filtered Weekly Flow Feed. This feed, similar to the normal options flow feed, updates and relays data in complete real-time and allows you to filter for specific conditions and parameters for a more customized outcome. The data in this feed is derived from our main options flow radar, but instead set aside if the expiration date matches a date from the current calendar week. We understand the need for some investors to pay close attention to options flow that is closer in expiration for various types of purposes, so we made sure to include a specific section within our dashboard for monitoring this flow separately. While Weekly Flow can be used for purposes like tracking movement for active trades and determining short-term predictive analysis, it is also extremely helpful when used to measure current trend strength and assist with trade management.
While the use cases for short-term options flow monitoring are relatively endless, it makes having access to this type of data a necessity to always stay one step ahead of any possible future movement. Tracking flow ( especially short-term ) plays a crucial role in effectively managing positions for taking profits, and stopping out of trades when flow supports the decision.
As stated previously, monitoring options flow ( especially short-term ) is one of the most effective ways to improve your investing capabilities and stay ahead of other investors. While there are countless ways to utilize flow, here are a few ways you can successfully use Weekly Options Flow to your benefit:
If you are in an options trade that is expiring the same week ( for day traders, this is highly likely the case ), you are able to actively monitor the specific contract flow of your active options trade and get an in-depth analysis of the value moving with and against your specific trade. This alone is able to completely enhance the way you monitor your options trade positions and ensure you make clean and clear decisions with managing the trades.
You are able to view all short-term weekly expiration flow for a specific ticker seamlessly, and in a way where you can view the physical value ($) moving into calls or puts for that ticker. This works exceptionally well when gaining confirmation for entering new options positions for certain tickers. Before entering a position, you can easily check the options flow for that specific ticker and see if the flow is matching your trade idea. This is the absolute easiest way to gain confluence and assist with easy decision making
Usually investors have a hard time determining when to secure profits at the top, and when stop out of a trade at the perfect place, but using short-term options flow dramatically assists with this. For example, if you are in a CALL position at the moment and flow has been supporting your direction the entire way, but eventually starts to show a decrease in CALLS and an increase in PUTS, this would be your indication to take profits while the value of CALLS are at the highest. The same goes for knowing when to stop out of a trade. If you just enter into a PUT position based off increasing PUT flow, but you quickly start to see that CALL flow for that ticker starts to grow and gain more value, this would be your indication to stop out while the physical value of the opposing direction is starting to increase. Where other investors would be guessing which direction the current price can go, using flow will allow you to be one of the first investors to realize that a directional change is imminent based on the flows movement.
