Trend Analysis

Powerful graphs make trend analysis fast and easy.

You can quickly see volume and premium trends for options flow and unusual activity over the past two weeks to determine institutional sentiment, or you can view institutional expiry distributions for calls and puts to help you determine your expected trade time frame.

Typically, institutions build a position with longer expirations first and layer in shorter expirations (or the same expiration but days/weeks later) once they become more confident.

So, if you see a lot of long expirations, it likely means institutions are just starting to build a position in a ticker.

Shorter expirations could mean the institutions think a more immediate movement is imminent.
