Here’s a little thread detailing how I use @unusual_whales to follow the flow ⬇️🐳
First off, I personally use the ‘Super Live Buffet’ membership💰
This gives you access to:
- LIVE options flow feed with advanced tools🌊
- LIVE dark pool feed 🔮
- Premium Non-Delayed Alerts 🚨
- Stock Screener📈
- more 🔥
The LIVE options flow feed has become an invaluable tool in my daily trading. This is what it looks like ⬇️
When the module displays ‘Marketstate’ the rest of the numbers are referencing the market as a whole
Click “Show Charts” to pull up flow charts 🌊📈
Live Flow Filter Settings:
•Premium Range: (50K💰+, usually several tabs open with different minimums. Up to $1M)
•All Emojis ON, except ETFs, leaps, indexes, & Deep ITM
• Next 4-5 expiries
💭 These are #bullish filter settings for finding plays OTM 2-3 weeks out 🐂
You can also search specific tickers for their live flow. Take $XLE I’ve been watching this play very closely so I’ve had a screen dedicated just to it’s flow 💯 that’s how I get to know how whales are feeling all day long.
Take this flow read on $LCID
I start by taking a look at Put/Call ratio on the flow feed + total aggregate flow
Do a quick comparison of daily flow breakdown & historical flow. Is it more #bullish or #bearish than usual?
If there’s #unusual flow, then there’s a play there.
I call this strategy #FireFishing 🔥🎣
• Go to "🔥Hot Chains & Tickers"
• Find a ticker with 3 of the hottest chains 🥵
• Expiries must be within 14d ✅
• At least 1 of the chains has a strike OTM ✅
• See $TSLA in this pic for reference
If the ticker has all of these prerequisites then it is likely that a #Bullish move is expected by the general market.
$TSLA had 3 of the hottest chains in the market all with strikes within 14d. Today they announced that they topped vehicle delivery expectations👀
Oh & I’ll just leave this here 😈🔥
