Learn how to read institutional options flow, use filters and scores, and identify trades with structural edge.
What Flowseeker is, how to read the overview bar and every column in the live feed, how to filter down to the prints that matter, and how to go deeper on any trade.
A wayfinding guide to Flowseeker's three pages — Live Feed, Flow Scanner, and Flow Tracker — covering the features that aren't obvious until someone points them out, and how the pages work together as a single flow-reading workflow.
An advanced workflow for investigating any print using the chart modal — what each of the five views (Contract Flow, Underlying Vol, Underlying $, Net Premium, Strike Distribution) actually tells you, the order to use them in, and a step-by-step investigation checklist that turns a tape print into a confirmed or rejected trade hypothesis.
How Flowseeker's Flow Highlighting feature works, and the analytical reasoning behind it: a deep refresher on the relationship between Size, Volume, and Open Interest, why Volume > OI mathematically proves new positioning, why Size > OI signals an institution opening in size, and how to configure the colors and per-tab strategy to make the live feed surface the prints worth investigating.
How the flow subgraph on Atlas actually works — what the bars are showing (premium, not volume), what every filter in the popover does, why the most-asked question ("what flow settings do you use?") is the wrong question, and the right way to use the lenses: rotate through them for confluence, then anchor whatever survives to the GEX/VEX nodes on the same chart.
What a dark pool print actually is (and the myth that ruins most people's read of it): off-exchange equity blocks carry no side and no direction, so a big print is never "buying." How to read the prints honestly across both surfaces — the Dark Feed tape in Flowseeker and the dark pool level overlay on Atlas — and how to combine the levels with dealer positioning for confluence.
