How TickerBuff reads it
Options flow highlights contracts trading with unusual size, premium, volume, or execution behavior. TickerBuff evaluates that activity beside price, implied volatility, open interest, and nearby catalysts instead of treating an isolated print as a prediction.
Inputs that matter
- Premium concentration by strike and expiry
- Call and put execution near bid or ask
- Directional delta and vega exposure
- Persistence across multiple prints and sessions
What the signal cannot prove
A large trade can hedge an existing position, close exposure, or be one leg of a spread. Direction is an evidence-weighted interpretation, not verified trader intent.
