Options Flow Validation & Filtering API

A SaaS/API that ingests noisy retail options flow data and applies automated 'confirmation gates' (e.g., 10:15 AM price action holds, volume/OI anomalies). It filters out the noise and only alerts traders when the market actually confirms the institutional flow.

Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • options flow signals are noisy at retail-visible level
  • by the time the trade hits public feed smart money has taken position
  • the overnight flow signal is noise until the market confirms it at open
  • Retail-visible flow is noisy and often late, so I’m not treating raw premium or “big print appeared” as the edge by itself.
