Column	What it means
Ticker	Underlying symbol — SPY, QQQ, SPX, IWM, VIX, etc.
Expiration	Option expiration date. Nearer dates = short-term directional bets; longer dates = macro hedges or LEAPS.
Strike · Type	Strike price and whether it's a CALL (bullish right to buy) or PUT (bearish right to sell).
Hits ×N	How many separate trades hit this exact contract. Higher = more conviction.
Total Premium	Sum of all premium spent across all hits (contracts × option price × 100). Larger = more skin in the game.
Ref Price	Underlying spot price at time of the first trade, used as context for strike distance.
Sentiment	Inferred from Side Code. More Ask-side hits → BULLISH. More Bid-side hits → BEARISH. Equal → NEUTRAL.
Money	ITM = in the money (intrinsic value), OTM = out of the money (pure premium / speculation), ATM = at the money.
Conviction	0–7 score. See Conviction Score section below.
Flags	⚡ Unusual activity flagged by quantdata.us · ★ Golden Sweep · SPREAD = exchange routing fragment.
Time Span	Gap between first and last hit. Long time spans (5+ min) indicate genuine re-entry, not a single order being split.

Code	Meaning	Implication
A	Ask side — executed at or above the ask	Aggressive buyer. Someone urgently wanted to own these contracts and paid up.
AA	Above Ask — paid above the listed ask price	Extra aggressive buyer. Very high urgency — willing to overpay to get filled immediately.
B	Bid side — executed at or below the bid	Aggressive seller. Someone sold contracts, accepting the lower bid price to exit quickly.
BB	Below Bid — sold below the listed bid price	Extra aggressive seller. May also indicate a large institutional block being hedged.
M	Mid — executed at the midpoint	Neutral. Could be either opening or closing. Less directional signal on its own.

Type	Meaning
SWEEP	Order simultaneously swept multiple exchanges to get filled at best price. Speed-driven — implies urgency and directional conviction.
BLOCK	Single large order (≥ 50 contracts) executed at one venue, often negotiated. Institutional in nature.
SPLIT	Order broken across multiple venues, filled at varying prices. Common for very large orders avoiding market impact.
COB / COB_AUCT	Cross-order book — a paired trade where buyer and seller are matched internally before hitting the exchange.
SPRD_FLR_PP	Spread floor price protection — a leg of a multi-leg spread. These often appear as clusters of related trades at the same timestamp.
SPRD_TIED_CROSS	A spread tied to a cross — paired leg of a strategy trade (e.g., risk reversal or collar).

Field	What it means
Time (ET)	Exact execution timestamp in Eastern Time (ET). Compare times to judge how spread apart the repeat hits are.
Consolidation	How the order routed — BLOCK, SWEEP, SPLIT, etc. (see Consolidation Types above).
Trade Type	Exchange-level order type: AUTO (automated), COB (cross-order book), AUCT (auction print), ISO (intermarket sweep order), etc.
Side	A/AA = aggressive buyer · B/BB = aggressive seller · M = mid (neutral).
Size	Number of contracts in this specific trade. Multiply by 100 for share equivalent.
Premium	Dollar value of this trade: Size × Option Price × 100.
IV	Implied volatility at time of execution. Elevated IV means the market prices in more uncertainty.
Delta	Rate of change vs. the underlying. 0.5 = at the money. Near 1.0 = deep ITM. Near 0 = far OTM.
⚡ Unusual	This specific trade was flagged unusual by quantdata.us.
★ Golden Sweep	A large, aggressive sweep across multiple exchanges — considered a high-quality signal.
🔓 Opening	This trade opens a new position (not closing an existing one). Opening repeats are the most meaningful.

Tape-wide read (cancellations and automated spread legs removed) — not the filtered repeat-flow subset. Direction is inferred from execution side: calls lifted at the ask & puts sold on the bid = bullish; calls sold & puts bought = bearish.

★ Golden Sweeps filtered to clean new opening flows only — aggressive opening buys (calls bought / puts bought) on fresh positioning (Vol > OI). Closing trades, premium sells, and hedges are excluded, so what remains is directional new money. The Play column reads how one might follow it.

⚠ Not investment advice. Direction is inferred from execution side and can still be wrong — do your own diligence.

Clean Opening Sweeps

Time	Ticker	Contract	Premium	Direction	DTE	V / OI	Flags	Play
No data loaded

⚡ Unusual activity, filtered to real quality — the raw flag is noisy, so a trade only appears if it's sizable ($50K+), clearly directional (took the ask / hit the bid), and new positioning (opening, or Vol > OI). Each keeps a 0–9 quality score; only Medium+ shown.

Quality Unusual Flow

No data loaded

Value-stock flow — large-cap value names (financials, energy, industrials, staples, utilities, materials …), filtered to the same quality bar: sizable, clearly directional, and new positioning (opening or Vol > OI). Not tied to the unusual flag.

Value Flow

Aligned only

Time	Ticker	Sector	Contract	Premium	Sentiment	Quality	DTE	V / OI	Flags
No data loaded

Short-term aligned flow — this week's expiries (1–7 DTE, 0DTE excluded), directional buys only (calls bought / puts bought), passing the quality + new-positioning gate. Fast-fuse conviction bets, not premium selling.

Premium rolled up by GICS sector. Concentrated flow in one sector = a thematic macro bet; spread across many = broad risk-on / risk-off. Click a sector to see the tickers driving it.

Risk appetite by option delta. Low delta = cheap, high-leverage lottery bets on a big move. High delta = stock-replacement conviction. Where the premium clusters tells you whether the flow is speculative or positioning for a real directional move.
