OptionScout
Smart money leaves footprints

There's an edge
in the tape.
We help you find yours.

The biggest players in the market move first — sweeping the ask, flipping gamma, stacking positions before the chart even moves. OptionScout surfaces those moves in real time, then walks you through what they mean and what to do.

The job to be done

You're not bad at this.
You're guessing in the dark.

You see the green print scroll past. You feel the move forming. You hesitate. Ten minutes later, the chart confirms what the tape already told you — and IV already crushed the entry you wanted.

The edge isn't knowing more. It's knowing the same thing four hours earlier — and knowing what to do when you see it.

That's the job. We're how you do it.

Journal · 14:02 ETWITHOUT US

“Saw NVDA print sweeping the ask all morning. Didn't act because I ‘didn't have a thesis.’ Bought the $1180 call at 2:30 — IV had moved from 38 to 51, premium from $14 to $24. Got the direction right. Lost money.”

The path

Four stops between
“I see something” and “I closed for +40%.”

Most tools push signals at you. We push you forward — through the same loop a professional trading desk runs every day.

01SPOT IT

Scout

Real-time sweeps, blocks, γ flips

Every order ticker gets parsed in milliseconds. We surface only what matters: trades that move size relative to history, not just relative to today.

  • Sweeps · blocks · cross-exchange aggression
  • Statistical filters (≥2σ over 30-day baseline)
  • Filterable by ticker, sector, expiry, premium
02READ IT

Flow

Translation layer over raw tape

Big trades aren't bullish or bearish on their own. We tag intent — opening vs closing, hedge vs speculation, dealer vs natural — so you read what's happening, not just what printed.

  • OI delta vs trade direction
  • Greeks-aware classification
  • Plain-English summary on every alert
03ACT ON IT

Advisor

Trade plans, not just signals

Every alert ships with a plan: structure, strike, expiry, sizing, and where you're wrong. You adapt it to your account — we just make sure you're never staring at a green print without an answer.

  • Strike/expiry suggestions tuned to IV
  • Position-size guardrails
  • Pre-defined invalidation: where the thesis fails
04CLOSE THE LOOP

Postmortem

Skill compounds. Slop doesn't.

Every trade is logged automatically with the original signal, your entry, your exit, and what the tape did after. Pattern recognition gets sharper because the data is right there.

  • Auto-tagged trade journal
  • Tag-level win rate, MFE/MAE
  • Weekly digest: what you did well, what to drill
Anatomy of a signal

One sweep.
From raw print to actionable plan.

This is what you'd see on the platform — exactly. No teaser screenshots, no inflated numbers. Real format, real fields.

WHAT IT MEANS

Single buyer crossing 4 exchanges in 90 seconds. Paying up through the spread — they think the move is bigger than the premium. Pairs with the γ flip at $1175; above that, dealers sell rallies and amplify rips.

Built for the trader
who wants to stop guessing.

I stopped trading off Twitter screenshots. The journal alone changed how I size — I can finally see which setups actually work for me.

The γ flip alerts saved me from three blow-up days last quarter. That's the entire subscription paying for itself, twice.

I used to copy alerts from Discord and not understand why. Now I get the why in plain English. I trade less and make more.
