Before you begin
A few useful answers.
Who is ConvexRadar for?
Options traders who want a repeatable way to inspect contract activity, research catalysts and review their own decisions. It is research software, not financial advice.
Can I try it without a subscription?
Yes. The free tier shows the top five ranked scan rows with full fields on those contracts. Founder Beta and Pro offer a 5-day free trial for eligible accounts. View plan details.
Are these screenshots live market data?
No. They show the actual product interface using synthetic example data. The examples do not represent recommendations, customer results or current market conditions.
Does options flow predict what happens next?
No. Chain activity can guide further research, but does not establish a trader’s intent or guarantee a price move. Review liquidity, timing, catalysts and your own risk limits.

Daily breakout radar50/200 golden & death crossLoading daily setups...Stages: Fresh = 50/200 cross within the last 5 sessions · Pending = averages within 2.5% and converging (no cross yet) · Established = cross within 45 sessions with price still confirming. Cards order fresh → pending → established, then by score.
A confluence radar, not a prediction. It flags where price presses into a daily supply/demand level against the prevailing trend, with RSI extremes/divergence, daily MACD, and reversal candlesticks lining up — the more that align, the higher the stage. Each card shows a target, invalidation, and reward:risk, because that asymmetry (not signal accuracy) is what the evidence says actually matters. Always confirm on your own chart and manage risk. Stages: Watch → Warning → Confirmed.
Scans a broad, rotating universe of liquid optionable stocks (not just mega-caps) for heavy volume in long-dated options (180–1095 days). Ranked by volume relative to open interest, so unusual positioning in lesser-watched names rises above the giants. Heavy LEAPS call volume can signal conviction that a stock does well over time — but it is one input, not proof. The universe is swept in slices through the session, so coverage builds over the trading day.

◎ Signal Track Record
Track Record: what the scanner ranked highest, graded against what those exact contracts did next. Returns cover only contracts matched to a usable later snapshot. Missing and expired-without-quote outcomes are counted as unknown; the matched subset can be biased. A record of whether the ranking was informative, not a claim about trading profit.
▤ Which conditions performed
Forward returns split by the conditions present when the contract was flagged. Thin samples are noise — check the n.

🏛 Congress Trades
Congress Trades: STOCK Act periodic transaction reports from both chambers — Senate EFD and House Clerk filings. Members disclose a dollar range, not an exact size, and the law allows up to 45 days between the trade and the filing, so every row here is a historical position rather than a live trade. Research context, not advice.

Whale Map: one ticker's price history with smart-money footprints pinned on the same timeline — disclosed congressional trades and open-interest surges (contracts opened and held overnight) from ConvexRadar's own retained chain history. Filings lag trades by up to 45 days; open-interest pins grow denser every trading day as the dataset accumulates. Research context, not advice.

Methodology
How the scanner picks contracts
Every contract is filtered, then scored, then a much smaller set is promoted to the header cards. Nothing here is a prediction — it is a ranking of what is worth reading, and the rules are published so you can disagree with them.
01
Filter out what cannot be traded cleanly
Baseline quality rules run before anything is scored. This removes illiquid, far-dated, deep out-of-the-money and wide-spread contracts that can look cheap but are hard to get in and out of.
A base value, then points added or subtracted for chain quality and catalyst context. The weights below are the maximum each input can contribute.
Gamma / $18 ptsConvexity per dollar of premium — more potential movement for the price paid.
Fresh flow16 ptsVolume against open interest. Volume above OI suggests new positioning rather than churn.
Liquidity12 ptsHigher volume, so the contract is actually executable.
IV rankweightedLower implied volatility is rewarded — cheaper vol leaves more room for expansion.
CatalystsadjustsFilings, analyst target changes, insider activity, earnings timing, news sentiment, macro risk and repeat flow can move the final score either way.
03
Promote only the cleanest to the header cards
The top cards run stricter rules than the table below them. They are meant to show clean, directional setups — not everything that passed the scanner.
Threshold
Why it is there
Score ≥ 80
Keeps weak setups out of the header entirely.
IV rank ≤ 35
Prioritises lower-priced volatility.
V/OI ≥ 2×
Requires meaningful fresh demand, not routine volume.
Side bias ≥ 70%
The ticker’s premium bias must match the contract side.
Gamma/$ ≥ 0.002
Keeps genuine convexity in the setup.
$ flow ≥ $15K
Filters out prints too small to mean anything.
Read this before acting on a squeeze
“Squeeze” does not mean the stock must go up. It means the contract carries short-dated convexity pressure: fresh volume against open interest, high gamma per premium, real liquidity and a nearby expiration. Calls can represent upside momentum or upside hedging demand. Puts can represent downside momentum or protective demand. Direction still needs confirmation from chart structure, catalyst and underlying price action — the scanner does not supply it.
Reading the columns
IV Rank
Lower is better by default; the table sorts low IV to the top on load.
C/P
Premium-weighted call/put strength by ticker. C 70% means calls carry most visible premium. Header cards require 70%+ side-aligned bias; the table keeps weaker or mixed reads for review.
V/OI
Intraday option volume divided by open interest. Above 1× suggests fresh activity; above 2× is stronger.
G/P Ratio
Gamma per premium dollar — movement sensitivity for the price paid.
Inferred from chain data, not exchange tape. Sweep, block and split are derived labels. ConvexRadar does not license a consolidated options tape.
What feeds the scan
Option chains
Live chains and quotes power the scanner when connected.
Regulatory filings
Latest 8-K, Form 4, 13F, S-1 and 10-Q/10-K catalyst filings.
Company context
Analyst targets, recommendation trends, insider transactions, earnings surprises and company news.
Earnings
Feeds the earnings calendar and the catalyst timing on each row.
Behaviour worth knowing
US focus
US stocks and ETFs by default. The mixed view caps ETF density so ETFs cannot crowd out single names.
Filters persist
Calls, puts, DTE, sector, market, ticker search and sort survive a refresh.
Hard refresh
Forces fresh data calls instead of relying on browser cache.
Noise labels
Prime, Clean, Watch and Noisy tags say whether a row is actually tradeable.
ConvexRadar is research software. These rules describe how contracts are ranked for review — they are not a prediction of direction and not a recommendation to trade. Options trading involves risk, including total loss of premium.
