A useful scanner reduces the watchlist fast
Raw options flow can create more work than it solves. ConvexRadar is built around cleaner candidate ranking so traders can start with a short list of contracts that deserve manual review.
Best Options Flow Scanner
What to look for in the best options flow scanner.
The best options flow scanner is not just a feed of big trades. It should help traders separate noise from contracts worth reviewing by combining volume/open-interest pressure, premium value, liquidity, IV context, side bias, and catalyst timing.
Contract quality matters more than headline size
Large premium can be useful, but only when the contract has enough volume, reasonable open interest context, usable spread quality, and a setup that fits the expiration window.
The workflow should support follow-up
ConvexRadar pairs discovery with saved contracts, chart review, target-change context, and performance tracking so interesting rows can be monitored after the first scan.
What makes an options flow scanner useful?
Useful scanners combine contract pressure, premium value, IV context, liquidity, expiration, side bias, and catalyst context instead of showing raw trade size alone.
Is the biggest premium trade always the best signal?
No. A large trade can be a hedge, roll, spread, or closing transaction. It needs contract context before it is worth acting on.
How does ConvexRadar rank options flow?
ConvexRadar ranks contract rows with a score model that emphasizes pressure, liquidity, premium, IV rank, call/put bias, catalysts, and repeat signal behavior.
