Algo Flow and Top Tickers dashboard
The Algo Flow and Top Tickers dashboard compares call and put volume through the session with the underlying price and ranked ticker activity. It is built for triage during a busy market: identify where activity is increasing, then move to premium, strike, expiry and contract context.

What the algo flow and top tickers dashboard shows
Volume is fast to read but easy to overstate. Placing call and put curves beside price and a premium-based ranking gives a more complete triage screen than a standalone unusual-volume alert.

The screenshot above is from the working product, not a mockup. The visible controls and fields are the same ones trial and Pro users research with; only the market-data timing changes between the two access levels.
- Call and put volume curves through the selected session.
- Underlying price for visual confirmation and divergence.
- Ranked bullish and bearish ticker lists.
- Market-wide and selected-symbol contexts.
How to read this dashboard
Read the dashboard as one step in a sequence. Record what it directly shows first, then use the next view to test the interpretation rather than turning a color or ranking into a conclusion.
- Notice whether volume acceleration is broad or isolated to one side.
- Compare the timing of the burst with the underlying price.
- Use the top-ticker lists to select only a few names for deeper work.
- Check premium and trade count before treating high contract volume as high conviction.
What this view cannot establish
High volume can consist of cheap contracts, closing trades or spread legs. Without premium, trade count, execution location and open interest, volume alone does not measure conviction.

Realtime Options organises observed and derived market data for independent research. Read each view with its stated method, assumptions and surrounding context.
Common questions
What does algo flow mean here?
It refers to rule-based aggregation of call and put activity into a session chart and ticker rankings. It does not mean automated trade execution or an algorithmic recommendation.
Is call volume the same as bullish premium?
No. Contract volume counts activity, while premium measures money paid. Calls may also be sold, closed or used in hedges and spreads.
How should I use the top ticker list?
Use it to build a short research queue. Verify each name with net premium, price, strike, expiry, open interest and news before forming a view.
