Sector and Ticker Flow dashboard
The Sector and Ticker Flow dashboard ranks where call and put premium is clustering across market groups and individual names. It is a narrowing tool: use it after the market-wide read to create a small watchlist, then open strike and contract views before interpreting direction.

What the sector and ticker flow dashboard shows
Sector grouping provides context that a ticker leaderboard cannot. A large single-name print may be more meaningful when several related names and the sector ETF show the same pressure, or less meaningful when the rest of the group is quiet.
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.
- Sector-level breadth and premium comparison.
- Top tickers ranked by bullish and bearish net premium.
- Separate positive and negative sides for rapid comparison.
- ETF and single-name activity inside the same narrowing workflow.
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.
- Compare sector breadth with the direction shown by Weighted Net Flow.
- Choose names that repeat across sector and ticker rankings, not one isolated bar.
- Check whether underlying price confirms the ranked premium.
- Open the flow map and heat grid to locate strikes and expiries.
What this view cannot establish
Rankings are relative snapshots and can be dominated by liquid large-cap names. They do not normalize every difference in market capitalization, event calendar or typical options volume.

Questions people ask about this
What is sector options flow?
It is the aggregation of classified call and put activity across companies or ETFs in the same market sector, used to compare where premium is concentrating.
Why rank tickers by options premium?
Premium reflects the amount paid for contracts and can be more informative than contract count alone, especially when tickers have very different option prices.
Is the top bullish ticker a recommendation?
No. It is the highest ranked result under the current analytic rules. It still requires strike, expiry, price, open-interest and catalyst checks.
