Bullish and Bearish Volume Change scanner
The Bullish and Bearish Volume Change scanner ranks symbols whose classified options activity changed most within the selected comparison window. It is a market-wide research queue: the ranking shows where activity shifted, not whether a security should be bought or sold or where its price will move next.

What the bullish and bearish volume change scanner shows
The paired rankings are designed for prioritisation. A large bar means the model found a large change in classified volume relative to the comparison basis; it does not explain why that change occurred or whether the activity belongs to one directional position.
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.
- Separate highest-bullish and highest-bearish volume-change rankings.
- Ticker-level bars for comparing relative concentration at a glance.
- A visible refresh time so the observation window is not mistaken for live-now evidence.
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.
- Confirm the selected window and refresh time before comparing symbols.
- Note the first few names on both sides rather than focusing only on the longest bar.
- Open the ticker-level flow, price and option-chain views for each candidate.
- Check whether a scheduled event, index exposure or one large contract explains the change.
What this view cannot establish
Options volume includes opening, closing, spread, hedge and roll activity. The chart cannot identify the trader or full portfolio, and a bullish or bearish label remains an estimate derived from public execution evidence.
Realtime Options describes observed and derived market data for independent research. It does not identify a trader, reveal intent with certainty, predict a price move or issue a recommendation.
Questions people ask about this
What does the options volume-change scanner rank?
It ranks symbols by the change in model-classified bullish or bearish options activity during the selected window. It does not rank expected returns.
Is the top bullish-volume ticker a buy signal?
No. The ranking is a prompt to inspect price, premium, strikes, expiries, open interest and news. It is not a recommendation or forecast.
Why show bullish and bearish rankings together?
The two lists preserve market breadth and conflicting activity. Looking at only one side can make a mixed session appear more directional than it is.
