We make the options tape readable.
Every day, billions of dollars in options trade across the US market. Hidden in that firehose are the sweeps, blocks and lopsided volume that hint where informed money is positioning — the kind of activity that moves a name before the news catches up.
The problem was never the lack of data. It was that reading it felt like work. The tools that existed were powerful but loud — dense, dark dashboards that buried one real signal under forty columns of noise. We wanted something quieter: a single calm screen that surfaces what’s genuinely unusual and gets out of the way.
So we built Unusual — a real-time flow product designed around one idea: the signal should be obvious. Contracts stream in live and flash softly as they print. Each one is graded from its volume-to-open-interest ratio and premium size, so the genuine outliers stand out without you hunting for them.
Clarity over noise
Most flow tools bury the signal in flashing tables and forty columns. We show the few prints that actually matter and make every number easy to read.
Fast, then beautiful
A trading screen you stare at all day should feel calm, not frantic. Paper-white surfaces, tabular numerals, restrained color — speed you can sit with.
Honest by default
We don't sell hype, and we never dress up flow as a guaranteed edge. Unusual is a lens on the market, not a crystal ball.
A note on what this is — and isn’t
Unusual is a research and visualization tool. The flow you see is informational, not a recommendation — options activity can signal conviction, hedging, spreads or noise, and no single print tells you what will happen next. Market data may be delayed depending on the feed plan. Nothing here is investment advice.
