Options flow analysis, unusual activity detection, and options strategy evaluation for equities and ETFs

Options flow analysis, unusual activity detection, and strategy evaluation for equities and ETFs.

What it does

OptionsHawk monitors and analyzes options market activity to surface actionable trading intelligence, including:

• Unusual activity detection — identify large or out-of-the-ordinary options trades that may signal institutional positioning or informed flow
• Flow analysis — track put/call ratios, volume vs open interest, and net premium by strike and expiration
• Sweep detection — flag aggressive multi-exchange sweep orders that indicate urgency from large buyers
• Strategy identification — recognize spreads, straddles, strangles, and other multi-leg structures in the flow
• Earnings plays — analyze pre-earnings options positioning, implied move vs historical move, and skew shifts

Usage

Ask your agent to analyze options flow and activity:

• "Show me the biggest unusual options activity today across all equities"
• "What is the put/call ratio and net premium flow for AAPL this week?"
• "Alert me when there are sweep orders over $1M on any tech stock"
• "Analyze the options skew for TSLA heading into earnings"
• "What are the most active strikes and expirations for SPY right now?"

Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

• OPTIONSHAWK_API_KEY — API key for OptionsHawk. Used to authenticate requests for options flow data, unusual activity alerts, and strategy analysis.
• OPTIONSHAWK_ALERT_THRESHOLD — (optional) minimum premium in USD to trigger unusual activity alerts. Defaults to 500000.
