Flowseeker - options flow
See where options money is going, live.
Flowseeker streams every options print with where it filled, its size and the open interest behind it, so you can tell a likely new position from noise.
The problem
The tape moves faster than you can read it
- A huge call print flashes by and you can't tell if it's a new bet, someone closing, or one leg of a spread.
- Thousands of prints a day, and the ones that matter scroll past while you're looking at the chart.
- The flow is in one tab, the levels in another and the earnings date in a third.
With Flowseeker
Every print, with the context to read it
Flowseeker puts each trade next to what you need to judge it: bid or ask side, premium, size against open interest, and sweep, multi-leg and cross flags. Boards sum that flow by contract, by ticker and across the whole market, so you see where money is concentrating without reading every row. The next morning's open interest shows which positions were really opened.
How it works
Flowseeker, step by step
Watch the tape
Live Feed shows every print as it happens. Filter by ticker, calls or puts, side, days to expiry and premium, then save each setup as its own tab, like "0DTE SPY" or "Earnings week".
Find the busy contracts
Flow Scanner ranks the session's most active contracts, with presets such as Bullish Flow and Bearish Flow. Flow Compass shows the whole market's lean, from Market Tide down to one ticker's strikes.
Drill into one contract
Click any row for the Contract Drilldown: flow bars through the day, the bid, mid and ask mix, calls and puts bought and sold, and the contract's Vol/OI history.
Follow what you found
Save a print to the Flow Tracker to see whether the position appears to still be open, or set a Flow Alert so you hear about the next matching print without watching the tape.

Flow Compass
The whole market on one board
One board takes you from the whole market down to a single contract. Start at the market cards to see the day's lean, then move to a ticker or to the screens that surface contracts. Cards describe today; they don't predict.
Market Tide
The whole market's cumulative NCP and NPP through the session, with SPY on the right axis for context. Step back through past sessions with the arrows or the calendar.
Net Impact
Today's most bullish and most bearish names by net premium (NCP minus NPP). Indices and broad ETFs are excluded.
Breadth Heat Calendar
Per sector, what share of stocks closed above their own recent average. Broad or narrow participation. Daily; it does not move intraday.
Rotation Map
Each sector against the broad market: leading, weakening, lagging, improving. Press play to replay the rotation.
Capabilities
What you can do with Flowseeker
Filter the tape your way
Narrow Live Feed by ticker, side, expiry, premium, Vol/OI, Flow Score and more. Quick toggles isolate sweeps, single-leg or multi-leg trades, and prints bigger than open interest. Flow Highlighting colours those large prints so they stand out as the feed scrolls.
Separate new positions from noise
Size > OI, Vol/OI and next-day Delta OI show whether a print looks like a brand-new position. Multi-leg and cross flags warn you when a big call print is really one leg of something else.
Read the whole market on one board
Flow Compass takes you from Market Tide and Net Impact down to Strike Flow on SPY and QQQ, with screens for Aggressive Bets, Repetitive Hits and Large Opening Orders.
See large off-exchange stock trades
Dark Feed lists big dark-pool prints with size, notional and share of average volume, so you can note the prices where big blocks of shares changed hands.
Check the calendar before reading size
Company Events shows earnings, dividends and splits, plus insider filings and Congress disclosures for a ticker, so you know what might explain unusual flow.
Get alerted and share a digest
Keep up to 25 Flow Alerts delivered in-app, by push, email or Discord DM. Accounts with Flowseeker sharing can build an end-of-day Flow Summary and post it to their Discord channels.

Why traders pay for it
What Flowseeker puts in your hands
What's uniquely in hand
Every options print as it happens, with the side it filled on, its size against open interest and sweep, multi-leg and cross flags, so a likely new position stands apart from noise.
Time it gives back
Saved feed tabs, Flow Compass and up to 25 Flow Alerts do the watching, so you never have to read every row.
What it replaces
A raw time-and-sales feed, a separate dark-pool tracker and an earnings calendar in another tab.
Included with every plan.Market data licensed via NASDAQ, CBOE and OPRA.
Pairs with
Flowseeker with the rest of Skylit
Heatseeker
Flow shows what is trading; Heatseeker shows where dealers are positioned. Many traders check what Strike Flow shows at a Heatseeker level.
Atlas
Add Flow, Net Premium, Flow VWAP and Dark Pool lines from the Atlas Add menu to see flow under your candles (plans that include charts).
Talon
Ask about flow in plain English, like "What's unusual today?" or /flow NVDA. On Flowseeker pages Talon sees your filters and the rows in view (Pro and higher plans).
Share charts to Discord(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
Add up to 3 Discord channels in Settings > Discord. Then open a chart and use Share to pick a channel and post the chart there. If none are set up, Share links you to Settings.
Flow Tracker shows expired trades in Realized(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
Expired options in Flow Tracker now show their result in the Realized column, with a notification badge you can dismiss. Trades you saved earlier now show up in Realized too.
Alerts fits phones better, with a new Settings look(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
On phones, Alerts fields, buttons and tabs are now smaller and match the desktop size, so more fits on screen. Alerts Settings has a new look with shorter wording, on phone and desktop.
Which plans include Flowseeker?
Flowseeker is included in the Community, Initiate and Pro plans. The first time you open it, you sign the OPRA market-data agreement (OPRA publishes US options trades). You only sign once.
What's the difference between Live Feed and Flow Scanner?
Each Live Feed row is one trade, so you see orders the moment they print. Each Flow Scanner row is one contract summed over the session, so you see which contracts are unusually busy today.
Can I save my filters?
Yes. Each Live Feed tab keeps its own filters, columns, sort and highlighting. Add, rename and duplicate tabs to keep several setups side by side.
Does an ask-side call print mean someone is bullish?
Not on its own. Side tells you where a trade filled, not why. A hedge, a close or one leg of a spread can all print at the ask. Check the multi-leg and cross flags, size against open interest, and the next morning's Delta OI before you read direction.
Does Flowseeker show market tide?
Yes. Market Tide on Flow Compass tracks the whole market's net call and net put premium through the session, with SPY for context, and you can step back through past sessions.
Does Flowseeker tell me what to trade?
No. Flowseeker shows what traded and where it filled. It is not a forecast and not a recommendation. Flow Score ranks prints by how directional they look; it has not been tested as a predictor of moves.
