Your AI reads last night's pool, checks fresh liquidity and the earnings date for each candidate, and sets the target and the stop from the exit lab: how often past pool contracts hit each level.
You get 1 to 3 candidates, each with entry, target, stop, maximum loss, and a size that fits your risk. Or a reasoned no-trade. You place the order in your own brokerage.

ETN institutional options flow demonstrates aggressive premium deployment focused on long-term data center and grid infrastructure demand despite recent sector-wide profit-taking. This positioning concentrates heavily in bullish structures, signaling confidence that the company will overcome transient margin pressures in its Electrical Americas segment. Risk factor: Near-term operating cost inflation could temporarily cap upside momentum if upcoming earnings reports reveal sustained pricing-to-cost lag.
CSCO BULL $120C Nov 20 '26. Institutional flow is showing heavy accumulation in the out-of-the-money $120 calls, representing an aggressive positioning for a recovery beyond near-term resistance levels following a temporary pullback driven by gateway security vulnerabilities. While the recent technical correction has broken short-term moving averages, the massive size of this premium reflects strong conviction in Cisco's dominant enterprise market share and robust multi-year AI hardware demand. Risk factor: Continued enterprise risk-off rotation or further escalation of product vulnerability issues could delay the anticipated rebound and pressure near-term margins.
ADBE BULL $260C Nov 20 '26. The institutional flow concentrated a massive $16.2M block of premium in long-dated, out-of-the-money calls, capitalizing on a broader sector rotation into established enterprise software names following recent hot inflation prints. This bullish action ignores localized analyst downgrades and focuses instead on Adobe's deeply compressed valuation multiples and stable free cash flow. Risk factor: Persistent downward pressure on IT budgets due to corporate reallocations toward generative AI tools remains a key fundamental threat to long-term software subscription growth.
V BULL $420C Nov 20 '26. Institutional flow is showing heavy accumulation in the out-of-the-money $420 strike calls expiring late next year, driven by optimism over the commercial expansion of stablecoin prefunding on Visa Direct and a domestic card-clearing foothold in China. This major option position reflects long-term structural confidence that new value-added services will sustain revenue growth even as core payment volumes mature. Risk factor: Potential headwinds from regulatory execution hurdles in China and margin pressures from international interchange-fee adjustments could limit upside velocity prior to the contract's expiration.
UNH BULL $410C Nov 20 '26. The institutional flow reveals aggressive positioning targeting the $410 strike with over a month to expiration, reflecting a strong bullish bias following the company's Q3 earnings beat and raised full-year 2026 EPS outlook to at least $20.50. Risk factor: Persistent medical cost inflation and ongoing regulatory scrutiny regarding Medicare Advantage pricing could limit further near-term multiple expansion.
The engine runs this rule every trading night, at 23:00 ET.
Liquidity decides membership. The engine ranks the most liquid names, keeps the bullish ones, and chooses one call in each on contract liquidity: deep open interest and real session volume. Your AI plans trades it can enter and exit near the quote. If we ranked the most liquid contracts instead, you would get SPY and QQQ every day.
Each contract arrives with its flow data, technicals, catalyst, and news context, all point-in-time. Earnings dates are not screened out of the pool, so your AI checks each candidate's earnings date before it plans a trade.
