Sanity-check an options-flow alert

Desk seat: Price Map / Technicals

The problem

Big options trades look like smart money but often aren't.

What the agent does

Lists the many reasons a large options trade may exist (hedges, spreads, rolls) before you read into it.

Copy-paste prompt

Here's an options flow alert: [paste details]. List all plausible reasons this trade could exist (directional bet, hedge, part of a spread, roll, closing trade), what extra data would help tell them apart, and why flow alone is a weak signal. Do not give buy/sell/hold advice or price targets; label facts vs. inferences and cite sources.

Works with

Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any similar assistant.
