Institutional Options Flow. Observed in Real Time.

Whale Tracker identifies and publishes large, unusual options activity as it happens. We do not predict markets. We do not provide trade signals. We simply show you what institutional-sized players are doing in the options market - so you can make more informed decisions on your own.

What Whale Tracker Is

What Whale Tracker Is Not

How Signals Are Generated

When options activity meets certain thresholds - such as unusually large premiums, aggressive pricing (above ask or below bid), or specific contract structures - Whale Tracker publishes this activity in our feed.

Each "signal" is simply a notation that a specific trade occurred in the market. We categorize these trades using rule-based logic:

These classifications are not investment advice. They are labels based on trade structure to help you categorize activity.

Transparency & Data Integrity

We believe in radical transparency around what our system does - and what it cannot do:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whale Tracker financial advice?
No. Whale Tracker is a data observation platform. We do not provide financial advice, trading signals, or recommendations. All trading decisions are yours alone.
Can I use this to make money trading?
We cannot guarantee any trading outcome. Options trading is inherently risky. This platform is for informational purposes - to give you awareness of large market activity. What you do with that information is up to you.
What is "directional accuracy"?
This metric shows how often the price moved in the direction suggested by the trade type (e.g., a large call buy followed by price going up). It's a historical observation, not a predictive metric.
Where does the data come from?
We aggregate data from publicly available options exchange feeds (OPRA). We do not have access to non-public or insider information.
Can institutions see this data too?
Yes - the underlying data is public. What we do is filter, structure, and present it in a way that makes it easier for non-institutional traders to monitor.

Institutional traders don't trade signals. They study positioning.

See what the big players are doing - and decide for yourself what it means. Whale Tracker gives you transparency into institutional options flow, without hype, without guarantees, and without misleading you about what this data can and cannot do.
