I use this tool by far the most. Here is where I identify all of the big moving transactions happening in the market. I generally look for Strikes that are OTM and are weekly or bi-weekly expirations, this shows urgency.
As promised, here is a thread on how I use @unusual_whales to help me find actionable plays.
Please note that these are TOOLS, they are not a magic perfect tool for you to get rich quick. There will be winners, there will be losers.

Emoji's - All selected besides Bid Side, ETF, Monthly, and Leaps.
EXPIRY - Nearest 4-5 Dates
Ask Side - ON
Bid Side - OFF
Exclude Deep ITM - ON
I start by looking at the 1K, 5K, 15K, and 30K to get a good feel for the volume for each expiry and strike price. I then go to the history to look at the options breakdown for each day. I mainly focus on Call Prem %, anything over 65%

This isn't a lesson on TA, but when I'm charting im looking for Supply/Demand zones, Trend lines, Candlestick patterns - various time frames, and support/resistance levels (Yes, these are different from Supply/Demand) that are confluent with what im seeing from flow
After all this is done I go through Social media (mainly twitter) as well as various news outlets looking for things that can give me any indication on whether the ticker i'm looking at is trending / has any reason to be moving quickly near term.
Once all this is done, I take all the information i've gathered and put together a thesis for my trade. I plan it in great detail and I NEVER deviate from the plan (very important). This outlines areas to enter and exit as well as when to scale in / out.
Big shout outs go to @YourBoyMilt @SharkofTraders @Just2Traders @tradinggrounds for being great resources in the UW community! If anyone needs further help / has questions my DM's are open. Happy Trading!
