Start with the "Hot Chains & Tickers" page. Not only does this display the tickers with the most option volume, but it also shows the most active chains. Better yet, you can filter by sector and market cap.
Below are some specific filter examples:

Unusual Whales is an incredible tool that can take anyone's trading to the next level. It presents a ton of data, which can often be hard to synthesize.
This thread will provide a simplistic approach to analyzing and utilizing flow data. 🌊
Start with the "Hot Chains & Tickers" page. Not only does this display the tickers with the most option volume, but it also shows the most active chains. Better yet, you can filter by sector and market cap.
Below are some specific filter examples:
The "Intraday Analyst" page is your best friend here. The first thing I do is scroll down to the "Most Active Chains" table.
I'm looking for short-term exp. OTM contracts with heavy volume that look "unusual."
Examples are included below:
$AMD - Closed Tues. 11/2 ~$127.60. 130c got hit hard. Closed the week over $136.
$NVDA - Closed Thurs. 10/28 ~249.40, 250c 🔨. Closed Friday ~255.70.
- OTM with little time to exp. = urgency
- Heavy volume on a certain strike can mean volatility in that area = good for options
- Vol. much greater OTM than ATM = big move possibility
Read: https://t.co/jaWI8lo1tX
This is right above the previous table. What strikes are being targeted for 11/12 exp. on $LCID? I can see that 40c had heavy action. Friday 11/5 closed at almost $42 so that makes sense.
But the 45c volume and OI grabs my attention.
Going into Monday 11/8, I can logically have $LCID 45c on my watchlist without even looking at the chart yet.
If I'm looking to play weeklies, I'll simply filter to only weekly expiry. Then I'll toggle the minimum premium in the "Premium Range" based on the stock. I'll focus mainly on the "🐂 V 🐻 Prems" chart.
Min. premium examples in order: 100k, 150k, 200k.
No tool is a crystal ball. Unusual Whales gives you the opportunity to view, analyze, and customize more data than you could ever ask for. It will take a day or two to figure everything out, but it can be very rewarding.
These tools empower retail traders by enabling us to follow the flow. 🌊

Due Diligence Thread 🚨👇
In this thread I will be revealing to you guys my step by step process on how I do my due diligence on any ticker along with the process of how I find good setups and what resources and websites do I use to do it.
Step 1: Finding Good Chart Setups (continued)
Attached below is my personal finviz screener settings which I use to look at charts and how I
change some of the settings to my own preferences.
Site Reference: https://t.co/liI2ktnHhz
PS: Sometimes I don't even select any pattern
My favorite bullish chart setups that I personally look out for initiating swing positions:
1-) Falling Wedge Pattern
2-) Ascending Triangle Pattern
3-) Fish Hook / Oversold Bounce Pattern
4-) Channel Up Pattern
5-) Descending Triangle Breakout Pattern ( Towards Upside)
Step 2: Checking for Offerings
Once I have found a good chart, with a high risk reward ratio, the immediate first thing that I
do is to look out for any signs of upcoming offering. Since I don’t want to get caught in
offerings , these are the two things that I lookout for.
Step 2: Checking for Offerings (continued)
1-) Firstly, I look for whether the company had made any recent offerings in the last two months, if yes then there are less chances of new offerings.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
