Thank You! The data comes from NASDAQ and OPRA. 30 Delta Yields are computed internally.
Man, Polestar (PSNY). Really thought it might take off. The cars blows Tesla's away. Lightyears ahead of everyone else, but just couldn't make inroads in the US. And now Elmo has succeeded in getting the administration to outlaw it starting next year. I'm holding though. Down 50% right now. And Xiaomi (XIACY)... amazing tech in the largest market in the world, blah, blah, blah. Down 50%, too. I don't understand why these dipshit CEOs haven't AI'd their way to gains, but oh well. I'm going down with these ships!!! (Especially since I sold NOK, SCHL, and OPRA for these moves.)
If you have the data. Here is one for fun and also because it is a popular topic. How would PnL change for 0dte iron condors if you were to get filled passively vs crossing the spread? Assume whatever mechanistic entries you want. The OPRA quotes data is huge and it will probably take me many weeks to process this from massive. If you can run this it will be good. It will give some insights into how good the MM pricing is, whether the fair lies within the spread most of the time so that probabilistically the strategy can perform a lot better with passive fills (getting those fills is another matter of course and so this is still mostly academic). Running this over a longer time horizon (just the weekly expiry for when true 0dte was not available) could also tease out affects like whether the popularity of this strategy has distorted pricing with huge volumes of retail trading this every day and selling into bids from MMs.
Cool, this makes sense, what provider do you use for the data and do you track a few tickers at a time? OPRA is notorious for its firehose of message publishing rates.
Data comes from the options tape via OPRA feed. A sweep is when a large order gets routed across multiple exchanges simultaneously to get filled fast, instead of sitting as a limit order and waiting, whoever placed it was willing to pay up for immediate execution. That urgency is the signal. A block is a single large print negotiated off-exchange, a split is one order broken into smaller pieces across time. Sweeps are the most aggressive of the three because the buyer or seller is prioritizing speed over price, which is consistent with someone who has a time-sensitive view. The scanner identifies sweep vs block vs split based on how the order routes and fills across exchanges, then layers in Vol/OI, bid/ask side, and IV context to classify whether it looks directional or structural.
Fundamentals and Pricing Data are from NASDAQ. Option Chains are from OPRA.
Honestly your thinking is directionally correct, but there’s one important nuance: options liquidity is fragmented across multiple exchanges, so even if IBKR shows “AMEX” for the contract, the actual best executable liquidity after a catalyst may still be distributed across OPRA feeds rather than sitting only on NYSE American depth specifically.
Fundamentals Data & Pricing Data are all from NASDAQ. Options data is sourced from OPRA. Any Derived metrics like Wheel Rank, Premium Calculations (30 Delta Put/Call Yields), IV HV, IV Rank, Volume Rank are all internally computed every 5 mins in real time.
Software actually getting another nice day, currently holding: OPRA, SNPS, RBLX, GTLB, DT, SNOW - wish I had DDOG lol
Guys, if anyone wants to read my DD, just look at my posts or search OPRA DD. I'm not gonna reply to every comment about shit I already wrote.
Reminder some regard made a DD about OPRA and it’s catching a bid today
Main risk is the IPO fails to go through. Even so, I don't think OPRA would drop very much. They also have a 300MM buyback that they announced only 1 quarter ago.
According to OPRA's earnings transcript, if OPAY IPOs, they will liquidate their stake and pay it in a dividend to shareholders.
Im only buying OPRA because of Winfrey, not you
Everything. It’s easier to monitor positions, better charts, does not disconnect at random times like the TWS platform on IBKR, easier to send direct orders, better trading ladder, better OCO bracket orders and adjustments, better smart routing, no additional fees for options OPRA data, lower fees, superior customer service, better scalping setups, and you can track your trading performance on the website by seeing your average win percentage per trade, average loss, win rate, and there’s probably more I am missing. This is all for option trading, not related to other services. IBKR has some low margin rates, Schwab is pretty high and needs to be negotiated but can’t expect IBKR rates in return. IBKR isn’t bad overall, just not my choice for options. If you have access to Schwab(I believe they allow international accounts in NZ), google thinkorswim free trial and test out the trading platform with a paper account.
Pretty solid OPRA results this morning, I continue to think its dirt cheap and has lots of optionality with combination of stable coin wallet, advertising revenues, buybacks, and yield
I subscribe to OPRA and CME datafeeds from DataBento and have some homemade tools for GEX etc but like you said it's up to interpretation on top of already being only a proxy for real dealer exposure. I'm mostly hoping to grab anything quantitative I can to help paint a better picture of market structure, even if it's lagged, but it seems like a lot the stuff isn't accessible to retail on actionable timeframes. Overall I'm just wanting to get better about trading with the market rather than whatever my own thesis is, but reading the room like that is challenging without the required data. Been trying to also follow better people on X, just added Nicholas so thanks. Do you think Bloomberg as a news source, not the terminal, is worth it?
The current backtester prices options synthetically using Black-Scholes with a blended vol estimate derived from 30-day realized returns — it doesn't use real historical option chains. That means no skew, no term structure, and a flat vol surface across all strikes and expirations. For something far-dated and high-delta you're sitting in the steepest part of the skew curve, which is exactly where a flat-vol model diverges most from a tradeable mid. So the gap you're seeing makes sense and isn't surprising. The methodology is intentional for now: real historical option chain data (OPRA-sourced) is expensive and the goal was to get the strategy simulation framework right first. Live data integration is in progress — once that's in, pricing will be based on actual bid/ask mids rather than model estimates, which closes that gap considerably.
this says 670 [https://optioncharts.io/options/SPY/max-pain?expiration\_dates=2026-04-17:m](https://optioncharts.io/options/SPY/max-pain?expiration_dates=2026-04-17:m) why the discrepancy? I find most of this stuff is too up to interpretation to be reliable, you can't reliably infer signage from OPRA feeds
Because I clarified it under the other thread where we were having the conversation (and in case it didn't become obvious from answers to other questions), this is not a vibe-coded platform, but one where experienced full-time senior software developers are exclusively spending their time on :) And we are an official, fully-licensed OPRA data vendor. Nothing like most of these other platforms :)
Only software I have left are non-saas names ala RDDT, RBLX, OPRA - I dont see how the bear cases of main line SAAS apply to those names because their moats and business models are not headcount nor code based but really distribution platforms for users
What, if any, is the relationship between OPRA and PANW’s announcement of their own browser?
I keep going back and forth on if I should increase or decrease software exposure lol - currently holding OPRA, VEEV, DT, RDDT, and RBRK. Opera and Reddit are really not the same concern as other SAAS at all. DT is 100% consumption based and I think stands to benefit from more code/software. VEEV is specific vertical software with pharma kicker potential and RBRK is cybersec leaning.
Next time OPRA pumps I should just sell it all, geez it can never hold its ups on great news
There's a difference between "possible" and "done." It's not a "couple" hundred it's a multiple 5 figure commitment because I signed a 12 month contract. The data licensing alone (OPRA compliance, exchange agreements, monthly reporting, pro/non-pro tracking) is a significant barrier. It's not just spinning up an API key. You're paying ThetaData for their options data spending more per month than a subscription here costs but aren't complaining that ThetaData is using data anyone can "technically" access. Which in reality they can't because it's a huge capital commitment. The whole point is that not everyone wants to build and maintain their own infrastructure for this. Some people just want to open a tab and trade. That said, I gave a free month to everyone in this thread and offered 6 months free to people who DM. If the tool is useful, great. If not, it cost nothing to find out.
If you're distributing data you need to sign contracts directly with OPRA, pay direct exchange fees to OPRA, pay per user fees directly to opra, report monthly compliance audits to opra, and do everything I stated above regardless if you're using a third party data vendor or not.
Sure if you want you can go ahead and pay the minimum $2,000 a month + $1,500 a month direct integration fee to OPRA to get direct access to the data.
You're getting the Time and Sales direct from OPRA as a Vendor yourselves? Not going through another Vendor?
Here we go. OPRA is a giant bull flag. Now rug it algos 😂
I reckon if I say OPRA one more time the stock will rug 😂
Might short OPRA since they had a blowout earnings and because I’m mentioning it here.
OPRA is buying 16% of the maximum supply of CELOs tokens.
Depends on how fresh you want your data. Polygon 15m delayed data can be had for less than 100 bucks. OPRA live data package starts with 1200. That’s just to get you started. All the naive gex subs out there that says they only update their gamma chart four times a day, now you know why. Also like many said, even live data doesn’t give me full dealer positioning. You have to figure out in your own
You're right mate, all the signs are there. At the same time, it's a matter of the narrative. Narrative goes backwards to price action. People come up with all sorts of excuses why OPRA can't make it in hidsight, because it's not some cool AI company. The business keeps proving.
Strange options volume: someone bought 778 $17 calls yesterday and share buying has been pretty heavy(huge orders for OPRA). I think it’s safe to say someone expects OPRA to go to $17+
Dont see why OPRA cant keep going up from here, 20% float buyback in place now, 10x fwd pe, growing double digits - growth fears have surrounded it for a long time and yet management keeps beating and raising q after q
Jesus Joseph and doggystyle Mary. OPRA fucking ripping.
$OPRA is a sleeper pick after yesterday's killer earnings and $300M announced share buyback. Very low float. Can move fast.
Very nice! Similar story for me with OPRA lol
If corn bottom, might need to cover my OPRA short since it tracks corn 😂
Update: OPRA short is going well.
OPRA is 100% going back to the $20 range in a few weeks
OPRA holy shit. Fucking 🚀
OPRA: ‘we are announcing and unprecedented buyback while offering a dividend and buying back 25% of market cap as of this morning’ (over the next 2 years, should add a solid floor) Their PE is like 13-15 lmao. Sounds like they want to aim for a 5-10b market cap.
Remember kids, sell NVDA calls and short OPRA.
OPRA: $300m buyback Earnings up. Guidance up Number of users up Fuckers going to dump.
OPRA earnings is 2/26 premarket
OPRA approaching the deep fucking value of tech stock pricing.
I've built the GammaWins Calculator which is similar in functionality to OptionStrat. It does calculate net Greeks and if you used it and they were wrong, I would love to know and fix that. https://www.gammawins.com/calc The data is only 15-minutes delayed so not real-time, live OPRA feeds with a redistribution license is quite expensive. I'll add that alongside a paid plan once I have enough users.
Never heard of this prop firm, but reading their site shows me some red flags. Did you see this info on their site? Market data provided by TickSage, a licensed redistributor of NASDAQ and OPRA data. Live trading executed on our company's TastyTrade brokerage account (a FINRA-registered broker-dealer). 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801 Wyoming is like the wild west for corporations, it gives Delaware serious competition.
these questions are too softball 😆 UW, CheddarFlow, et al are mostly noise I am always shocked to see how many people still think that aggressor tagging is legitimately going to give you reliable information over time. But then, after all, the "Options Price Reporting Authority" itself (OPRA) labels trades as bought/sold via aggressor tagging, which must seem misleading coming from an "authority" For those that don't know- the labeling usually is a function of assuming that customers have to sell near our bid in order to get filled, and buy near the offer. But we have to keep markets very tight these days- and the price discovery happens across different vectors. I saw it smartly referred to as "predictive alpha" - which is basically a fancy way of saying "know your customer's flows well enough to make the right price in the right size for the right counterparty at the right time" Half the time you see massive equity overwrites trade they'll go up at the offer because MMs have electronically kept the vols low until the real selling flow hits- and they pay up for it knowing that the streaming prices are "massaged" - to be clear, there's risk in doing this. But it's commonplace and the tradeoff the industry has to be willing to accept when markets are required to be so tight. You pay your pound of flesh elsewhere but yes - the info from these inferences and assumptions is 60/40 at best, and at times you're adversely selected into misrepresenting the most important flows. Regarding Captain condor - yes! been following that flow for a long time and it fascinated me the hubris. Anyways, I supported much of the work out there with my data and view - I was referenced in the MarketWatch article and I eventually just wrote a series myself detailing it. You can find the whole thing here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/daniel-roos-50849236\_to-kill-a-martingale-a-deep-dive-into-captain-ugcPost-7422966036347482112-4Wk8?
!banbet OPRA $17 1M
Polygon highest tier option plan has it. Databento has it. Or skip the middle man and go straight to OPRA.
By analyzing every trade flow, which is expensive since you need quote data. OPRA real time flow runs 1200USD per month
Hey OP. I’m unaware of your context but Bloomberg’s tick-by-tick is probably an overkill (and expensive) for most 0DTE setups unless you’re running a legit HFT desk. PapaCharlie9 gave you useful alternative, but in case you prefer to outsource this problem, you can check out ORATS. They have a live data API that runs with <10 seconds of market delay, which for 0DTE mm is more than fast enough unless you’re competing with Citadel’s colos. Just beware, is not “cheap”. Pricing-wise, the intraday recurring data is around $199/mo. Not cheap, not Bloomberg-expensive. For me the data quality on the IV surface is genuinely better than what you’ll get from most retail-facing providers because they’re fitting a parameterized curve (slope + derivative) rather than just spitting out raw mid-market IVs. For the real pros that need sub-second updates you’re probably looking at OPRA feed direct or through a vendor like LiveVol/CBOE DataShop. What’s your actual latency requirement? That’ll narrow it down fast.
In terms of semi derisked tech names both OPRA and RBRK are at 52 week lows but pre-announced beats in releases. So long as guidance isnt abysmal those are gonna bounce here I think hard
Best part about OPRA? If it doesn’t moon I can use the dividends to buy more 😂
OPRA (fintech w/ a kick ass browser) actually doing decent today. Glad I averaged down.
OPRA getting slammed by shorts. Roughly 70% of volume the last couple days was shorting.
I swear to god. OPRA might be actual fucking garbage. Therefore I shall buy more shares.
If you need true intraday historical options data, there really isn’t a good free option. Most people doing serious modeling use specialized vendors like Cboe’s historical OPRA data, ORATS, IVolatility, or TickData, which provide minute-level or tick-level prices, Greeks, and volumes across contracts. These datasets are far more complete than what Bloomberg exposes, but they come at a cost because of exchange licensing. For a class project, a limited paid trial or a short-term dataset from one of these providers is usually the most practical route.
NGL, I regret my OPRA buy.
OPRA preannounced great #s, still getting crushed. Not sure I can bring myself to keep buying but the valuation just makes no sense to me while they are growing so well
Is OPRA getting acquired?
Hell I might even buy OPRA shares. Fuckers even pay a decent dividend.
OPRA calls anyone? Had a nice dip today after they said they are expecting higher growth to be reported this earnings.
IMO KASPI and OPRA are better fintechs to buy if one don't mind emerging markets.
OPRA options flow. You can get those feeds from optionstrat/unusual whales/tradeviz etc.
OPRA might be an interesting one to watch, raised guidance today and it fell 9% from the intraday high.
OPRA getting acquired?
Damn, those OPRA shares I got on a whim are going crazy.
OPRA up 19% due to some PR released saying they are going to beat at earnings.
OPRA is moving. Hottttttt damn.
OPRA +18% on pretty good prelim beat, I think it should be way higher still tbh
Bought LEAP calls before OPRA earnings, bought shares today. Hope these fuckers dump.
Picked up 100 OPRA shares. Fuck it. It’s basically Norwegian Google.
OPRA looks like a decent AI/Web browser play.
[https://marketapex.com](https://marketapex.com) \- we just went live about a month ago so there's still plenty of bugs, and sometimes the live refreshing messes up because OPRA pricing makes it basically impossible to get high-quality data at a reasonable price (so we have to use all these filterting techniques). Anyway, I think we've got a really interesting take on how to look at options data and hopefully you find it somewhat useful!

Just a heads up if you go the direct route: The OPRA feed is a beast. We ingest about \~3TB per day of just quote data (compressed). The storage, hardware, and egress fees alone can be a nasty surprise for folks looking to go direct to save money. It’s definitely doable, but the infrastructure overhead is.. massive (ha). Feel free to reach out if you want to know more about what we're running.
Oh I am aware. I am planning on eventually going straight to nasdaq and OPRA for the data and perphaps become a API provider similar to the data providers I use.
So far dumping almost all my software names Jan 1 has been a good call... I think anti-software sentiment could be a lasting theme of 2026 tbh... I still do hold a few though but much less than I did (GTLB, DDOG, OKTA, and OPRA only)
Seems like most viable paths point back to OPRA-based vendors or exchange/academic access. The real constraint looks less like availability and more like cost and licensing.
Anyone using IBKR suscription to see option prices OPRA Top of Book (L1)? Is it worth it?
You have to pay for CBOE data they won’t just give it out and it’s expensive. Hence why there are services/platforms that pay for it via OPRA then organize the data to be utilized in analyses

Au/trbodeez Thanks! I wrote a few scanners that use AI agents, statistical inference engines and news and gossip sentiment. This one specifically logs in every night after the OPRA files are available and then makes API calls against Alpaca's brokerage (best balance between cost and value). It gets a history of purchased call contracts to establish an average call volume and then it looks at yesterday's call volume. If yesterday's call volume is 200% higher than the average and higher than each of the five trading days, it makes the screen. The report builds graphs from the screen. https://preview.redd.it/nqbm5hi2xdbg1.jpeg?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2578602959bb5ac88da0d2c3b4214558ab191d68 I'll continue in next response will only let me include one picture. This is sample output from my saturday 1:30 AM run.
u/trbodeez DAMMIT! I just made a profit on long calls for COP and cashed out.. lol.. I did see the premiums. I was thinking there would be a short term surge (like Monday) on CVX. I went through the call spikes and they've been going on for a week. This one missed my screener. I hand wrote a screener that crawls OPRA feed looking for surges, nightly. I wonder how people are finding it faster than that... Insider information seems unlikely.. I mean Pelosi isn't there yet.. lol..
We launched OPRA data back in 2023: [https://databento.com/catalog/opra/OPRA.PILLAR](https://databento.com/catalog/opra/OPRA.PILLAR)
Live option pricing is OPRA data, so… your brokerage? Or Bloomberg @ 20k/mo, or Massive @ 200/mo, I don’t know if Databento has OPRA data yet.
OPRA, FOUR, SE, NOW, FTNT would be a start to dig around in
OPRA finally turning around, been an annoying one but I have added in the trough
If you just buy shares, you will change your overall delta position. You will make money as TSLA goes up and lose as it falls. If you trade the deep option with the stock, this won't be the case. Say you are a professional trader and have multiple positions on in TSLA but are delta neutral and your position includes short stock. You might be short puts, long calls, etc to balance out the short stock. You may be paying 25 basis points for a short stock fee. You make a trade where you buy TSLA and sell the 5 calls. This is a neutral position, but now you are no longer short stock. You do it at a price that saves you money and is favorable to the person who took the other side. Here are the tags that appear on time and sales, see pages 24 and 25 [OPRA\_Pillar\_Input\_Specification.pdf](https://cdn.opraplan.com/documents/OPRA_Pillar_Input_Specification.pdf) My execution platform, WEX, will list these.
