Questions people ask first
Is this investment advice?+
No. It is a research tool that reads the options tape. It never knows your position size and it never sizes one.
Does the score work?+
At four hours, 12.8% of the last 30 days’ calls went the way the score pointed. That is below a coin flip. It is on the front page on purpose, and Proof shows every week.
What is a composite?+
0.62 × volume bias + 0.38 × open-interest bias, each from −100 to +100. Both parts are shown on every stock page.
Do I need a broker?+
No. There are zero brokers to connect. FlowDesk reads public options data.
Can I cancel?+
Any time, from Plan & billing. You keep your plan to the end of the paid period, then drop to the free plan, never mid-cycle.
