🐳 Watchlists + @unusual_whales 🐳

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. 🌊

1. Where To Start

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:
2. Analysis

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:
$LCID - Closed Wed. 11/3 ~$36.50. 40c weeklies required a 10% move in 2 days to go ITM. $LCID closed at $41.80 on Friday.

$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.
Weekly OTM strikes with heavy volume can lead to huge moves. Now what makes these so unusual?

- 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
Now it is crucial to note that volume includes both buying and selling. Suppose much of the action on a chain is selling volume. This would be bearish. However, in short-term options trading, you need volatility. Volume is what you want.

Staying on the "Intraday Analyst" page:

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.
I can confirm this by checking the most active chains. The highest volume OTM option on Fri. 11/5 for 11/12 exp. was in fact the 11/12 45c.

Going into Monday 11/8, I can logically have $LCID 45c on my watchlist without even looking at the chart yet.
3. Targeted Flow Fliters

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.
In each of these three situations, bullish premiums are over 60%, which is a bullish sign. Being concerned with the short-term move (weekly), this process has been the most simple and understandable when it comes to recent large orders.
4. Conclusion

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.
Unusual Whales is a game-changer when it comes to catching big moves BEFORE they happen.

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.

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 hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
