BigShort visualizes these forces on one chart — so you can see what's driving price action.
See when institutions are quietly buying or selling — activity that price and volume don't show.
SmartFlow tracks real-time institutional order flow, revealing accumulation and distribution patterns that price and volume indicators can't.
Know whether big money is betting on upside or downside — on any ticker, in real time.
Net Options Flow aggregates options transactions into a single directional read — available per symbol on any ticker you pull up, and for the broader market as a whole. When big money is loading calls or puts on the name you're watching, you'll see it before the potential move.
See the big picture behind options positioning — not just single trades, but the trend.
NOFA tracks the cumulative sum of net options flow over time, revealing whether institutions are steadily building bullish or bearish positions. While individual flow spikes can be noise, accumulation shows persistent conviction — giving you context on where institutions are leaning.
Spot where large block trades are printing — levels that often act as support and resistance.
The majority of U.S. equities volume now trades off-exchange — so dark pool prints are where institutional capital is quietly accumulating or distributing, out of sight of the public tape. These levels matter: prints below price have often acted as support, and prints above have often acted as resistance.
See when discretionary traders are chasing — and when they're strong enough to break out.
MomoFlow tracks the flow of human, discretionary traders — from small retail up to hedge fund desks. When MomoFlow and FastFlow push hard in the same direction, it can indicate that discretionary money is overextended — conditions that have historically preceded reversals. When MomoFlow runs unexpectedly strong, it can overwhelm market maker hedging and coincide with breakouts. Seeing both cases gives you context most charts don't.
The fast, paper-handed money that amplifies moves — then bails.
FastFlow tracks the short-horizon algorithmic traders that pile into momentum and retrace just as quickly. They exaggerate moves on the way in, but rarely stick around to defend them. Read alongside MomoFlow, FastFlow adds context to the reversal case — when both are stretched in the same direction, the move has often been near exhaustion.
The hedge point dealers are positioned around — concentrated exposure that may act as a price magnet.
Gravity HP calculates the hedge point where dealer exposure is most concentrated. Because dealer hedging activity clusters here, this level can act as a reference point for mean-reversion setups.
The intraday gamma levels where dealer hedging concentrates.
Call HP and Put HP track where gamma exposure is building against dealers in real time. The lines move on the chart throughout the day — showing potential intraday support and resistance zones associated with dealer positioning.
Helps you assess whether conditions favor mean reversion or trending — before you enter.
GEX Regime shows whether gamma exposure is positive or negative — conditions that have historically been associated with range-bound or trending markets, respectively.
See whether options traders are hedging fear or chasing greed.
Skew measures the imbalance between put and call demand, revealing whether the market is positioned for protection or speculation.
Subtle shifts in dealer positioning that most charts never show.
MM Skew tracks small, deliberate changes in market maker positioning in real time. Dealers don't want to signal weakness, so the moves are usually quiet — but those quiet shifts can indicate which side dealers are leaning, and where their hedging may show up on the tape.
Our proprietary short-squeeze signal — and a crowd favorite in the community.
The Honey Badger flags conditions historically associated with short squeezes, built on our proprietary short-interest and dealer-positioning data. In our internal backtest it printed a 90% win rate*, and it's one of the most-watched signals among BigShort members.
*Based on internal backtesting. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
An indication that market makers may be short in size — and under pressure.
Short Exempt orders are marked when a market maker shorts without a locate — almost always to hedge existing exposure. Clusters of these prints can indicate where dealers are short and under pressure. When those shorts get covered, the buying has often pushed price higher.
Find the closest historical analogues to today's price action — and see what happened next.
Similarity Search scans years of intraday data to surface the days that most closely match the shape of the current session. Overlay the analogues, see the median path, and quantify the range of likely outcomes — pattern-recognition with statistical backing instead of pure intuition.
See options blocks, sweeps, and splits in real-time, overlaid onto the SmartFlow chart for faster decision making. Dark pool transactions are also visualized, making support and resistance levels easy to spot.

BigShort tracks insider purchases and sales across major companies — and plots them directly on the chart, at the price and time they happened, so you can see them in context with flow, dark pool prints, and price action.
Monitor directors, CEOs, CFOs, and officers. See who is adding size. See who is reducing exposure.
Dark pools are where large orders execute quietly — and the majority of all U.S. equities volume now trades off-exchange, out of sight of the public tape. BigShort surfaces those prints across major stocks so you can see what the tape isn't showing you.
Large funds cannot enter positions in one click. Dark pool clusters can highlight potential support and resistance, show where size is trading away from on-screen price, and provide context on institutional positioning.
See the forces behind every move.
