OptionsHawk

Options flow analysis, unusual activity detection, and strategy evaluation for equities and ETFs.

What it does

OptionsHawk monitors and analyzes options market activity to surface actionable trading intelligence, including:

• Unusual activity detection — identify large or out-of-the-ordinary options trades that may signal institutional positioning or informed flow
• Flow analysis — track put/call ratios, volume vs open interest, and net premium by strike and expiration
• Sweep detection — flag aggressive multi-exchange sweep orders that indicate urgency from large buyers
• Strategy identification — recognize spreads, straddles, strangles, and other multi-leg structures in the flow
• Earnings plays — analyze pre-earnings options positioning, implied move vs historical move, and skew shifts

Usage

Ask your agent to analyze options flow and activity:

• "Show me the biggest unusual options activity today across all equities"
• "What is the put/call ratio and net premium flow for AAPL this week?"
• "Alert me when there are sweep orders over $1M on any tech stock"
• "Analyze the options skew for TSLA heading into earnings"
• "What are the most active strikes and expirations for SPY right now?"

Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

• OPTIONSHAWK_API_KEY — API key for OptionsHawk. Used to authenticate requests for options flow data, unusual activity alerts, and strategy analysis.
• OPTIONSHAWK_ALERT_THRESHOLD — (optional) minimum premium in USD to trigger unusual activity alerts. Defaults to 500000.
