Reading Market Tide
See whether money is flowing into calls or puts through the day.
3 min readMarket Pages
Market Tide tracks the money going into call and put options across the market, minute by minute. Two lines tell the story: gold for calls and red for puts.
- Gold above red: more money is betting on gains.
- Red above gold: more money is betting on drops, or buying protection.
- The gap widening: conviction is growing in that direction.
Use the tabs to see sectors and funds, or the history of previous days. Select Alert Me When Puts Take the Lead to be told when the lines cross.
Good to know. Options money doesn't always mean direction. Big traders buy puts to protect stock they own, so treat the tide as one clue, not a forecast.
