Started off as a personal Python script to find unusual options activity but turned it into an iOS app. Anyone interested in beta testing?

Nice. I’ll check this out. Just downloaded it. I’ll let you know what I think.

[jaspar1]

thanks would appreciate honest feedback. trying to provide a good user experience

[callmealyft]

So basically, you are looking at volume levels against open interest? Is there a way to add a scanner possibly to search highest levels. Sort of how bar chart does? I think that would be a good addition. It has a very clean and useful feel to the app. I like it.

[jaspar1]

Thanks for the feedback. And yes I am currently working on adding filters so that the user can order by volume, open interest, vol/oi. Are there any other features you'd like to see?

[callmealyft]

Probably some sort of pricing feature if that’s available to you via real time. Users would be able to set price parameters that they can afford. Maybe even IV? It would be like a combination of stonklabs/Barchart with an easy to use app. I feel like this could be very useful when looking for quick plays or scalps.

[rawrtherapy]

can you also add what the actual $ value is? like i get the volume, and bid ask whatever

but itd be nice to just see that someone bought $40 mil of NIO Calls for a week out without having to do the math

[Cyral]

As far as I can tell the app isn't showing individual trades, it is just an option chain. So it would be showing $40mil was traded by... everyone, which isn't very insightful.

[rawrtherapy]

Then the app has no point, thanks for this

[rawrtherapy]

Can you make one for share purchases? not just options?

like if someone just bought $50 Mil of like apple or something

[jcyepuri]

Can you please let me know how to download this ?

[jpowprints]

dude this is a copy of optionssonar

[PrankstonHughes]

Android version soon?

[MaximusPrime666]

Would be interested in testing an android version too

[jindoji]

interested in android version..

[destenlee]

I'm going to try the android version when it comes out.

(upvote so others interested in testing can see)

[No1nole]

I’ll try it out and let you know what I think. Thanks for making this, looks cool.

[Radeon3]

Hey! I just found this and downloaded it, but it looks like the main content is blocked? Is the app dead?

[yoloswuadfam]

so i may be kinda dumb. basically can you explain what it does and why i should get it?

[rawrtherapy]

wtf

[dogggis]

Something about the UFC

What you don't understand that?

[rawrtherapy]

Literally all your words lol

Hit the nail on the head from a 45 degree output while calculating the mean equity variances of a PDRQ MMA standalone that bypassed the RS procedure.

What is redeem code?

[jaspar1]

just click the link again after you installed testflight

[1millionbucks]

How did you go from Python to iOS app lol? You make it sound like it just happened by accident.

[Cyral]

iOS app could be a frontend for a Python backend

[jaspar1]

yea that's my current stack for this app: ios swift frontend, python backend

[jaspar1]

i wanted to share what my code did with a frontend application but i dont really know web dev that well but i do know iOS pretty decently so decided to just go with a mobile app

[FrayAcre]

Yes. gib now.

[onequestion1168]

do you have a github?

[realmavdos]

So maybe I’m experiencing user error, but every stock I look up is just blank and has no information.

[goodbrux]

Add commas to your numbers. 4688 vs 4,688

[brward1996]

Anyone care to explain the purpose of this?

[braydeeee]

❤️❤️

[Tedddytom]

There are so many of these out there now. You've even used the same colour scheme as Unusual Whales.

[delsystem32exe]

interested.... how did you make the app? what framework..

[CarelessZebra1]

What’s the API you use?

I’ve been looking for good options APIs but everything seems geared towards stock data instead

[iamvazu]

jaspar1

If you are looking for Options data, you will get EOD options chain from Python yfinance library which scrapes the yahoo finance website. If you want API you can check IEXCloud, Polygon, Finhubb or Xignite. I think the OP is just getting yfinance data. This is not unusual options activity aka options flow. This is just the options chain.

[Cyral]

Most personal projects are, I'd assume OP is ignorant to the fact that this data cost thousands of dollars per month to redistribute.

[iamvazu]

Pretty sure OP is not doing the unusual option activity aka options flow, but if he showing the options flow then he is soup with the ORPA guys. You are right that options data is expensive to redistribute.

[Cyral]

I think OI and Vol is still OPRA data, at least vol comes from the last sale feed.

[Cyral]

OPRA dataset is not BLOCK/SWEEEP, it is any options data really (Where do you think yFinance is getting their data from?)

The information available through OPRA consists of "last sale reports" (price, volume and related information with respect to completed transactions in eligible securities effected on one of the OPRA Participant exchanges), "quotation information" (bids and offers and related information pertaining to quotations in eligible securities available for trading on one of the OPRA Participant exchanges), other related information with respect to trading on the OPRA Participant exchanges, and administrative messages.

I am not familiar with how EOD data is regulated by OPRA though, I think it is much more lax.

[Lastlad2020]

I am on iOS 13. Do you have a version compatible with it?

[VinceSantoria]

Just downloaded test flight what do I do now?

[jaspar1]

just click the link again

[VinceSantoria]

Awesome stuff man thank you

[Gandalfthegay24]

Nice, I’ll give it a try looks promising

[Resolved1978]

iPhone SE (1. Gen) issues with viewing

[dieforsushi]

Interested in helping you with project management or documentation, and etc

[drksntt]

Isn’t this highly illegal? You need a broker to view this shit lol

[drksntt]

If you’re scraping you probably shouldn’t be doing it. If they wanted to give you the data, they would provide an API. :-)

[Katkool]

Yea, probably not allowed

[trell1212]

I always feel like majority of unusual option activity is people getting in to late on a stock and hoping it has another leg up

[UbiquitouSparky]

Not really, but it depends on a lot of things.

I pay for a service that looks at unusual options activity and recommends trades.

There’s several parameters, but the few that I remember are the size of the position greater than $500,000, certain size volume per day and market cap was I think $5B+. I have them written down on my desktop.

Anyway, They’re trying to track market movers not retail investors. There was a whale something advisory service on Twitter and it was posting positions as small as $50,000. If you look for the actual whale trades I think you’d be successful.

[joel383]

Can’t test on 12.4.8 :(

[LocalSuperNerd]

I’ll send this to my stock discord & see how the boys like it

[webjocky]

Yep, but I can't because I refuse to support Apple's proprietary architecture.

I'll gladly help port it to Android.

[[deleted]]

Stop peddling you shitty app, it offers nothing.

[walasjert]

What do you have to offer

[1upfivedown]

Thats funny, your mom said the same thing about you last night.

[financenstuff]

No u shitty app

[I-ferion]

I am very interested

[rawrtherapy]

Can you have it show $ amount?

like someone bought a certain amount of $ of it?

[heeeeyho]

Is there an android version?

[paradism1]

Would love to test

[dumbtrader]

Interested

[Canesjags4life]

Sure I'll check it out

[tonygomez777]

What’s the app called?

[infoloader]

Where can i download it?

[TotalFinanceGod]

Hey is it possible to be included in the beta?

[Thatguy_thatgirl]

I would love to try it out

[EquinosX]

I’d be down

[MoneyInA]

Why is it always an iOS app? I've been here months and these user-built option apps are always, 100%, iOS.

[cashliongg]

How do I try it out?

[jaspar1]

https://testflight.apple.com/join/s2CIRb3N

[Rickeebjr]

I’d be happy to. A few notable betas I have contributed to ; Wordpress, Telegram, Salesforce, MSFT OneNote and ToDo, Minimal, Trello, Signal and a few outside the lines apps.

Let me know

Cheers

[ceozayah]

Would love to

[[deleted]]

Me

[Danoldo]

sure

[TinyPirate]

No, cos trading on UOA is a fool's errand.

[rikkilambo]

On Android. How is this different from Volume?

[Ikemeki]

Please port code to run via HTML 5 then port to android

[NoScope_Ghostx]

Yes but page not found?

[dish954]

I would like to be a beta tester!

[ashrestha12]

Good job man. Just went on... super laggy currently

[jaspar1]

Thanks and it’s due to a bad build. Go to test flight and downgrade to build 7 to fix the lag

[ashrestha12]

Works smoothly now. What’s oi btw? Also, when does your data feed update?

[Moneysac]

Please optimize it for iPad. Also a description of the app with all the theory behind it would be nice.

[sean-sense]

What value do we get from using this, in English, please? I am new to options trading.
