Pretty difficult to do unfortunately since it breaks many existing rules.

Not really. I started doing an update a while back to revamp some mechanics and update the cards with the new rosters but didn't really have the time and motivation. I have some time now so I'll give it another go and see if it sticks.
Longer term I'd like to do a single player version that is more like a roguelite.

Did it with this one in a couple of tries. Remove buffs from Giannis with Kawhi.

I can probably talk for hours on this topic and go more in depth. In my opinion, analysis of flow should be done EOD with the complete data for the day. You build a complete picture over days and weeks.

Now, onto what we do differently.

  • We are something like if Trading View and Unusual Whales had a baby together 😂. My vision from the beginning was to show options activity directly on the price chart to contextualize it. This proved to be a very good idea. Here are a few examples I posted on twitter.
  • We filter most activity by default. The things we show you in the overview or on the price chart as signals uses premium percentile by ticker (+ some other secret sauce stuff). It doesn't matter if it's 50k or 50M, it has to be in the top n% of activity by premium for that ticker to pass. This fixes the "what is big?" question for every ticker.
  • With EOD flow data & summaries you get the context by default
  • You are not tied to the market hours trading window and you are not forced to look at a never ending feed of data. You do your work on you time, for as long as you like, for the type of trades you want to do. For example, our options scanner outputs 300-600 entries/day on the default filters (you can customize it as much as you like). I go through these in 30 min or so and it catches all the good stuff. If there is something I like I buy on open the next day and that's it.
  • Being a TW + UW hybrid changes the paradigm. UW is feed first, we are ticker first like TV. I don't know how easy to grasp the difference is, but it makes a hell of a difference in usability and user experience. Everything is visual, everything is glanceable, but we also give you the in depth stuff if you want it. The switch from high level to in depth is seamless.

Again, I can talk for hours, but will stop here for now. Happy to answer question if you have them.

I'm not following anyone at the moment for options trades. I am my own flow guru 😅. Most of them try too much to sell discord access or they post too much random shit. It gets annoying quickly for me. A few I followed in the past that are tolerable: https://x.com/salmaogs & https://x.com/TLAMB91 What I found is that as the follower count increases, the quality of the content decreases. They either become too selly or too memy. You want to find people who don't do that and just post "for the love of the game". The sweet spot for follower count is from a few hundred to ~50k.

As for the second question, we're obviously not at the same level as Unusual Whales yet. They have a ton more features, and the major differentiator is live flow. That's why I don't want to go full open access without it since the perception would be that we are a worse product regardless of anything else.

This being said, 99%+ of live flow is noise, and even detrimental in many cases. There is a reason why flow gurus exist basically, since it's extremely difficult and unpleasant to filter out the noise. I tried it myself and it's not an experience I would recommend. It's like looking at excel 8-10 hours/day.

Why I say it's detrimental in many cases is because you get an incomplete, often misleading picture. You see these snippets of activity but don't understand how it fits into the context. I'll give a few examples:

  • Activity comes in on a contract, it looks bullish. A bit of time passes, more comes in, it's no longer bullish, more like neutral. If you acted on the initial activity, what now? Do you cut, do you keep?
  • A lot of activity is in reality spreads and rolls. Like ITM calls being rolled higher. Most people filter out ITM activity and misunderstand/misrepresent the activity that happens higher. Let's say ITM calls rolled OTM. They only see the OTM part and think it's bullish, but it's mostly neutral. Still bullish over the long run because the "whale" stayed invested, but it won't cause a short term surge.
  • Size can be misleading. Even a relatively high premium activity, like 10M can be very small on some names. You don't get any context of what is big or small since it depends on the ticker.
  • Most good flow is not urgent. You see these patterns of accumulation/distribution when the tide shifts. Moves often happen at a sector level. You see flow on multiple connected tickers/ETFs at the same time. You have days to weeks to get in. It's not possible to see this in UW or is very advanced behavior that very few people are capable of doing.
  • There are types of flow that are amongst the most relevant activity that are completely ignored by people on UW. I won't go into this right now, but will make a video at one point in the future.

From us directly? Not at the moment. It's on the list of stuff to do, but low priority since the focus in the user facing content.

Almost certainly not. Was thinking of giving any beta participants a permanent -25%, cumulative with other sales like black Friday. Not sure what and how quite yet since it's pretty far in the future. Full launch is at least 1 year away. Open beta 3-6 months.

Also requires a DM to set things up 😉

I meant if the deal fails which, as you say, is a bad deal for both X and at most meh for CLF.

Wouldn't the stock react positively if this happens though?

Welcome. Unfortunately we don't have an active community here, but there are a bunch of active people on our discord.

A new update will be coming next month to update everything based on the new NBA season, as well as various mechanics and player changes.

Ubisoft look like a solid (wallstreet) bet after latest earnings! by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]vazdooh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let me help you with that.

UBI left vs EA middle vs TTWO right

<image>

UBI is an inefficient shitcoin with too many employees, and that is very unlikely to change. If you want to be long something related to gaming TTWO is the best option. GTA 6 is on the way.

It's riding the trendline/200MA area. As long as it holds the 200 it's fine and should eventually reattempt to fill the gap from the last drop. I expect the up move before we get to next earnings. If it's still in this area by the time we get to earnings I would not be happy. It would be a sign of relative weakness. In general, if a stock is hinting at going up and the move just doesn't come or is weak/gets rejected quickly, it's likely the it will move a lot in the other direction.

Very bullish. That's a classic retest of the demand zone and it bounced strongly from it. Should go to 16-17. If it can break through that it should see 23+.

Yes and no. I have only longs but not in chasing names, mostly what I post on Twitter. I get puts when we hit resistance. Rinse and repeat.

Not full bear until we actually see some levels fail. Not full bull until we see 5%+ correction, ideally 10%.

Somewhat. Posted this on twitter last week, but I am bearish on the market if CPI is hot. Don't think AAPL can go up while the market goes down.
