Professional-grade unusual options activity and dark pool data for retail traders.
Cheddar Flow is a high-performance market intelligence platform designed to bridge the data gap between institutional desks and retail traders. By leveraging a high-frequency data pipeline that monitors the Options Price Reporting Authority (OPRA) feed, Cheddar Flow identifies 'smart money' movements through unusual options activity, block trades, and dark pool prints. The technical architecture focuses on real-time stream processing, where proprietary algorithms filter noise to highlight high-conviction orders (Sweeps) that signal potential market volatility. In the 2026 market, Cheddar Flow remains a leader by integrating advanced predictive analytics into its 'Power Alerts' engine, which correlates historical flow patterns with current order velocity. The platform's UI is optimized for low-latency delivery, providing sub-second updates via WebSockets. It caters specifically to day traders and swing traders who require granular insights into institutional positioning, enabling users to track sector rotation, volume spikes, and unusual contract sizes that often precede major price movements in the underlying equity markets.
