Inside the desk
Walk through the desk below — the order-flow tape, surges, dealer positioning, the busiest names, and your own list. Each panel is an illustrative preview of a product screen; the values shown are examples, not market data.
The ordered stream of reported options trades, as the exchanges print them. Each row is one reported print — contract, size, premium, and how it executed — so you read the session as it happened, not a summary of it.

Not to scan. Type a ticker and you get a report. An account is what turns one report into a watchlist, alerts and a workspace you come back to.

Free accounts see reported options activity on a fifteen-minute delay, and it says so wherever data is shown. Real-time data is part of the Pro plan.
