One-ticker scan
What traded in your ticker’s options?
Start with one symbol instead of a market-wide tape. Get its available session summary, largest prints and call-versus-put premium context before deciding whether to investigate further.
Free and Pro include the same tools. Free data is 15 minutes delayed; Pro is real-time. Seven-day Pro trial. The public scanner needs no account.
A report connects the session summary to the size and contract details underneath it. Run a new scan to check the session and freshness currently available.

Check the coverage first
Read the report’s session and delayed-data label before treating it as a current market view.

Look beyond the lean
A call-heavy premium share is only one part of the report. Compare total premium, the largest print and the sweep/block mix.

Try it with a familiar symbol
The public scanner needs no account. A quiet or limited report should stay quiet or limited, not be filled with unrelated trades.
Keep the example in context. The screenshot is a saved report, not a current MSFT quote or a complete market record. Premium share is descriptive, not a probability or recommendation.
What you can investigate
Less guessing. More context to inspect.
The session, summarized
Total premium, the call-versus-put lean, the largest print and the sweep/block split — the day's recorded activity in four numbers.
The prints behind it
Every number traces back to the prints that produced it, so a summary is never more confident than its tape.
Honest when it's quiet
A quiet session is a real answer. If a ticker had nothing going on, the report says so — it never borrows another symbol's prints to look busy.
Your first session
A practical place to start.
Use the public scanner for a quick symbol report. Continue into Ticker Lookup and Options Surfer in the dashboard for deeper per-name research.
- 01
Type a ticker
One input. The scanner pulls the session's recorded options activity for that symbol only.
- 02
Read the lean
The flow-lean bar shows where premium actually went — calls versus puts — derived from the prints, not a forecast.
- 03
Check the size
Total premium and the largest print tell you whether the lean was carried by real size or by scattered small trades.

The fields, without the mystery.
How to read the fields
- Call/put premium
- This split summarizes recorded contract activity. It is not the probability of a price move.
- Largest print and execution mix
- Use these to see whether an aggregate is concentrated in a few prints or distributed across the session.
- Session and freshness
- Check which session the report covers. Free market data is 15 minutes delayed; a completed-session summary is not a fresh live quote.
Connect the steps
Start with a symbol you know. Read the session summary, inspect the prints behind its largest values, then compare the report with the dashboard rather than treating one score as a decision.
What this cannot tell you
A quiet report is not evidence that no trading occurred anywhere. The report covers the activity available to this product; it is neither an exhaustive market record nor an investment recommendation.
