Client notes
What traders and desk leads said after working through options flow and trade context with us.
Helen R., discretionary equity trader, Leeds — Options Flow BriefingThe Friday expiry note caught a put wall on a FTSE name I was leaning long. I still took the trade, but sized it down — that alone paid for the session.
Marcus T., prop desk, London — Options Flow BriefingUseful, though I wished we had spent five more minutes on the index skew before diving into single names. The written summary was clear and arrived before the US cash open.
Priya S., multi-asset PM, Edinburgh — Trade Context ReviewWe used the Trade Context Review after a messy earnings print. Hearing someone separate hedge-driven calls from fresh directional size stopped me from doubling into a story that was already in the price.
Owen K., co-founder, boutique prop, Birmingham — Expiry Week WatchExpiry Week Watch kept our two-person desk honest through triple witching. The mid-week call was brisk; the daily notes were the part we actually opened every morning.
Session story: concentrated book into March expiry
A Leeds-based trader arrived with four single-name longs and concern that call open interest above spot was “too quiet.” Over one Options Flow Briefing we mapped overnight prints against the prior week’s open interest and found most of the apparent calm was a roll from a nearer strike, not fresh demand.
The trader did not exit. They did reduce size in the name where put walls sat tight to the cash price and kept the rest. Two sessions later they booked an Expiry Week Watch for the following month — less for prediction, more for a daily habit of writing the flow down before reacting to it.
