Watches top 100 popular US stocks (mega caps, semis, leveraged ETFs, meme favorites, China ADRs, SaaS, crypto plays) for unusual flow happening RIGHT NOW (with Yahoo's 15-min delay). The scan only really matters during the last 30 min of regular trading (15:30–16:00 ET) when institutions print their end-of-day positioning.
⚡ Vol spike · latest bar $vol ≥2×/3×/5× prior-20-bar avg
σ Price spike · latest bar's pct move's Z-score ≥2σ/3σ/5σ. Catches front-running before size shows
🎯 Confluence · both vol AND price spiking → HIGHEST-confidence institutional print
⇈/⇊ Multi-bar trend · 3+ consecutive same-direction bars with elevated vol
❄ Stealth accumulation/distribution · vol high but price flat → institutions iceberg-ing
↥/↧ VWAP stretch · current price ≥2 ATR from VWAP → mean-revert candidate
📰 Catalyst · ticker in Yahoo trending list AND another signal active → news-driven
📊 P/C shift · current 0DTE put/call ratio drift ≥30% from 14:30 ET baseline (top 30 liquid options names)
⚡🅒/🅟 Options burst · per-minute call or put volume delta ≥2× prior-5 avg → real-time options flow surge
Yahoo's free tier is ~15 min delayed. The "Data as of HH:MM ET" pill in the topbar shows the actual market timestamp of the latest bar. To see the 30-min-pre-close institutional flow (market activity at 15:30–15:40 ET), this pill must read 15:30 or later — which happens at ~15:45 wall-clock (T-15). Anything before that shows pre-window data and is not actionable for the close-trade. Actionable window: 15:45–15:55 wall-clock = 10 minutes of fresh institutional bars + 5 min to execute in TV.
1. Open ahead of 15:30, toggle 🔔 Sound ON and 🔕 Notify ON. 2. Background tab — title flashes with new-event count. 3. At ~15:45 ET wall-clock, first institutional bars arrive — chips light up. 4. Watch for 🎯 confluence or ⚡🅟/🅒 options burst — those auto-fire sound + browser notification. 5. Click any chip → opens TradingView (real-time) for confirmation + execution. 6. After 15:58 ET wall-clock, too late to execute — go postmortem.
Each card = one stock with unusual late-day activity. Sorted by an intensity score that combines unusual volume AND price movement in the last 10 minutes of available data.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Big symbol (top-left) | Ticker. Click anywhere on the card to open it in TradingView (real-time). |
| ▲ / ▼ arrow (top-right) | Direction of price move in the last 10 minutes. ▲ green = UP, ▼ red = DOWN. |
| %change (middle-left) | How much the price moved across the late-window. Color matches the arrow. |
| N.N× pill (middle-right) | The INTENSITY score. Calculated as (late-vol-rate ÷ 1hr-ago baseline) × (1 + |price shift|/2). 2× = unusual, 4×+ = extreme. |
| #1, #2… (bottom-left) | Rank by intensity across the 100 tracked stocks. |
| Background line chart | Last ~60 min of price. Brighter / thicker on the right = the institutional window (last 10 min). Vertical dashed line marks where the institutional window begins. |
| X-axis labels | 60m ago on left → NOW on right. "NOW" here means ~15 min ago in real time (Yahoo delay). |
| Card border / glow | None = intensity below 1.5. Blue = ≥1.5 (watch). Amber = ≥2.5 (alert). Red pulsing = ≥4 (critical). |
| Direction tint | Background card has subtle green tint when up, red when down. Helps spot direction at a glance. |

Tracks aggregate $ premium + volume flowing into calls vs puts across SPY, QQQ, top mega-caps and top 30 liquid names, bucketed in 5-minute slices. Sudden changes (≥ 2σ spikes vs prior 5 buckets) are flagged as events. Use this to spot the moment institutions tilt bullish or bearish in the run-up to close.
| Sort | What it ranks by |
|---|---|
| Vol | bar_vol_spike = latest bar's $vol ÷ avg of prior 20 bars on the SAME ticker. "Is this minute unusually big for this name?" |
| Price σ | |bar_price_spike| = signed Z-score of latest bar's pct move vs std dev of prior 20 bars. "Did the price move further than usual for this ticker, even on quiet volume?" Sigma is signed → up vs down. |
| Confluence | bar_vol_spike × |bar_price_spike|. Both signals together is the HIGHEST-confidence "institution is printing right now" pattern. The 🎯 badge marks these. |
| Opt | max(call_burst, put_burst) = larger of the per-minute call-volume-delta-spike or put-volume-delta-spike. Top 30 liquid options names only. Bar-level options flow — NOT the baseline-shift signal (that's "P/C Shift" in the events band tabs). |
| Move | |pct_change| — absolute size of today's session move (first bar → latest). Catches grinders that didn't print one big spike but moved meaningfully over the day. |
| A–Z | Alphabetical by symbol. Reverse for Z–A. |
Click the same tab again to reverse direction (▼ descending → ▲ ascending). The ▼/▲ arrow shows current direction.

| Element | What it means · how it's calculated |
|---|---|
| Symbol top-left | Ticker (e.g. AAPL, NVDA). Click to open in TradingView for real-time. |
| ±N% top-right | Today's session % move (open → latest close). Green up, red down. |
| ⚡ N.Nx badge | VOLUME SPIKE — the most recent bar's dollar-volume divided by the average of the prior 20 bars. ≥2× = unusual, ≥3× = alert (amber border), ≥5× = critical (pulsing red). Detects "institutional print just happened." |
| σ ↑↓ N.N badge | PRICE Z-SCORE — by how many standard deviations the latest bar's price move deviates from this ticker's recent norm. ≥2σ = unusual move, ≥3σ = alert, ≥5σ = critical. Catches stealth front-running BEFORE the size shows up. |
| 🎯 badge | CONFLUENCE — vol spike AND price spike firing together. Highest-confidence signal. Almost always = real institutional buying or selling, not noise. |
| V N.Nx stat | Same as ⚡ badge but stated explicitly. V = Vol spike multiplier. |
| P ±N.Nσ stat | Same as σ badge but stated explicitly with sign. P = Price Z-score in sigmas. |
| 🅒 N.Nx options row | CALL BURST — per-minute change in call-option volume vs prior 5-snapshot average. Only top 30 options-liquid names. Bullish pressure when high. |
| 🅟 N.Nx options row | PUT BURST — same for puts. Bearish pressure when high. |
| Background chart | Most recent ~30 close prices. Direction shown by color (green up, red down). |
| Tile glow / border | Blue = ≥2× spike. Amber = ≥3×. Red pulsing = ≥5×. |
