POWERED BY ORAKL Badges

Advanced algorithmic classification system that identifies institutional options flow patterns in real-time. Each badge represents a specific type of smart money activity with proven accuracy rates.

Badge Intensity Levels & Premium Classification

Premium Threshold System

$500K Premium Threshold

The $500K premium threshold serves as the dividing line between standard directional bets and institutional-scale activity. This threshold identifies when smart money is deploying significant capital with high conviction.

Standard Tags (< $500K)
  • Aggressive Buy - Regular bullish positioning
  • Bearish Bet - Standard bearish directional play
  • • Retail and smaller institutional activity
  • • Normal market participation levels
"Very" Tags (≥ $500K)
  • Very Aggressive Buy - Institutional whale activity
  • Very Bearish Bet - Large-scale bearish conviction
  • • Major institutional capital deployment
  • • High-conviction positioning with market impact

Market Significance

When premiums exceed $500K, it typically indicates institutional traders with proprietary information, significant market catalysts, or major hedging requirements. These "Very" tags help distinguish between routine directional trading and potentially market-moving institutional activity.
