Options Trading Brain#

Professional options trading intelligence system combining 5 analysis dimensions into one unified signal.

The 5 Inputs (Signal Requires 3+ Aligned)#

1. Whale Flow (Unusual Whales)#

• Filter: $25K+ premium, sweep/block executions, ask-side fills
• Hierarchy: sweeps > blocks > splits > single fills
• Bullish: calls at ask + volume > OI; Bearish: puts at ask + volume > OI

2. Elliott Wave#

• Wave 3 = strongest momentum entry
• Wave 5 = exhaustion warning
• Rules: Wave 2 can't retrace Wave 1; Wave 3 not shortest; Wave 4 can't overlap Wave 1

3. Bollinger Bands#

• Squeeze (BB width < 2% of price) = volatile expansion imminent
• Band thrust through upper/lower = strong momentum continuation
• Position near bands = overbought/oversold reversal candidates

4. Multi-Timeframe Trend#

• ADX > 25 = confirmed trend
• MA alignment (price > MA20 > MA50) = uptrend confirmed
• Weekly/Daily must align for high conviction

5. Liquidity Zones#

• 4-layer strike walls: OI concentration + GEX + PCR + Max Pain proximity
• Max Pain = where max options expire worthless (gravity level)
• Support = cluster of put OI below price; Resistance = call OI above

Usage#

Run any script directly:

bash

python scripts/whale_scanner.py SPY
python scripts/elliott_wave.py NVDA
python scripts/bollinger_analyzer.py TSLA
python scripts/signal_generator.py --ticker AAPL

Or run all 5 inputs together:

bash

python scripts/signal_generator.py --ticker NVDA
