What is unusual options flow in TTD?

Prints in The Trade Desk options that stand out from normal activity: large premium, aggressive fills at the ask, high volume against open interest. RadarPulse scores every TTD trade 0 to 100 so the unusual ones surface on their own.

Is this real-time data?

The public feed on this page replays the latest scored session and upgrades to delayed or real-time prints as market-data sources are connected. Inside the app the tape is scored live with the same engine.

Is TTD options flow bullish or bearish?

Neither on its own. The call-versus-put premium split on this page shows which side is paying up right now, but flow is a read on positioning, not a prediction. Heavy call premium in The Trade Desk means traders are paying for upside; a put-heavy tape means they are paying for protection or betting on a drop. RadarPulse shows the balance and scores the standout TTD prints so you can weigh the conviction behind it.

How often does the TTD options flow update?

This page replays the most recent scored session and refreshes every trading day. Inside the RadarPulse app the TTD tape is scored as prints land on the feed. That feed is 15-minute delayed on every plan and is never real time, so the edge here is the 0–100 unusualness score and which other records agree with it, not being first. Options activity is heaviest around the open, the close, and any The Trade Desk catalyst such as earnings or major news.

How the score works

Every print gets a 0 to 100 score from premium size, aggressiveness of the fill, volume versus open interest, time to expiry and how far the strike sits from the stock. A TTD sweep at the ask with big premium and short dating scores high. The full method is in the unusual options flow guide.

What unusual TTD options flow can tell you

Not every TTD options trade matters. What moves the needle is size and intent: a large premium order swept across the ask, a block printed far from the current price, or a burst of short-dated contracts ahead of a catalyst. When call premium dominates the TTD tape, traders are paying up for upside; when puts lead, they are paying for protection or positioning for a fall. The scored view on this page separates those standout orders from routine two-way flow, so you are reading intent rather than raw volume.

How to read the TTD tape

Start with the call-versus-put premium split at the top of the page: it is the fastest read on which way the day's money is leaning in The Trade Desk. Then look at the individual prints. A high score means real premium, an aggressive fill, and short dating relative to how far the strike sits from the stock, the combination that tends to lead a move rather than follow it. One large TTD sweep says more than a hundred small, evenly split orders. Because the same method runs on every name, a TTD score is directly comparable to any other ticker on the board.

Why traders watch TTD

The Trade Desk is the ad-tech leader whose chain moves fast around earnings. That is exactly why its options chain draws attention: liquid, active names give the clearest read on where conviction is building, and their flow often moves before the headlines catch up. RadarPulse keeps the most unusual TTD prints from the latest session next to Congressional trades and 13F filings on the same tickers, so you can see when more than one kind of smart money lines up on TTD.

TTD and the ai and software stocks

TTD sits in the ai and software stocks group, the software, cloud and cybersecurity names driving the AI platform shift. Traders often watch the whole cluster together, since a strong, one-sided bid in one name can front-run a rotation the rest follow. When unusual TTD flow shows up, it is worth checking whether the same conviction is printing across peers like MSFT, GOOGL, GOOG, or in the ETFs that carry the theme (XLK, QQQ, ARKK). RadarPulse scores every one of them on the same 0 to 100 scale, so the read is apples to apples across the ai and software stocks.
