AlphaScan-AI Release Notes: Version 2.0
January 2026 | New Features & Institutional-Grade Analysis
We are excited to announce a major update to AlphaScan-AI. This release transforms the platform from a standard data scanner into a personalized strategy hub, giving you the same analytical power used by institutional trading desks.
1. Personalized Experience
-
Custom User Profiles: You can now create a personal account to save your settings and preferences.
-
Dynamic Watchlists: Track your favorite tickers in a dedicated view, ensuring you never miss a whale move on the stocks you trade most.
2. Advanced Flow Filtering
Take control of the "noise" in the options market with our new granular filters:
-
Volume Filtering: Set a minimum threshold to only see trades with significant size.
-
VOL/OI Ratio: Identify high-conviction "opening" positions by filtering for trades where volume exceeds Open Interest.
-
Smart Auto-Refresh: Keep your data fresh with customizable intervals ranging from 1 to 15 minutes.
3. Featured Update: Instant AI Trade Analysis
You no longer have to guess why a whale is buying a deep ITM call. With one click, our AlphaScan AI analyzes any contract on the board to provide:
-
Strategy Identification: Distinguish between hedges, speculative bets, and stock replacement strategies.
-
Capital Commitment: Real-time calculation of notional premium and its significance.
-
Market Sentiment: A data-driven outlook on the underlying stock based on institutional flow.
Deep Dive: Analysis Example
See how our AI interpreted a massive $300M trade in UNH:
The Trade: UNH $185 CALLs (20,690 Contracts) AI Takeaway: This represents an aggressive bullish directional bet. By utilizing a deep In-The-Money strike, the institution is employing a stock substitution strategy—capturing 1.0 Delta exposure with higher capital efficiency than buying the shares outright. This signals extreme long-term conviction in UnitedHealth Group’s fundamental strength.

Mastering AlphaScan-AI: A Step-by-Step Guide
Welcome to the new standard in options flow. This guide will show you how to use our institutional-grade tools to filter out the noise and find "The Smart Money."
1. Building Your Watchlist
Start by focusing on the tickers you actually trade.
-
Step: Log into your User Profile.
-
Action: Add tickers to your Watchlist.
-
Benefit: Your scanner will now prioritize these stocks, ensuring you never miss a whale entering your favorite positions.
2. Using the VOL/OI Filter (The "Golden Sweep" Finder)
This is the most powerful tool in your arsenal. Volume (VOL) represents trades today; Open Interest (OI) represents positions held overnight.
-
The Strategy: Set your Minimum VOL/OI Ratio to 1.2x or higher.
-
What it means: When Volume is significantly higher than Open Interest, it almost always signals new, aggressive positioning.
-
Pro Tip: Look for a high VOL/OI ratio combined with a high Minimum Volume filter to find "Golden Sweeps"—massive new bets that are being opened in real-time.
3. Setting Your Auto-Refresh
Don't get left behind by stale data.
-
Step: Click the Settings gear on the scanner.
-
Action: Choose a refresh interval between 1 and 15 minutes.
-
Benefit: High-speed traders should stay at 1 minute, while swing traders may prefer 10–15 minutes to see the "bigger picture" develop.
4. Running an AI Trade Analysis
Stop guessing the "Why" behind a trade.
-
Step: Click on any specific options contract in the scanner list.
-
Action: Select "Analyze with AI".
-
What you get:
-
Strategy Breakdown: Is it a hedge or a speculative bet?
-
Capital Impact: How much "skin in the game" does the institution have?
-
Sentiment Score: Is the flow overall Bullish or Bearish?
-
