An independent desk for serious options traders. We test the scanners, flow feeds, and dark-pool dashboards everyone is talking about— and tell you which ones actually move the needle.
After eight weeks of side-by-side testing against fourteen competing scanners, Skylit delivered the cleanest unusual-options-activity feed we've used—real-time alerts, transparent filters, and a sweep detector that doesn't drown you in noise.
Most "best options scanner" lists are ad pages dressed up as journalism. We aren't.
FlowSeekHQ is a one-desk publication run by a working options trader in the U.S. We pay for every tool we review out of our own pocket, test each platform on live markets for a minimum of four weeks, and publish findings in plain English—numbers, screenshots, receipts.
Our editorial standard is straightforward: no tool is recommended unless it survives our paper-trail test. If a scanner can't show the same alert in our broker's order book within sixty seconds, it doesn't make the issue.
We accept affiliate commissions only after a tool earns a spot in the issue—never before. Rankings are not for sale. Sponsored placements are not accepted, period.
If a recommended product later degrades, we say so in the next issue and pull the link. The archive stays public.
Affiliate disclosure. FlowSeekHQ may earn a commission when a reader signs up for a product through links on this page, including the link to Skylit. Commissions never influence our rankings, our editorial scoring, or whether a tool is selected as the issue's pick. We pay full price for every product we test and we reserve the right to remove any link, at any time, without notice to the partner.
Risk disclosure. FlowSeekHQ is not a registered investment adviser. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a solicitation to trade, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. Past performance of any tool, strategy, or trader is not indicative of future results.
