About BigShort
What is BigShort?
BigShort is a real-time charting and analytics platform that shows the forces behind price movements, including institutional order flow, options flow, dark pool prints, and dealer hedging. It aggregates complex market data into clear visual indicators, helping traders see accumulation, distribution, and potential reversals before they happen.
What problem does it solve?
Traditional price and volume indicators often lag behind or fail to capture what large institutional players are doing. BigShort solves this by providing real-time flow analytics—such as SmartFlow, Net Options Flow, and Dark Pool levels—so traders can spot hidden trends and make more informed decisions.
Who is it for?
BigShort is designed for individual traders, swing traders, and position traders who want an edge in the markets. It is also suitable for professional and institutional users through its Pro tier. It is not for beginners looking for a basic charting tool—it requires some understanding of market dynamics and options flow.
Use cases
Use BigShort to identify whether institutions are accumulating or distributing a stock, gauge sentiment in options markets, spot dark pool support/resistance levels, and track momentum from discretionary traders. It works on all NYSE and Nasdaq tickers in real-time, making it a comprehensive tool for daily trading and longer-term positioning.
Key features
- Flow Analytics — Visualize real-time institutional order flow to spot hidden accumulation/distribution.
- SmartFlow — Tracks institutional order flow with a statistically significant edge, giving you a head start.
- Net Options Flow — Aggregates options transactions into a directional read per symbol and for the broader market.
- Dark Pools — Identifies large block trades that create support/resistance levels below and above price.
- MomoFlow — See when discretionary traders are chasing moves and when they may break out.
- Dealer Hedging — Understand dealer positioning and its impact on price.
- Signals & Patterns — Includes Honey Badger and Mongoose signals for swing and position traders.
