To our members,
Cboe is discontinuing a product that sits at the core of how FlowAlgo processes its data. We've been hard at work building its replacement, but we've come to the conclusion that it simply won't be ready in time. It needs more testing, and until that's complete, we can't confidently stand behind the data we'd be delivering to you.
And that confidence is what FlowAlgo was built on.
Many of the flow tools that have emerged over the years simply pass data from a raw feed straight to your screen, without accounting for how misleading that data can be. Hedges and non-directional orders get flagged as significant bets, leaving traders buried in alerts with little way to distinguish meaningful activity from noise.
We've never approached flow that way.
We understand the mechanics behind the orders, not just the numbers on the screen. Every piece of data FlowAlgo receives passes through our intelligence layer, where multiple levels of analysis, filtering, and verification work together to distinguish meaningful activity from market noise. The result is carefully curated flow data designed to surface what matters most.
Less noise, more signal.
That same approach is why rebuilding our data pipeline is taking longer than expected. Every layer needs to be rebuilt, tested, and validated. We're not willing to cut corners just to keep the platform running.
So we've made the difficult decision to temporarily take FlowAlgo offline rather than deliver data we can't fully stand behind.
We were already building an entirely new version of FlowAlgo for 2027. Rather than bring back the current platform only to transition everyone again a few months later, we've decided to put our full attention into launching the new one.
The new platform will bring more customizable filtering, real-time notifications, new analysis tools, and much more. We're also introducing FlowAlgo Human, an entirely new product we've been quietly developing. We're keeping the details under wraps for now. There's a lot more in development that we're not quite ready to share, but we're excited about what's ahead.
One transition, one new platform, and a better FlowAlgo when we return.
Setting the Standard Since 2017
In 2017, FlowAlgo took options order flow off institutional trading desks and put it in the hands of everyday traders. Much of what the industry now takes for granted started here.
We coined the "Golden Sweep"
A name for the highest-conviction sweeps that became part of every flow trader's vocabulary.
We decoded dark pools
We documented how darkpool prints work and how they reveal real support and resistance levels.
We defined unusual flow
We built the framework for separating orders that matter from the noise.
We set the standard for the dashboard
A clean, real-time layout that became the blueprint for a generation of flow tools.
Many companies have followed in our footsteps since those early days. That comes with going first. Stay tuned:
We're about to do it again.
Thank you for being part of FlowAlgo and for sticking with us for nearly 10 years. We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you in 2027.
