tellmefrankie Options Flow Analyzer
Analyze options chain data with real vs lottery call separation — the key insight that prevents P/C ratio misinterpretation. Uses Polygon.io API.
What it does
Standard P/C ratio analysis is misleading. A P/C of 0.35 looks "extremely bullish" but may be 84% lottery calls ($0.01-$0.09 OTM options).
This skill separates:
- Real calls: Strike price within 5% of stock price, meaningful premium
- Lottery calls: Deep OTM, cheap premium, speculative bets
- Real puts: Actual hedging activity
- Lottery puts: Cheap downside bets
Analysis Output
For each ticker:
- Real P/C ratio (excludes lottery noise)
- Lottery percentage (what % of volume is speculation)
- Per-expiry breakdown (weekly vs monthly vs LEAPS)
- Anomaly detection: P/C shifts >0.3, Call OI surges >30%, IV spikes >20%
- Sentiment classification: Bullish/Bearish/Neutral with confidence

Key Discovery
This real/lottery separation was discovered during live portfolio management when RXRX showed P/C 0.35 (looks extremely bullish) but was actually 84% lottery calls at $0.01-$0.09. The "bullish signal" was noise. This skill prevents that mistake.
