Claude Code scanner reveals true options sentiment by filtering retail noise

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The author details a custom options flow scanner built using Claude Code, which analyzes options chain data to identify unusual put/call ratios. The scanner applies a 'lottery filter' to remove out-of-the-money, low-premium calls, revealing true institutional sentiment. Notable signals from the week of May 12, 2026, included extreme bearish positioning in the industrial sector ETF (XLI) and misleadingly neutral readings for CEG and RXRX that inverted to bearish after filtering.
