Built by traders, for traders.
Founded 2024 by Ralph Linson, an active options trader based in Cleveland, OH.
Real-time institutional flow, graded and delivered in seconds.
Profit Builders is an institutional options flow scanner covering U.S. listed-options market activity in real time — not a delayed or resold feed. Every print runs through a documented, multi-factor classification process, and only the ones that clear it are surfaced as QUALIFIED — separating real institutional conviction from noise, hedges, and rolls.
We were tired of guessing.
Ralph built Profit Builders after finding that off-the-shelf flow scanners surfaced thousands of prints a day without grading any of them for conviction. Raw contract count — the metric most aggregator feeds weight — is a weak signal on its own; it ignores premium size and fill aggression, which is why so many scanners get direction wrong. Profit Builders filters flow through data-derived PASS rules, regime-aware thresholds, and real-time Greeks enrichment before a signal ever reaches you.
Every signal classified. The methodology published.
Every signal's classification and metadata is published at /methodology along with outcome context for review — a transparency standard most scanners don't hold themselves to. Real-time options-flow classification since 2024. If that's the bar you hold tools to, see what Profit Builders looks like for serious retail traders.
