NVDA Dominated April 20 — $316M in Institutional Flow

NVDA didn't share the tape on April 20. It owned it. Meanwhile, something was quietly building in TSLA that the summary numbers alone don't capture.

The Tape

$3.54B in total premium crossed the wire. 7,749 signals. 391 of them Grade A. The buy/sell split landed at 63% buy — $2.24B on the buy side against $1.30B in sells. VIX sat at 18.9. Not panicked. Not complacent. Clean conditions for directional positioning.

Tech absorbed the bulk of it — $564.1M across 1,403 signals. Consumer ran second at $128.1M. Everything else was a footnote.

NVDA drew $316.3M across 190 signals. That's not noise. TSLA pulled $85.5M across 875 signals — the signal count alone flags something unusual, and the structure behind it tells a fuller story. MU saw $33.7M across 177 signals, a quiet level of conviction that didn't need to announce itself. Several other names drew meaningful flow — the scanner flagged the full list in real time.

What Stood Out

A $6.0M block on RCL calls. Single print. 25-day horizon. Block structure, not a sweep — someone wasn't in a hurry, but they weren't hedging either. That print fired clean against a tape that was already leaning buy-side in consumer.

A $5.8M print on PLTR came in as a put sell — $145 strike, 59 DTE. At that size, that structure, that expiry, it reads as premium collection with a defined view. Not retail.

Two other Grade A prints above $3M also fired Monday. Subscribers saw them in real time.

The Pattern

TSLA told a story all day — and it took repetition to hear it. Four separate contracts saw accumulation of 60+ hits each. One contract logged 80 entries totaling $5.3M. Another hit 68 entries for $5.0M. A third reached 63 hits, also $5.3M. A fourth ran 66 entries for $4.6M.

That's not one trader making a move. That's a pattern of repeated entries into the same structure, broken into pieces, executed across hours. The contracts, strikes, and exact timing — those are in the live feed. But the shape of it was unmistakable by midday.

The scanner flagged 391 Grade A signals on April 20. This recap covers the surface.

The Receipts

Positions flagged by the scanner. Already closed.

• AVGO calls — +464%
• MSFT calls — +407%
• MSFT calls — +399%

Three prints. Three exits. The entries came from the same flow data this recap is summarizing — Grade A signals with structure, size, and timing that separated them from the noise. The strikes and expirations that generated those returns were visible to subscribers at the moment they crossed.

The rest of the tape told its own story. MRVL drew $22.3M across 66 signals. NFLX saw $14.9M across 50 — concentrated, not scattered. Two other eight-figure blocks hit names not detailed here.
