Options Flow, Graded by Rules You Can Actually Check

Q: How is this different from a black-box options flow score?

Most flow tools assign a proprietary score or letter grade without publishing what it means. Profit Builders publishes clear classification labels (QUALIFIED/PASS) plus a public log of resolved-trade outcomes, so you can judge signal quality from real results rather than trusting a badge.

Q: Is the classification methodology actually public?

Yes -- how Profit Builders evaluates and classifies options activity, what QUALIFIED and PASS mean, and the platform's outcome data are all published at /methodology. The specific internal rule thresholds are not published, to protect the classification process from being reverse-engineered.

Every signal Profit Builders surfaces is classified through a consistent, multi-factor, rules-based process — trade characteristics, contract context, execution behavior, liquidity, and activity patterns — with the classification labels, outcomes, and limitations published at /methodology. Not an opaque score you're asked to trust.

02 / 06The process

How classification works, at a glance

Profit Builders evaluates trade characteristics, contract context, execution behavior, liquidity, and activity patterns through a consistent, rules-based process — not a subjective score. We don't publish the exact rule thresholds behind that process, since that's the part of the system we keep proprietary. What we do publish, at /methodology, is what the process considers, what QUALIFIED and PASS mean, and outcome context for review.

03 / 06Classification

QUALIFIED vs. PASS

A signal that clears the classification process is QUALIFIED. One that doesn't — low execution urgency, a volume pattern that looks like closing rather than opening, activity consistent with market-maker hedging — is PASS, with the reason shown, and stays visible rather than disappearing. There's no third opaque tier; every signal is one or the other, and the reason is inspectable. Full explanation: what QUALIFIED and PASS mean.

04 / 06Auditability

A published methodology, not a marketed win rate

Classification and outcome context are published for review at /methodology. Profit Builders doesn't lead with a win-rate percentage; the emphasis is on how the classification works, so you can judge the signal quality yourself instead of trusting a badge.

05 / 06FAQ

What does “QUALIFIED” mean on Profit Builders?

A signal is classified QUALIFIED when it clears Profit Builders' rules-based classification process, which weighs trade characteristics, execution behavior, liquidity, and activity patterns together. Signals that don't clear it are classified PASS, with the reason shown. See how classification works at /methodology.
