# Real-Time Options Flow & Off-Exchange Analysis
This repository contains a real-time market-flow analysis platform focused on **options flow**, **off-exchange equity trades**, and **inferred institutional behavior**, built for low-latency, explainable analysis rather than black-box signals.
This repository contains a Bun + TypeScript monorepo for a personal-use, event-sourced market microstructure research platform focused on:
The system ingests real-time options trades/quotes and equity prints, clusters raw activity into higher-level flow events (sweeps, spreads, rolls, ladders), applies rule-first classifiers, and visualizes the results through a high-performance, TradingView-smooth interface with full replay and backtesting support.
- options prints + NBBO,
- off-exchange equity prints,
- explainable rule-based flow classification,
- deterministic replay,
- evidence-linked UI inspection.
## CURRENT STATE (Plan Progress)
## Current Implementation Status
Plan progress (rough): [#####-----]
Implemented now:
Done now (in repo):
- Bun monorepo + infra docker compose (ClickHouse, Redis, NATS JetStream)
- Shared event schemas + logging + config helpers
- Synthetic options/equity prints (full S&P 500) published to NATS and persisted to ClickHouse
- Deterministic option FlowPacket clustering (time window) + persistence
- Rolling stats in Redis (premium/size/spread) with z-score features on FlowPackets
- FlowPacket structure tags (vertical/ladder/straddle/strangle) for multi-leg bursts
- Aggressor mix features (NBBO placement ratios) on FlowPackets
- Rule-first classifiers + alert scoring with ClickHouse persistence + WS/REST endpoints
- Structure packet emission with full constituent evidence + roll metadata
- Roll classifier surfaced from detected multi-leg roll structures
- API: REST for prints/flow packets/classifier hits/alerts, WS for live options/equities/flow/alerts/hits, replay endpoints
- API: equities prints range query endpoint for chart overlays and drill-down
- UI: live tapes for options/equities/flow + replay toggle + pause controls + replay time/completion
- UI: alerts + classifier hits panels, ticker filter, evidence drawer, severity strip
- UI chart overlays for off-exchange equity prints + classifier/dark markers with linked evidence drawer behavior
- Databento historical replay adapter (options) with symbol mapping
- Alpaca options adapter (dev-only, bounded contract list)
- Alpaca equities adapter (stocks trades/quotes via WS)
- IBKR options adapter (single-underlying bridge via `ib_insync`)
- Dark-pool-style inference (absorbed blocks, stealth accumulation, distribution) with WS/REST surfaces and UI list
- Testing-mode throttling for ingest to reduce CPU during local dev
- Alert scoring calibration updates for confidence/coverage-aware severity
- Bun workspaces with shared packages for schemas, bus, config, observability, and ClickHouse access.
- Infra orchestration via Docker Compose (NATS JetStream, ClickHouse, Redis).
- Options ingest service with adapters:
- synthetic stream,
- Alpaca options (dev-focused, bounded contracts),
- IBKR bridge (Python sidecar),
- Databento historical replay adapter (Python sidecar).
- Equities ingest service with adapters:
- synthetic stream,
- Alpaca equities trades/quotes.
- Compute service:
- deterministic option print clustering into `FlowPacket`s,
- NBBO join quality features and aggressor-mix metrics,
- rolling baselines in Redis,
- structure summarization and structure packet emission,
- rule-based classifiers + confidence-scored alert events,
- dark-style inferred events from equity prints/quotes,
- equity print-to-quote join events.
- Candles service:
- server-side equity candle aggregation,
- ClickHouse persistence,
- optional Redis hot cache,
- NATS publication.
- Replay service:
- deterministic republishing from ClickHouse to NATS,
- multi-stream merge with stable tie-break ordering,
- speed/start/end controls.
- API service:
- REST endpoints for recent + cursor pagination,
- REST range endpoints for chart windows,
- REST replay-oriented endpoints,
- WebSocket channels for options, NBBO, equities, quotes, joins, flow, classifier hits, alerts, inferred dark, and candles.
- Next.js web app:
- live tape/workspace views,
- replay controls and status,
- signals and chart-focused routes,
- evidence-centric terminal UI.
- Refdata + EOD enricher service entrypoints are present but currently scaffolds (lifecycle/logging only).
In progress / blocked:
- Production-grade licensed live data feeds (beyond current dev/test bridges)
- Advanced clustering (spreads/rolls beyond basic structure tags)
- Expanded chart overlays and annotation density controls
Planned / not yet complete:
Not started:
- Reference data/corporate action enrichment
- Auth / secure deployment
- production-grade licensed feed integrations and entitlement workflow,
- richer refdata/corp-action enrichment,
- secure deployment/auth hardening,
- deeper structure + calibration workflows from `PLAN.md`.
## Core Principles
- **Explainability first** — every alert and signal is backed by observable data and explicit logic.
- **Event-sourced architecture** — all raw and derived events are persisted and replayable.
- **Market microstructure correctness** — conservative handling of aggressor inference, OI, and off-exchange prints.
- **Low-latency, tangible UX** — smooth real-time interaction that feels like an instrument panel, not a spreadsheet.
- **Explainability first** — inferred outputs are evidence-backed and human-readable.
- **Event sourcing** — raw and derived events persist to support replay.
- **Determinism** — replay behavior tracks live pipeline logic.
- **Microstructure awareness** — bounded joins, confidence scoring, and explicit uncertainty.
- **Bun-first tooling** — runtime/package/scripts all use Bun.
## Current Capabilities

- Deterministic option FlowPacket clustering (time-window)
- Rolling stats baselines in Redis with z-score features on FlowPackets

- Classifiers + alert scoring (rule-first) with WS/REST endpoints
- Structure packet emission with roll-aware metadata and evidence lists
- Roll classifier (rule-based, explainable) emitted from structure packets
- API gateway with REST, WS, and replay endpoints
- Equities prints range REST endpoint for chart/time-window inspection
- Server-built equity candles (service + REST/WS surfaces)
- UI tapes for options/equities/flow packets + alerts/hits with live/replay toggle and pause controls
- Chart overlays for off-exchange prints, classifier markers, and dark-pool markers with evidence linking

## Status
Active build for personal, non-delayed analytical use. Multi-user access and redistribution are intentionally out of scope.
## Non-Goals
- No black-box AI predictions
- No profit guarantees
- No real-time data redistribution
- No guessing at intent without evidence
## License / Usage
For research and personal analytical use.
Market data usage is subject to the terms of the data providers.
- Python dependencies are required only for IBKR/Databento sidecars (`services/ingest-options/py/requirements.txt`).
- Candle construction is server-side; the client consumes prebuilt OHLC events.
- This repository is for personal, non-redistributed usage.
