Net Flow answers the simplest question in options: **is more money going into calls or puts on this ticker today?** It rolls up the session's option premium and volume into one bias read - a fast sanity check next to the GEX heatmap's structural view.

## What it measures

For the current session, per ticker:

| Reading | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| **Net premium** | Call premium minus put premium - green positive, red negative |
| **Call/put split bar** | Visual share of premium going to calls vs puts |
| **Net vol** | Call volume minus put volume |
| **C/P skew** | Call/put ratio (e.g. `2.3x` = calls dominating) |
| **Calls** | Total call premium for the session |
| **Bias** | The verdict: **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral** |

No open interest games, no strike-by-strike detail - just where the session's money leans.

## Where to find it

- **Dealer Edge Focus panel** - Net Flow appears as a card in the per-ticker Focus view
- **Workspace tile** - add a **Net Flow** tile to any [Workspace](https://tradeecho.com/docs/features/workspace) layout, one ticker per tile

Both surfaces render the same data, so a reading in your Workspace matches Dealer Edge exactly.

## Reading it with GEX

Net Flow and the [GEX heatmap](https://tradeecho.com/docs/features/dealeredge/gex-heatmap-guide) answer different questions:

- **GEX**: where dealers are positioned - walls, flip, pin risk (structure)
- **Net Flow**: which way today's money is leaning (session direction)

Strong combinations:

| GEX says | Net Flow says | Read |
|----------|----------------|------|
| Positive gamma, price near anchor | Neutral | Pin day - fade edges |
| Negative gamma below flip | Bearish, heavy put premium | Trend risk down - momentum trades |
| Wall overhead | Bullish, calls dominating | Watch for a wall test or break |

If Net Flow flips bias intraday while price presses a GEX level, pay attention - that is often the tell before the level resolves.
