The SPX 0DTEframework.
One example pattern. The community has playbooks for Large Trades and Insider too, surfaced inside Trade Echo Edge, the learning hub.
- Wait for size
1,000+ contracts on a single 0DTE print. Smaller fills are noise; the desk doesn't fade the tape with 100 lots.
Filter ·
size≥1000 - Confirm direction
Trade Side BUY at the ask on calls, or BUY at the ask on puts. Sells into the bid are noise unless they cluster.
Field · Trade Side
- Check context
Open DealerEdge for the same expiry. Is this print stacking into the Anchor or fighting the Flip?
Cross-module · DealerEdge
- Wait for repeat
A single 0DTE print is a coin flip. A second print in the same direction within 12 minutes is the desk layering, the Cortex Lexicon's Echo Print pattern.

Quick answers.
What is AlgoEdge?
AlgoEdge identifies institutional algorithmic options trades as they hit the tape, classifies each one into one of nine channels, and enriches every row with bid, ask, Greeks, and Trade Side at the moment of the print. Trade Echo runs the detection itself on the live options tape, then adds the enrichment, the five-tab drilldown, the cross-module integration, and the per-ticker push alerts on top.
What's a channel, and what's the difference?
Channels are pre-tuned routes for different trading styles. Nine of them:
- Large Trades - 1,000+ contracts, $1M+ premium.
- Executive - high-volume $SPY / $QQQ short-expiry.
- SPX 0DTE - same-day $SPX only.
- Momentum - low-priced, near-term, clustered.
- Directional - cross-exchange sweeps.
- Weekly - large trades within one week.
- High Value 0DTE - $1M+ same-day on majors.
- Small Trades - non-index momentum.
- Insider - 40-80% OTM on smaller names.
What is Trade Side?
Trade Side is BUY / SELL / MID, inferred from where the print sat in the bid-ask spread. Fill ≥ ask = BUY (aggressive, lifted the offer). Fill ≤ bid = SELL (hit the bid). Anything in between is MID. It carries in every row, no manual interpretation needed.
What's inside the drilldown when I click a row?
Five tabs:
- Contract Flow - premium over time + net premium synced below.
- Overview - snapshot, bid/ask split, OTM %, IV, Open Interest.
- Vol / OI History - 15-min intraday with 30m histogram, bid/ask split bars, IV, sweep %.
- Related Trades - every other print on the same contract today.
- Flow Orders - individual orders that built the contract flow, clickable to filter the chart.
Can AlgoEdge push alerts to my phone?
Yes. Per-ticker push alerts with full filter criteria - min value, min size, max price, days-to-expiry. iOS and Android. Tap the push and the drilldown opens on your phone. For more than a ping, hand the same filters to the Liquidity Pulse preset Cortex agent - it combines AlgoEdge with OptionFlow and market data on a schedule.
Is AlgoEdge on mobile?
Yes. Same nine channels, same enriched feed, same drilldown, rendered as a bottom sheet instead of a full-screen modal. Push notifications and per-ticker filter subscriptions are identical on web and mobile.
