Golden sweep
An aggressive multi-exchange sweep large enough to clear our highest conviction bar.
What it means
A sweep is an order that takes liquidity across several exchanges at once instead of resting on one book. It signals someone who wants filled now and is willing to pay for it. A Golden Sweep is the most aggressive tier: a large options order executed immediately across multiple exchanges simultaneously. It indicates extreme urgency from an institutional buyer.
Specifically: $1M+ premium, volume exceeds open interest, near the money, and filled across multiple venues in seconds.
Why it matters
Urgency is information. Patience is cheap; paying the spread across five venues is not. A Golden Sweep is the rarest and highest-conviction print on the tape.
Where to find it
The Live Flow feed labels every Golden Sweep in yellow. The Unusual Activity feed surfaces them at the top of any score-sorted view. Discord Alerts fires a push notification immediately when one clears our threshold.
