Historical Net Premium
A longer term view of net options premium flow, useful for spotting positioning trends that build up over weeks rather than a single session.
What is historical net premium?
Historical net premium is a multi-day chart of net call premium against net put premium for one ticker. Traders use it to see whether call or put buying has been building over a lookback, not just today. Cumulative stacks the window. Non-Cumulative shows each day. A lean is not a buy.
A session wave answers today. A tape answers prints. This page answers the last 5, 15, or 30 days. Green is Cumulative Net Call Premium when Cumulative is on. Red is Cumulative Net Put Premium. White is Underlying Price. Orange is Net Premium (Call - Put). Purple is Call + Put Premium. The dotted series is Premium Dominance %. When red sits well above green, put premium has been winning the lookback. When green sits above red, call premium has. A crossover is a change in lean, not a thesis.
Four pills sit under the header: Net Call Prem, Net Put Prem, Net Premium (C-P), and Prem Dominance %. Historical Premium Data is the same window as a dated table. Search Ticker, then Go. 15D and Cumulative start selected. Info explains Cumulative as a running total and Non-Cumulative as per-day values. None of those numbers is an order.

How Historical Net Premium works on EZPZ
Search Ticker, then Go, then read the four pills, then Cumulative Net Call vs. Put Premium, then Historical Premium Data. It is not a combined rating. Most people start on SPY with Cumulative and 15D. If the green and red lines hug, the lookback is mixed. Switch to 5D if 15D is too long. Switch to 30D if you want a wider window. Switch to Non-Cumulative if you want Daily Net Call vs. Put Premium. Open Info if you want the in-page glossary.
How this differs from Market Wave
Market Wave is a session wave with Current Day, Historical (Cumulative), and Historical (Non-Cumulative). This page is a daily lookback: 5D, 15D, or 30D, plus Historical Premium Data. Use Market Wave when you want today's wave, Net Volume, and Dark Pool Flow. Use this page when you want a dated table of Net Call Prem and Net Put Prem. Use Net Flow Graph when you want Filter ticker plus Cumulative Volume Delta. Use 0DTE Graph when you want same-day premium. Use Movers and Shakers Tide when you want the 18-name basket. Use Index Trader when you want traffic lights. Use Ticker Explorer when you want quote, PCR, GEX charts, and unusual activity. Use Largest Premium By Tickers when you still need a name. Use Top 20 Optionable when you want Vol. * Price rank. Use Gamma Exposure when you want Call Wall and Put Wall.
Anatomy of the chart
You do not need every series on every lookback. Use the tabs if you want a map of the fields.
The chart card label starts as Cumulative Net Call vs. Put Premium. It switches to Daily Net Call vs. Put Premium when Non-Cumulative is on.
| Line | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Cumulative Net Call Premium | Green. Call-side premium stacked over the lookback. Info calls this Net Call Premium: total call premium collected. On Non-Cumulative the label is Net Call Premium. |
| Cumulative Net Put Premium | Red. Put-side premium stacked over the lookback. Info calls this Net Put Premium: total put premium collected. On Non-Cumulative the label is Net Put Premium. |
| Underlying Price | White. The ticker print on the left axis, shown for reference. |
| Premium Dominance % | Dotted. Info calls this a normalized call/put imbalance as a percentage. Larger bubbles mean stronger conviction, still not a fill. |
| Net Premium (Call - Put) | Orange. Call minus put. Info writes this as Net Premium (C-P). Positive is call-dominant. Negative is put-dominant. |
| Call + Put Premium | Purple. Info calls this Call + Put Total: overall activity in the window, not a lean. |
These controls change the window. They do not score it.
| Control | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Cumulative Non-Cumulative | Cumulative is the default. Non-Cumulative switches the chart to Daily Net Call vs. Put Premium. |
| 5D 15D 30D | The lookback. 15D is the default, and the filled purple button in the screenshot. |
| Ticker Go | Search a symbol. The page starts on SPY until you search. |
| Info | The in-page glossary, titled Net Premium Flow. The subtitle is Reference Guide & Signal Interpretation. |
Four pills sit under the header. They summarize the window on screen.
| Pill | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Net Call Prem | Green. Call-side premium for the loaded window. |
| Net Put Prem | Red. Put-side premium for the loaded window. |
| Net Premium (C-P) | Call minus put. The screenshot shows this as a large negative when puts have been winning. |
| Prem Dominance % | The percent on the same window. A large negative percent is put-dominant. It is still not a short. |

How people actually use it
Start on Cumulative 15D
Leave SPY on. Read Cumulative Net Call Premium versus Cumulative Net Put Premium first. You are watching the lookback lean, not picking a strike.
Check the pills, then the table
If the chart looks one-sided, confirm Net Premium (C-P) and Prem Dominance %. Then scan Historical Premium Data for which days did the work.
Flip to Non-Cumulative when a day looks huge
Daily Net Call vs. Put Premium is for spikes. Info says that view is useful for single-day reversals. A spike is still not an order.
