What is Net Flow Graph?

Net Flow Graph is a session chart of net call premium against net put premium for one ticker you search. Green is Net Call Premium. Red is Net Put Premium. The white line is the ticker, often SPY. Cumulative Volume Delta sits under Net Volume. A wide gap is a lean, not a buy.

A tape shows prints. Market Wave shows a session wave with Current Day and Historical views. This page is the ticker you type. Info says it is similar to Market Wave, but specific to an individual ticker rather than the entire market. Type a symbol in Filter ticker, then Go. The badge above the charts is that name plus last price. When green sits well above red, call premium has been winning the session. When red sits above green, put premium has. When the two hug, the tape is mixed or thin.

Net Volume is a histogram under the wave. Cumulative Volume Delta, labeled CVD on the axis, is a separate running delta, not a second premium line. Market Price Action Trend sits further down with EMA Cross Lines. Dark Pool Flow and Dark Pool Volume sit under that. None of those charts is a buy or sell. Info notes the graph captures all expiry dates and strikes.

Option Depth Flow is the searchable strike-by-time Bubble or Gradient chart. 0DTE Graph is the same-day premium chart. The 0DTE dropdown is the lock.

How Net Flow Graph works on EZPZ

Search first, then read Net Flow Graph, then Net Volume, then Cumulative Volume Delta, then Market Price Action Trend. It is not a combined rating. Most people start on SPY with 1m and Line. If the green and red lines hug, the session is mixed. Switch to 5m if 1m is too noisy. Switch to Candles if you want the price series as bars. Open Info if you want the in-page glossary. Open Video Tutorial if you want Netflow Graph Video Tutorial.

How this differs from Market Wave

Market Wave is a session wave with Current Day, Historical (Cumulative), and Historical (Non-Cumulative). This page does not have those three buttons. You change the name with Filter ticker. Use Market Wave when you want those historical views. Use this page when you want one ticker plus Cumulative Volume Delta. Historical Net Premium is the 15D Cumulative lookback with a daily table. 0DTE Graph is the same-day premium chart with Filter ticker. The 0DTE dropdown is the lock. Use Movers and Shakers Tide when you want the 18-name basket. Use Index Trader when you want traffic lights and the index Net Flow row. 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 charts

You do not need every chart on every session. Use the tabs if you want a map of the fields.

The top card is labeled Net Flow Graph. 1m, Line, Info, and Video Tutorial sit on the right of that title.

LineWhat you are looking at
Net Call PremiumGreen. Call-side premium through the session.
Net Put PremiumRed. Put-side premium through the session.
SPYWhite. The underlying you loaded. The badge above the charts is the same name plus last price.

These controls change how you view the same ticker. They do not score it.

Two cards sit under the wave. They are not a second Net Flow Graph.

CardWhat you are looking at
Net VolumeA histogram. Green bars sit above zero. Red bars sit below. The axis is Volume.
Cumulative Volume DeltaA running delta. The axis is labeled CVD. Purple bars in the screenshot are that running total, not premium dollars.

A red Net Volume block under a still-rising call line is a prompt to look closer. It is not a reversal order.

Market Price Action Trend

Scroll past Cumulative Volume Delta for Market Price Action Trend. The checkbox EMA Cross Lines starts checked.

Net Volume, then Cumulative Volume Delta, then Market Price Action Trend with EMA Cross Lines on. AiPe in the corner.

The white line

The legend is the ticker plus Market Price Action Trend, such as SPY Market Price Action Trend.

EMA Cross Lines

Cross labels such as EMA Cross (07:09 pm) sit on the chart when a cross prints. Hover for EMA Short, EMA Long, and EMA Extra next to the trend print.

Green and red fills

Stretches of the trend get a green or red fill. They are overlays, not a score.

Two more cards sit under that: Dark Pool Flow and Dark Pool Volume. They answer off-exchange activity, not Net Call Premium. Scroll to them when you want that overlay. They are still not a hidden buyer.

How people actually use it

Search one name

Type the ticker in Filter ticker, then Go. Stay on 1m and Line until the wave is too noisy.

Read the gap, then CVD

If Net Call Premium sits far from Net Put Premium, open Cumulative Volume Delta before you treat the gap as the whole story.

Check an EMA cross

Leave EMA Cross Lines on. A cross on Market Price Action Trend is a time stamp, not a buy.
