Unusual Whales is a market data platform focused on options flow, dark pool data, and institutional trade tracking. It gained popularity for tracking congressional stock trading disclosures and presenting market data in a community-driven, social-first format. The platform provides real-time options flow alerts, dark pool prints, sector heat maps, and a Discord community for sharing trade ideas.
Pricing starts at $48/month (Standard) for flow data and alerts, with higher tiers up to $170/month adding features like historical data, advanced filtering, and priority alerts. A portfolio tracking add-on is available in beta for $10/month. The platform has a strong presence on social media and is known for its accessible, visual approach to presenting institutional flow data.
Unusual Whales is primarily a flow and sentiment platform. It does not offer dedicated spread screening, portfolio optimization, wheel tracking, or the income-focused workflow tools that dedicated options platforms provide. Its strength is in tracking what large players are doing and making that data accessible to retail traders.
Remora is an integrated options trading platform designed for options traders — income sellers, directional traders, and RIAs who want screening, portfolio tracking, optimization, and analytics in one place. Rather than switching between tools for different parts of the workflow, Remora connects everything from initial stock and options screening through trade tracking and performance analysis.
The platform includes 12 built-in spread strategies, a 500+ ticker IV rank dashboard, unusual options flow monitoring, a stock scanner, and earnings analysis. On the portfolio side, Remora offers wheel strategy lifecycle tracking, a portfolio optimizer that analyzes capital utilization and exposure, morning briefings, PDF reports, and shared portfolio links for client reporting.
Remora is built for traders who prioritize workflow efficiency over raw charting power. If you want to find trades, track your portfolio, optimize your positions, and review performance without leaving one platform, Remora is purpose-built for that workflow.
