I love unusual whales but I’ve been using them for a while. Good deal if you can get on sale. @aaplbottomjeans has the connect with QD and has a better understanding of their platform! Theirs looks solid too
I’m using CheddarFlow but not the others so not sure how it compares. I’d be happy to give flow data on any stock you want so you can compare to flow data info you get on the others. Just sucks there’s no DM option on here.
I have friends that love BlackBox https://blackboxstocks.com/?transaction_id=102f9dbdda0440b45932b1003dcd86&offer_id=18&aff_id=2784
I don’t get credit for sharing but just posting in case you want to check it out if you’re not familiar with it.
I use Unusual Whales, primarily to verify tall tales people tell by looking at order flow. If you aren’t interested in a very specific use case for one of these tools, don’t pay for it.
If you're interested in looking deeper into trading and looking underneath why candles are moving, an options data provider is great. It's a great addition to your tool set, but by no means the absolute answer to navigating the markets. Make sure you have a use case for it. Otherwise it's an unnecessary expense. We stream our tool and how we use it daily. You're welcome to pop in any time!
