Bulls did the paying this week: the bulk of the flagged premium landed in calls swept at the ask rather than resting in the book. Every trade below cleared the same bar our live flow feed applies: aggressive ask-side execution and verified order sides.

The Week's Top Flow
$651K PG&E call sweep
$651K in $PCG calls expiring September 2026 (21 days out), swept above the ask on Friday and flagged live on X within minutes of the print. The strike sits roughly 6% out of the money.
$269K Planet Labs PBC call sweep
$269K in $PL calls expiring September 2026 (21 days out), swept into the offer on Friday and flagged live on X the moment it printed. The strike sits roughly 20% out of the money.
$8.6M Sandisk calls, backed by the dark pool
$8.6M in $SNDK calls expiring September 2026 (8 days out), swept at the ask on Thursday and flagged live on X the moment it printed. It printed alongside a block in Sandisk's dark pool activity the same session, the convergence pattern we weight most heavily.
Strategy Corner
The week's standout multi-leg position was a $10.3M $NVDA call spread: sold the Jun $260 calls, bought the Jun $220s for a net debit.
Runner-up: a $17.8M $AMZN call spread (sold the Nov $350 calls, bought the Nov $295s).

How Last Week's Flags Resolved
We score every flag and delete nothing. There is a familiar name near the top: the $WULF flag we featured in last week's recap kept working. From the Aug 28-Sep 3 cohort:
- $SNDK 09/11 $1390C · stock +11.9%, option +95.3%
- $WULF 11/20 $17C · stock +9.5%, option +49.6%
- $DFTX 10/16 $37P · stock -3.1%, option +48.6%
11 of 32 flags closed green the next session. One-session scoring is the harshest test there is: much of what we flag is positioned for the weeks ahead, not the next candle. Flow shows you where they are positioned; it is not a guarantee of direction, and we publish the full scoreboard either way.
The Week Ahead
Earnings from Oracle (Thu), Adobe (Thu), and The Kroger (Wed), with 20 more names on the calendar. Also on watch: a product launch for Apple expected Wednesday; a regulatory deadline for Baidu expected Monday. When flow starts printing against these events, it hits the live feed first, and you can track dealer positioning into the prints with gamma exposure.
