0DTE options alerts that list the losers: how the FlowMonkey receipts work

Most alert services show you the winners. The trade that went up 300 percent gets a screenshot; the six that expired worthless do not. FlowMonkey publishes the whole day, and this page explains exactly how the record is kept so you can decide whether to trust it.

What an alert is

Two engines watch the live options tape during the session: one for early one-sided flow, one for whale-size prints. When a contract in the cheap band, roughly ten cents to three dollars, passes the quality gates, members are shown the contract and the price. On a typical day that is three to twelve alerts, and a good day has two or three that run.

Nothing is emailed with a story attached. The alert is a contract, a time and a price.

The entry price is frozen when you see it

The number that matters is the price at the moment the alert was shown, and it is written to the record before the card renders. It comes from the real trade tape when a print is available and from the live mid otherwise. It is never rewritten later to a better fill, and an alert whose price moved out of the band between firing and showing is not shown at all.

Every percentage on the receipts page is measured from that frozen price to the contract's later prints. If the tape never printed the contract again, the row says so instead of guessing.

The page shows the day, not the highlight

The receipts page lists every alert shown that day with its entry, its high afterwards and its last price, sorted by how far it ran. The ones that never moved are on the same page in the same font. The daily post on X repeats the count: how many were flagged, how many ran, how many did not.

We do not publish a win rate, a hit rate or an average return for the engines. Those numbers are easy to print and impossible for a reader to check. Counts and a full list are checkable.

What the alerts are not

They are not recommendations. A contract that appears on the feed is one the system found unusual, priced at the moment you saw it, tracked afterwards in public. Whether to trade it, size it or ignore it is your decision, and a 0DTE contract can go to zero by the close.

Common questions

Where is the record?

flowmonkey.net/receipts for the alerts, updated through the day and graded at the close, and flowmonkey.net/ledger for the pre-open levels, sealed at 9:12 ET with a hash chain so past days cannot be edited.

What is the win rate?

FlowMonkey does not publish one. The page shows every alert with its outcome so you can compute whatever you want against the full list, including the days that were bad.

Are the alerts delayed?

The tape the engines read is real-time. What members see is the alert at the moment the engine confirmed it, with that moment's price frozen in the record.

The short version

Frozen entry, full-day list, no win rate. If an alert service will not show you its losers, it is showing you a highlight reel.
