Overview of InfoLib buckets, dashboards, account tools, live market data, and research calendars.
InfoLib is built around InfoHubs, modular tools you can use to create your own terminal. Assuming cookies are enabled, your setup is saved between sessions or you can save them permanently using an account. Markets are full of noise, these buckets are built to allow you to focus on what matters, whether that’s dark pool prints, catalysts, or fresh news, or much more.
Once you’re on the Data Dashboard, there are three primary ways to access data.
The tabs mode is the simplest and lets you view a single bucket on your entire screen, as well as giving you the option to jump through different tools through the tabs.
The full screen grid simply applies evenly spaced columns and rows so that you can view multiple tools at once.
Alternatively, you can simply add or remove buckets using the green or red buttons located in the aforementioned corner of the screen. The buckets are built to be moved and resized so you can mix and match tools to view all the data you want on one screen. These layouts can be saved in between sessions thanks to cookies, but if you want to move between devices, you can save them with the dashboards tool. More on that later.
Some of the tools require you to create an account, though the website is entirely usable without one. This is only so that your data can be saved in between sessions. The trading journal, dashboards, and watchlists features all require one. No email is required.
Don’t use a password you normally use, these are intended to be simple and just a way to store information.
On the upper right hand corner of the Data Dashboard page, you’ll see five different options.
This feature allows you to save and load layouts of different buckets, letting you move between devices or easily cycle through different tools. An account is necessary to keep your setup saved and it lets you store and save multiple configurations.
Watchlists allow you to track stocks and automatically load certain buckets with tickers.
For those that prefer a video format, a basic tutorial of the website can be found here.

Live and near-live feeds for equities, options, SEC data, and news.
View contracts with the largest activity spikes and investigate substantial positions using filters for ticker, volume, strike, expiration, and more, plus a most-recent feed across all stock tickers.
We are unable to provide data concerning the total value of every position, though anyone can easily reverse-engineer that information by tracking down the price of each contract at the time the order was made and multiplying it by the “trade volume”. As a rule of thumb, we’ve found the bottom floor price of the positions to be around $500,000. Make sure to double check open interest through your brokerage as well.
Why is this useful? It’s hard to know which unusual trades are simple speculation, which are informed, which might be insiders or structured institutional flows. But there’s almost always something unusual about them—be it the contract size in an otherwise inactive stock or a strange combination of strike and days to expiration. At minimum, they can explain odd moves in names you already hold. At times, consistent spikes have almost certainly been people front-running unreported events.
Using the same data as the unusual options flow, here you will find a variety of pre-set filters to help narrow down interesting plays. These include: High Volume OTM (against short DTE), High Volume Leaps, Most OTM Strikes, Large OTM Open Interest), 0DTE Blasts, Highest Volume/OI, Biggest Day Volume, and ETF Hedge Wall. You can also further narrow down your options with a ticker search, asset type selection, and whether you want to see calls or puts. There are also filters for minimum trade volume, minimum Volume/OI, and minimum OTM percentage
This tool allows you to view a ton of information about stock options. You can search specific tickers across all expirations, or as low as 0DTE to anything over 90 days in expiration. In addition to that, you can sort by strike, expiry, cumulative, spot sweep, volume sweep, and time sweep. Finally, you can sort by GEX, DEX, VEX, CEX, Vanna, and Theta Ex alongside the aforementioned filters. This gives you different ways to analyze options, gauge sentiment, and cross reference data.
Similar to the above tool, you can filter stock tickers along the same time frames and options greeks. The key difference is the ability to visualize all the different expiration dates and activity occurring at each strike.
Visualize options selling data by filtering through different tickers, timeframes, puts & calls, metrics, delta, and spreads. Ideally, this tool should give you an edge when deciding which option strikes to sell.
View implied volatility across different options tickers, expirations, as well as modes: IV Smile, IV Term Structure, and Skew/RR/Fly.

Access typically paywalled off-exchange trades; filter by stock tickers, volumes, and sectors.
What are Dark Pools? These are private exchanges where large institutional transactions are executed away from traditional order books. They are not visible in the public order book in real-time, though the trades are reported and visible in the dark pool data after execution. Why are they useful? Not just any trader can access dark pools; they are effectively reserved for institutions given the typical trade sizes. Anyone using a dark pool usually has a reason to avoid immediate exposure to the public eye, so trades conducted here often have some ulterior motive or informational edge.
Track the most recently published SEC filings and search the most current filings, typically limited to the same day.
How can I use this? This feed attempts to isolate the most financially useful SEC forms (Form 4, Schedule 13, etc.), uploaded almost as soon as they are released. A huge variety of companies and individuals file, but anyone who keeps an eye on this bucket and knows their forms can definitely dig out something of value. It’s worth noting that companies sometimes publicly publish news before they file with the SEC, though they are still required to file within a few days.
Here’s a cheatsheet that can help you understand what each SEC filing is about: SEC filing cheat sheet
The NASDAQ can halt stocks from trading for a variety of different reasons, extreme volatility, in anticipation of market moving news, corporate malfeasance, and more. Using this tool you can keep a close eye on which companies are being affected. It is not unheard of for companies that have made dramatic gains falling off a cliff after a halt has been instituted.
For a better understanding of what each halt code represents, refer to the official NASDAQ link on the subject: official NASDAQ halt-code guide
Stay up to date with the news from a variety of traditional finance news outlets. The feed refreshes every 90 seconds and you can introduce specific keywords if you only want to see news about specific topics.
Similar to the above feed, this feed allows you to filter for specific stock tickers, commodities, and industries related to those topics. There is also simple code introduced to rank the suspected impact of each article.

View 3M, 5Y, 10Y, and 30Y US Treasury yields in one place.
What are Treasury Yields? Simply put, these are the expected annual returns on US government debt, reflecting the interest paid by the government to borrow money. Basically, this is the money you can expect to make from those bonds. Treasury Yields are often used to gauge opportunity cost in the stock market, when yields are high, money tends to move into bonds as the money is comparatively riskless. When yields are low, there is more incentive to “risk” money in the stock market.
TradingView has been imported so you can keep charts open while monitoring other data on the same screen.
See daily short volume, short percentage %, and total volume for any particular stock. Useful for identifying potential short squeezes or gauging how much short pressure an existing investment is under.
Similar to the daily short volume, but focused on short % float as reported by FINRA. This bucket gives a clean read on how bearish or skeptical the market is toward a given stock.
