How do I build an options trading dashboard?
By Faizan Ahmad. Updated .
Open Tradytics dashboards, open a featured dashboard from Explore (Big money, Stock desk, 0DTE desk, Earnings week) or start blank, and add any of 56 widgets, every card in the app: live options flow, ranked dark pool prints, Market Net Flow, dealer exposure, open interest, dark pool levels, the scanner, Signals, Probabilities, the AI Fund, charts and the markets. Give each widget its own ticker or link widgets in four color groups, keep as many dashboards as you want, and the whole board refreshes in one request every 5 seconds. Dashboards are on every plan.
The steps
- Open Dashboards, add a featured dashboard from Explore, or start blank.
- Open the widget gallery and click a widget to add it, or use "Add to dashboard" in any card's info popover or the chart's right-click menu.
- Drag a widget by its body, resize it from the corner, duplicate or remove it.
- Set a ticker on each widget, or put widgets in one of four colored link groups so changing NVDA to AMD on one moves the group.
- Rename it from the name at the top, then make another for a different setup.
The featured dashboards
| Dashboard | Built for |
|---|---|
| Big money | Where the money went today: the money map, live options flow, dark pool prints, a dark pool buying screen, Signals, the most traded contracts and flow by sector |
| Stock desk | One ticker in depth: its chart, statistics, net flow, dealer exposure, whales and dark pool levels, linked to the ticker |
| 0DTE desk | SPY for the day: a chart, 0DTE flow and 0DTE gamma, dealer exposure and the S&P 500's chances for the close |
| Earnings week | The earnings calendar beside one stock's options statistics, the move priced through the report, implied volatility and its past reports |
| Blank | Your own from the first widget |
A board for options traders
A setup that covers a trading day, built from the gallery:
- Market Net Flow, with 0DTE flow for SPY, SPX and QQQ beside it.
- Live options flow filtered with a saved view, and the Signals feed under it.
- A linked group of chart, net flow, dealer exposure, open interest and dark pool levels: change the ticker once and all five follow.
- Dark pool prints, each ranked against the stock's own last 12 months.
- The S&P 500 outlook from Probabilities, for where Kalshi and Polymarket put the index into Friday and month end.
The live flow is the full OPRA tape stitched into orders and tagged bought or sold, about 58,000 orders on a normal session. Dealer exposure covers gamma, delta, vanna and charm, recomputed every five minutes for about 2,500 stocks and ETFs.
Why it stays fast
A dashboard runs on one clock: every 5 seconds it asks once for everything on screen that is due, in a single request. Widgets scrolled out of view stop asking, and flow and dark pool prints arrive over one shared stream however many widgets show them. The same board reflows to two columns on a tablet and one on a phone. More in Tradytics custom dashboards.
