Found a flow scanner that doesn’t make me want to throw my monitor

Spent way too long thinking I was bad at reading flow when the real problem was the data I was looking at was just garbage.

Spread legs showing up as unusual activity. Deep ITM rolls. Prints that are already 45 minutes old by the time they hit the screener. None of that moves anything but I kept trying to trade off it anyway.

What actually changed things for me was learning to filter for at-the-money or slightly OTM, tight bid-ask spreads, hitting above ask, real size — and separating sweeps from blocks from splits because they mean completely different things about intent.

Once I started ignoring everything that didn't check those boxes the noise dropped like 80% and the prints that were left actually made sense.

Curious what everyone else uses to filter flow or if you just ignore it entirely. Feels like it's either really useful or completely useless depending on how you approach it.
