This is one of our favorite bottom-up scans: Follow the Flow.
In this note, we simply create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity — either bullish or bearish, but not both.
We utilize options experts, both internally and through our partnership with The TradeXchange. Then, we dig through the level 2 details and do all the work upfront for our clients.
Our goal is to isolate only those options market splashes that represent levered and high-conviction, directional bets.

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs. We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut.
These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.
It’s got all the big names and more--but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.
The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.
We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.
Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

I'm in New York City along with the rest of the All Star Charts team for the annual CMT symposium this week, so there's no Inside Scoop Weekly Strategy Session today.
We'll be back with our regular schedule next week.
For today, we figured we'd do a quick post discussing some of the macro themes we're watching right now, as well as a trade idea in one of our favorite names.

With earnings season underway, financials are making a statement this week.
The first few weeks of reporting are always heavy with banks and financial stocks. As these are the market laggards, we knew we would get some critical information from their earnings reactions.
While it hasn't been fireworks to the upside by any means, there also hasn't been much downside from these stocks.
It is never a bad thing if the bears can't take down the weakest stocks. That's what is going on right now.
Meanwhile, more and more bullish setups keep crossing our desk. It's all very constructive.

The market continues to shake off negative news as stocks react positively to incoming economic data and the Fed's actions.
Sure, banks are still a problem, and we need to watch them closely as earnings season kicks off.
But we can only give this price action from financials so much weight as the list of bullish developments in other areas continues to grow.
Overall, there are a lot more positives than negatives right now. And this proves true when we look through our universes, such as our Inside Scoop list.
We continue to see more and more bullish setups and stocks we want to buy come across our radar.
