iv-flow confirmed momentum
In plain terms
Ride a stock's trend only when option buyers are leaning the same way: calls getting pricier into an uptrend, puts getting pricier into a downtrend.
How it works
Takes separate 25-delta call and put implied-vol innovations as an options-flow signal and only trades the underlying's price momentum when the option market agrees. Call IV richening relative to put IV is read as bullish demand confirming up-trends; put IV richening relative to call IV is read as bearish demand confirming down-trends.
