Yahoo Finance is launching a new premium feature on AlphaSpace that delivers real-time insights into options activity, helping users understand where investors are taking a position and what's moving the market.

The launch marks one of the biggest updates yet to AlphaSpace, the fully customizable investment platform. At the center of the new feature is real-time options data from Unusual Whales, the leading provider of options flow, market data, and trading insights.

Subscribers can explore a live options chain for any ticker, with calls and puts organized by strike and expiration, a volatility heatmap, and in-the-money shading. Users can click into any contract for a plain-language breakdown that includes breakeven price, expected move, and potential gain or loss. The options flow screener surfaces noteworthy trades in real time, and automated alerts flag unusual activity as it happens.

"Options activity is critical to how investors engage with the market and no one has built more credibility in the space than Unusual Whales," said George Leimer, GM, Yahoo Finance. "Offering real-time options data is a step change from the delayed data that's been available to date. AlphaSpace is the homepage of active, highly engaged investors and now, subscribers get the clearest picture yet of what's moving markets so they can make informed decisions, quickly."

"Retail investors deserve the same real-time visibility institutions enjoy, without the price tag of a trading terminal," said Matt Saincome, CEO of Unusual Whales. "This partnership allows us to empower even more everyday investors with our data and insights."

Real-time options data works with Yahoo Scout, Yahoo's AI-powered answer engine, so users can ask questions like "Why is SPCX seeing unusual options activity?" or "Pull recent options trades for META," and set alerts to be notified when unusual trading activity happens.

Real-time options data adds a new layer of market intelligence and tools for active investors and traders and is the latest step in Yahoo Finance's broader expansion into deeper data and premium tools for its users. Real-time options data is available now on AlphaSpace for Yahoo Finance subscribers. Try it today at alphaspace.finance.yahoo.com.
