Daily when you need the signal. Intraday when timing matters.

VandaTrack is available in two practical forms. Daily data provides a consistent view of retail investor flows and positioning across the market. Intraday access refreshes throughout the US session at 10-minute intervals, helping clients monitor changes in buying and selling pressure as they emerge.

What VandaTrack measures.

  • Retail cash flows

    Track net retail buying and selling across US-listed stocks and ETFs.

  • Turnover and activity

    See where retail participation is concentrated and which securities are attracting the most attention.

  • Options activity

    Monitor retail options turnover and identify names where derivatives activity is becoming significant.

  • Custom views

    Filter securities by benchmark, sector, factor, theme or your own basket to focus the dataset around your process.

  • Broad US market coverage, with history behind the signal.

    Coverage spans more than 13,000 US-listed common stocks and ETFs. Historical equity data extends back to 2012 and options data to 2017, allowing current activity to be compared with a long market history rather than read in isolation.

  • Built for trading and risk workflows.

    Use VandaTrack to identify unusual retail participation, distinguish sustained activity from short-lived noise, monitor single-name and thematic flows, and add a retail investor lens to existing trading, risk and research frameworks.

What changed
  • Consolidation of fragmented microstructure prints into behavioral trade events
  • Reduction of artificial flow inflation from fragmented trades
