About

Big trades, made easy to read.

BigTape is a web app that shows unusually large trades on the stocks and ETFs you follow, each ranked against its ticker's own history since 2016.

What BigTape is

BigTape puts unusually large trades on one big chart as they arrive. It ranks each one against that ticker's own trades since 2016, and shades the price zones where heavy Dark volume built up. The broad market and the 11 sectors sit beside your chart, so you can see where unusual size is turning up.

Every tool is on Features, the plans are on Pricing and how ranks and levels are computed is in the methodology. BigTape is operated by SBC LLC.

What BigTape is not

BigTape isn't an investment adviser or a broker, and you can't place trades here. It doesn't say who started a trade or why it happened. It doesn't predict prices. What you do with what you see is up to you.

Five principles

Big prints come first

A big print landing is the main event on every screen. It lands on the chart, in the tape and in your lists at the same moment.

Facts only

We show what traded, how much, where, when and how it ranks. We never guess at a side or a reason, and we never tell you what to trade.

Always say how fresh

Every screen shows the state of the data and the time of the last update. If something stops, we say so.

Plain words

Every term has one plain meaning, and it reads the same everywhere. Tap any term to see it.

Calm by default

Sound starts off. You choose which alerts reach you. Nothing in BigTape rewards you for trading.

Who it's for

Anyone who invests or trades on their own and wants to know when something unusually large happens on the tickers they follow. You don't need a trading background. Every term has a one-line meaning a tap away.

BigTape supports personal and business use. Professional subscribers receive 15-minute-delayed data.
