Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have questions, send us a message and our customer support team will respond within 24 hours or less.

What is Unusual Paper?

Unusual Paper is an online research platform that provides access to real-time unusual options activity, daily trending options, stock charts, and more. You can create custom trade alerts for unusual options trades and trending options with real-time SMS Text Message and Email notifications. Get notified in real-time for the stocks and options that you can about most.

Does Unusual Paper offer real-time data?

Yes. The unusual options data is provided in real-time as trades are executed. We make every effort to provide the data with minimal delay to be as close to real-time as possible, but it can take up to 60-120 seconds to deliver the SMS text message and email trade alerts due to the logistics of how text messages and emails are processed and delivered to the receiving mobile carrier provider or email service provider. The data on the trending options page is refreshed every 5 minutes.

How does the free trial work?

It’s simple… You can sign up and try Unusual Paper for free for 7 days. There are no upfront charges, and you will not be charged if you close your account during the first 7 days. No fine print. No games. No hassles. Test drive Unusual Paper free for 7 days and pay $0 if you cancel the service during the 7 day free trial period. The free trial is only offered for the monthly pricing plan. There are no refunds for the annual pricing plan subscription.

Why do you need my credit card for the free trial?

We require all new customers to submit a credit card number during the checkout process to protect against fraud from dishonest people that attempt to create numerous free trial accounts. At the time of sign up, a temporary authorization will be placed on your credit card to confirm that your payment method is actually valid, but the temporary authorization will be released within 48 hours. No final charges will be billed to your credit card until after the 7 day free trial period is over and you will only be charged if your account remains open after the 7 day free trial period is over.

Can Unusual Paper be used to execute trades?

No. Unusual Paper is not a trading brokerage and we do not handle customers’ trading funds. Unusual Paper simply provides access to information. You will need to execute trades through your own trading brokerage account.

How do I close my account?

Unlike other services out there, we make it easy to close your account. You can cancel your account on your own at any time – and you don’t even need to contact customer support. Simply login to your Unusual Paper account, click the “Settings” link, then click the “Close Account” link. Once you click the Close Account button on this page, your account will be closed immediately and there will be no future charges. It’s that simple. If you need help with closing your Unusual Paper account, please contact our customer support team and we will assist you further. Please note, access to your Unusual Paper account and the real-time trade alerts ends immediately after you cancel the service. There are no prorated refunds after the free trial period ends. If you paid on Monday and then you cancel the service on Tuesday, your access to the Unusual Paper account and the real-time trade alerts ends on that same Tuesday.

How does the refund policy work?

We don’t want your money if you’re not happy with the service provided. On top of the 7 day free trial that we offer to all new customers, we offer a 100% refund guarantee if you cancel the service within the first 14 days and request a refund. You can cancel at any time for any reason, but you must cancel within the first 14 days and you must request a refund to be eligible for the 100% Refund Guarantee. If you cancel the service after the first 14 days, you will not be eligible for a refund under any circumstances. There are no refunds for the annual plan. If you are unsure about the service, please sign up for the monthly plan since the monthly plan includes a 7 day free trial.

Do I need a USA phone number to receive text alerts?

No, but if you’re using an international phone number (outside of the USA or Canada), your account will incur international usage fees for receiving text messages. International text message rates start at $0.02 per text message. The price will vary based on your specific country / local region. There are no extra charges for using a mobile phone number from the USA or Canada.

Where can I access my billing invoices?
