Unusual options activity identifies a single option trade with a volume-to-open-interest ratio (V/OI) equal to or above 10, which means the volume of the trade is much higher than the existing positions. High V/OI often implies that a trader is opening a new position with an unusual amount. Options activities are filtered based on the following criteria:
Options trade with V/OI≥10, while OI of the contract must be ≥10.
Options trade with premium≥$50,000.
The underlying asset of selected options must be individual stock with a market cap≥$5 billion.
If there are at least 3 or more trades that meet all the criteria in the corresponding time period, an article will be generated at 11:30, 13:30, and 16:30 ET each trading day.
