Understanding Unusual Options Activity (UOA)
What is UOA?
Unusual Options Activity refers to options trades that stand out due to their size, urgency, and aggression. These trades can sometimes signal that a trader or institution has a strong conviction about a large, near-term move in the underlying stock, potentially due to information that is not widely known.
How to Interpret This Table
This tool scans for and highlights trades with the following characteristics:
- High V/OI Ratio: The daily volume is significantly higher than the existing open interest, suggesting new positions are being opened.
- Large Premium: The total dollar value of the trade is substantial, indicating a significant capital commitment.
- Short Expiry (DTE): The options are set to expire soon (typically within 45 days), signaling urgency.
- Aggressive Entry: The trades were executed at or above the midpoint of the bid-ask spread, suggesting buyers were willing to pay a premium to enter the position quickly.
