Unusual options activity

Unusual options activity means volume or premium well above normal for a contract. It is a prompt to look closer, not a signal on its own.

  1. Compare volume to open interest and the recent average.
  2. Check the side of the trade.
  3. Look for related news or events.
  4. Consider that the trade may be a hedge.

Try the unusual options volume checker.
