Spot $85.36 highlighted. The $95 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 10,490). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

One rule everywhere: a move of 0.05% or less is flat, and flat is not a hit. That is the same rule Proof uses; 881 of these 1207 calls were flat.

Ask about BIDU
Why did the score drop from +15 to +7 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was +22.8 on 8 Oct, then fell to +6.7 on 9 Oct as the price moved from $85.30 to $83.92. It’s at +6.7 now.

Today’s +6.7 breaks down as −4.4 from volume and +11.1 from open interest. I can’t split past days the same way: the stored history keeps call/put volume but not open interest for past days.
