Where the positions sit

No per-strike chain is stored for this name yet, so we can’t show where the positions sit. The totals above still come from today’s chain.
Spot $116.47. The $120 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 1,148).

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; 263 of these 349 calls were flat.

Ask about MAA
Why did the score rise from −43 to −33 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was −43.3 on 2 Oct, then rose to −32.9 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $116.38 to $115.33. It’s at −32.9 now.

Today’s −32.9 breaks down as −16.5 from volume and −16.4 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.
