Spot $218.73 highlighted. The $240 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 2,017). 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; 158 of these 295 calls were flat.

Ask about PGR
Why did the score drop from +22 to +5 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was +38.4 on 2 Oct, then fell to +6.0 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $210.96 to $210.31. It’s at +5.2 now.

Today’s +5.2 breaks down as +5.4 from volume and −0.2 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.
