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 $221.03. The $240 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 1,497). 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; 1180 of these 2000 calls were flat.

Ask about PNC
Why did the score drop from +21 to +18 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was +21.0 on 2 Oct, then fell to +17.6 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $220.75 to $221.03. It’s at +17.6 now.

Today’s +17.6 breaks down as +17.2 from volume and +0.4 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.
