Spot $321.03 highlighted. The $300 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 3,300). 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; 127 of these 270 calls were flat.

Ask about SHW
Why did the score rise from +7 to +53 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was +4.7 on 8 Oct, then rose to +53.4 on 9 Oct as the price moved from $319.51 to $321.03. It’s at +53.4 now.

Today’s +53.4 breaks down as +50.4 from volume and +3.0 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.
