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 $523.33. The $370 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 354).

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; 371 of these 642 calls were flat.

Ask about STRL
Why did the score drop from −25 to −38 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was −25.2 on 1 Oct, then fell to −37.3 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $500.00 to $505.12. It’s at −37.9 now.

Today’s −37.9 breaks down as −23.7 from volume and −14.2 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.
