Why did the score drop from +17 to +11 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +34.2 on 2 Oct, then fell to +15.1 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $156.70 to $156.00. It’s at +11.0 now.+8.6 from volume and +2.5 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.
