How to read this unusual options flow

What each row is

One options trade where the contract's volume today is at least 2x its open interest and the premium is large. That suggests new positions are being opened, not old ones closed. How trades are flagged.

Why premium matters

Total premium is the dollars actually paid for the trade. A $2M order in one contract is far more likely to be institutional than a $20K one, even with the same volume/OI ratio.

Bullish vs bearish

Calls bought at or above the ask are tagged bullish. Puts bought at or above the ask are tagged bearish. Puts are often bought as hedges, so bearish doesn't always mean a bet on a drop.

When it updates

Trades are added during regular market hours, 9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET. Times are shown in Eastern Time. Hit Refresh for the latest trades.

What is unusual options activity?

Unusual options activity (UOA) is an options trade much larger than normal for that contract, typically where the day's volume exceeds the existing open interest. It means new money is likely taking a position in a hurry, often a large trader or institution.

Traders watch UOA because big, urgent orders sometimes come before a move in the stock. But many large trades are hedges, parts of spreads, or positions being closed, so it is a lead to investigate, not a signal to copy. Our complete guide to unusual options activity explains how to read it, and volume vs. open interest covers the ratio behind every row.

Unusual options activity FAQ

Is this unusual options activity scanner free?

Yes. The scanner is completely free and needs no login or account. It shows the most recent large options trades flagged by our filters, with ticker, contract, premium, volume/OI ratio, and sentiment.

What makes an options trade unusual?

A trade is unusual when its size stands out from what normally trades in that contract. This scanner flags trades where the contract's same-day volume is at least 2x its open interest and the total premium is large, which suggests new money is taking a position.

How often does the unusual options feed update?

New trades are added during regular market hours, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern. The page shows the latest flagged trades each time it loads and is refreshed at least every two minutes. Use the Refresh button for the newest data.

Does unusual options activity predict where a stock will go?

Not on its own. Many large trades are hedges, spreads, or positions being closed, so unusual options activity is a starting point for research rather than a trade signal. Check the chart, upcoming catalysts, and whether open interest rose the next day before acting.
