1/31/2018 8:55:49 AM @lava.. many thanks! must be one of the differentiator say vis a vis SGMS (albeit CARS didn't break down thru EMA50 and SGMS did). |

1/31/2018 1:39:23 PM SQ up some 3% since mentioned on 1/23 keeps attracting call buyers. Noteworthy today nearly 5000 contracts for the March 38 strike, representing a bet of $ 4.5 mln. Underlying now at 46.52. |

1/31/2018 1:58:31 PM https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2018/01/30/call-buyers-hit-a-winner-with-extreme-networks-stock/#381313b87aae Shares of network infrastructure equipment maker Extreme Networks just touched a 16-year high on news the stock will be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. At the time of this writing, EXTR is trading up 9.1% at $15.01, bringing its 12-month advance to 172%. In fact, the shares have closed eight straight quarters in positive territory. Call buyers have been enjoying the run, too. |

1/31/2018 4:26:13 PM Bo, Lava is correct. I cheated and used Mid instead of Ask & Above. Many times big boys try to hide their plays by buying near the high like CARS. Notice its $6.40 purchase price is closer to the Ask $6.50. This means the Call was bought instead of sold. 
Sandjo, The TOTAL Call/Put option volume is FREE. Go to "OPTIONS" at the top of the menu, then choose "OPTION VOLUMES", then type the symbol into the "SEARCH" box. 
Order Sentiment can be found under "OPTIONS" menu on the LEFT hand side. 
The reason why I didn't choose SGMS yesterday was its March expiration was too close to its earnings around end of February to beginning of March. If you're wrong, your option premium will be eviscerated with very little time to recover. HTH |

1/31/2018 4:48:20 PM @Lavapit Ahhh, i got it.. Thanks @TuanP , i think im starting to get a hang of it now.. lets look at the chart you posted.. SPB: there are 3 plays , each at 10,000 QTY, so that is most likely it's an Iron condor spread , and that someone is betting the stock will stay within range ? for AAPL: it's a bought call for VMW: 12:28pm 135 PUT, someone sold that put since it's closer to the BID price, Am I correct on those ? |

1/31/2018 5:32:38 PM Bo, I'm thinking you're right on SPB & AAPL. Harder to tell on VMW unless you click on the "TRADES" page to see the times. Since this was yesterday's trades, I no longer have access since I'm not a member. Great job on understanding this better now! |

1/31/2018 7:44:13 PM I have few queries around marketchameleon: 1. I understand looking at "Common" in the "Stock Type" dropdown. Why not ETFs? Does buying of big blocks of call and put in ETFs does give a clear picture? 2. My understanding is that we should look at "AutoExecution", "Regular" and "StoppedIM" conditions only. Am I correct? What do these conditions mean? Is there any other condition that we should look at? |

1/31/2018 7:49:14 PM One more query. Is there any way I can look at big block options trading for a stock over last few days/weeks? For example, I want to see what the smart money has been doing in AAPL for last 15 days so that I can get a clearer picture of where they think the stock is going? |
