Quick Tip: Best Option Setup

Unusual Options Activity (UOA) is a great leading indicator of price. 

What are they? Identifying the best candidates starts with an extreme volume spike relative to small open interest (existing contracts not yet closed out). 

Technical analysts generally agree that volume leads price, so this basis makes sense. If a stock is trading at $30 and massive volume occurs today in the $40 call options you could infer that someone might know something!

You probably have plenty of questions needing answers before you accept this concept. I certainly did!

Here’s the good news… there is definitive research over thousands of trades that will answer your questions. Click here for free access to our latest training session. 

Of course, knowing the answers doesn’t solve the problem of finding the Unusual Options Activity among millions of options traded daily! But you’ll learn how to do that in this training session as well.

Trade Fearlessly,
