The job
Answer "what is happening in this ticker’s options" before deciding which deeper read to open.
What this recipe computes
- Spot, 30-day implied volatility and its 1-year rank for the symbol.
- The session’s option premium, call share and bullish share.
- The largest single prints in that name, with strike, expiry and sentiment.
What it does not claim
- Sentiment is feed-classified from option type and quote-side execution; it is not a position.
- One print is not a trade idea — the tape carries no link between rows.
- Vol figures are vendor fields; no realized-volatility comparison is made here.
How to read it
Step 1
Type a symbol
Everything resolves for the latest completed session, or a date you pin.
Step 2
Read premium against IV rank
Heavy premium on a low IV rank is a different setup from heavy premium on a high one.
Step 3
Go deeper where it matters
Gamma Levels for structure, Expected Move for what is priced, Vol Surface for the whole vol map.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this the same as an option chain?
- No. A chain lists every contract. This summarises the session for the symbol — how much premium traded, how it split, where implied vol sits, and which tickets were largest.
- Why is bullish premium lower than call premium?
- Calls are not automatically bullish. A call sold at the bid classifies differently from one lifted at the ask, and neutral prints — spreads and hedges — count toward neither side.

- Option flowOption flow is the time-and-sales stream of options prints: contract, size, premium, and inferred aggressor side.
- IV RankIV Rank places today’s implied volatility between its recent high and low so “expensive” or “cheap” is relative to that underlying’s history.
- Open interest (OI)Open interest is how many options contracts remain open. Unlike volume, it does not reset each morning and usually updates after the session.

- Options Flow for Swing TradersSwing traders care about positioning that can last more than a day: unusual flow, OI confirmation, and walls for multi-day levels.
