Liquidity is everything in options trading. Options outside the Top 10 ETFs and Top 25 stocks by volume typically have wide bid-ask spreads, thin order books, and low open interest — making it extremely difficult to enter and exit at fair prices. Trading illiquid options dramatically reduces win rates and results in severe slippage. We deliberately curate only the most liquid names because those are the only ones where data actually translates into executable trades. Options in the long tail are statistically a losing game — we simply won't send you there.

LEAP options (Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities) expire 1–3 years out. The LEAP C/P ratio reveals long-term positioning by institutional investors — the kind of players who think in quarters, not days. When LEAP calls significantly outweigh LEAP puts, it often signals institutional accumulation or strategic bullish conviction, not short-term noise. The LEAP C/P ratio is one of our most powerful signals for surfacing multi-month opportunities before they become obvious to the market — it's where smart money whispers its real thesis.

The hottest contract each day shows which specific strike and expiry attracted the most concentrated activity. This is where institutional flow converges — a single heavily-traded contract can signal an expected price move, an earnings play, or an upcoming catalyst event. It's not enough to know that options activity is elevated on a stock; you need to know exactly where the market is placing its bets. The hottest contract is that pin. It often captures the single most actionable insight in the entire day's report.

We made a deliberate choice to show less, not more. The US options market generates millions of data points daily — but most of it is noise. Information overload leads to analysis paralysis and worse decisions. Every metric we include has passed a strict filter: does it meaningfully predict market direction or reveal institutional intent? Data that doesn't meet that bar gets cut. A focused 2-minute read that surfaces the right signals beats a 2-hour data dump every time. Our curation is the product.

CBOE stopped free CSV downloads in 2019. Their website shows only aggregate totals — not broken down by individual stock. The granular data we provide (LEAP ratios, average trade size, per-stock C/P breakdown) costs $500–$2,000/month directly from CBOE. We process the raw market data and deliver only what matters, ranked and ready before market open.

Unusual Whales ($48/mo) and FlowAlgo ($149/mo) are real-time dashboards designed for full-time traders who watch screens all day. OptionsDaily is a daily digest — one read per morning, no monitoring required. We also include LEAP ratios and average trade size that neither competitor offers. If you're a part-time or busy trader who wants the signal without the noise, OptionsDaily is purpose-built for you.

The C/P ratio (Call-to-Put ratio) is the volume of call options divided by put options for a given symbol. A ratio above 1.0 means more calls than puts were traded — a bullish signal. Below 1.0 skews bearish. A ratio above 2.0 is notably bullish; below 0.5 is notably bearish. It's not a guarantee, but it reflects the aggregate position of every options trader on that stock that day. Watch for extreme readings — they often precede significant moves.

Clicking any symbol opens its history page. Basic users see the full history table — rank, volume, C/P ratio, LEAP ratio, and average trade size for every day that symbol appeared in the report. Pro users additionally unlock interactive trend charts that reveal whether institutional interest is growing, fading, or consistent — context that a single day's ranking can never provide.

Deep Analysis is an AI-powered report that interprets the options data for a specific symbol, highlighting unusual activity, dominant flow direction, and potential implications. It contextualizes the raw numbers — explaining what the C/P ratio, LEAP ratio, and hottest contract might mean for near-term price action. Available on the Pro plan.

Size refers to the average number of contracts per order — the typical trade size. Large average size indicates institutional activity (block trades), while small size points to retail. High volume with large average size is a fundamentally different signal from the same volume in small retail-sized lots. Size is the filter that separates professional conviction from everyday noise.
