1. Now let's see what is an option transaction?
To put it bluntly, it is the anomaly of options. Options are different from stocks, so all transactions will be announced and displayed on the option chain, not like stocks. We capture these anomalies by observing the option chain, so as to provide a reference for our trading. These abnormal situations include: 1. Large purchases of funds. For example, if the trading volume of options on a stock is usually tens or hundreds of orders, suddenly one day someone or an organization buys 5000 orders somewhere in the world, then this is a change. 2. Continuously buy an option. There is a stock option that is constantly being bought by someone or an organization somewhere in the world, which is also a kind of change.

The options activity is a good way to gauge the way the stock is going to go late in the week. Try to check them on Mondays and Thursdays to compare them to see if any more strikes have been added. When more strikes are added especially at the .50/half dollar strikes then the stock will decrease in value unless it can get double its average volume Thursday and Friday of that week. Also keep an eye on Implied volatility. As it decreases so will the price. Increasing means the demand is high. Watch for unusual options being used to cover other unusual options as a hedge also. ...

Many hedge funds, institutions and big traders use options as a hedging tool. Given the stock market is forward-looking and stock investors are often influenced by news and rumours, I can pick up changes in market sentiments about a stock, a sector or the overall market early by monitoring unusual options activity.
A much higher than average options volume can help me to identify potential opportunities for trading. Long calls and short puts are bullish while short calls and long puts are bearish. A higher premium signifies higher implied volatility i.e. the market expects greater volatility in the stock price. A short expiration date means the trader is expecting the movement in stock price to happen very soon while a long expiration date means the opposite.
