About this options volume data
This page shows call and put options volume by ticker for one completed trading session. Choose SPY, QQQ, NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, AMD, AMZN, META, MSFT or PLTR to see how many call and put contracts traded, the premium paid, the put/call volume ratio, volume by strike and gamma exposure by strike.
The totals add up the option trades recorded in CaymanBot's feed for that ticker and session, so they can differ from figures published by exchanges or other data vendors. The data is delayed at least 48 hours. A new snapshot is published once a day and covers the last completed session that closed at least 48 hours before publication.
Volume and open interest answer different questions. Volume counts contracts that traded during the session. Open interest counts contracts that were still open after clearing, and the Positioning panel lists call and put open interest next to the volume figures. One contract can change hands several times in a day, so high volume does not by itself mean that new positions were opened. The guide to options volume versus open interest explains how to read the two together.
Volume describes activity, not direction. A call can be bought or sold, used as a hedge or traded as one leg of a spread, so high call volume is not the same as bullish buying. Use these numbers as a starting point for research on a ticker, not as a trade signal.
Frequently asked questions
What does the options volume by ticker page show?
Call and put contract volume, premium, the put/call volume ratio, volume by strike and gamma exposure for one completed session, for SPY, QQQ, NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, AMD, AMZN, META, MSFT and PLTR. The totals come from the option trades recorded in CaymanBot's feed.
Is this options volume data real-time or delayed?
Delayed on this page: figures are delayed at least 48 hours and update once per day, with each snapshot covering the last completed session that closed at least 48 hours before publication. No account is required to view it. A free CaymanBot account shows options data with a much shorter delay (the app states it), and Premium gets real-time data in the app for OPRA non-professional subscribers, along with individual prints and alerts.
How is the put/call volume ratio calculated?
Put contract volume divided by call contract volume for the session shown. A value above 1 means more put contracts than call contracts traded. The ratio does not show whether those contracts were bought or sold, opened or closed.
What is the difference between options volume and open interest?
Volume counts contracts traded during the session. Open interest counts contracts still open after clearing. One contract can trade several times in a day, so the two numbers answer different questions.
Is high call volume bullish?
Not by itself. High call volume means many call contracts traded. Those trades can be sales, closing trades, hedges or legs of spreads, so the figure describes activity, not direction.
What does the GEX panel on this page show?
An estimate of dealer gamma positioning for the ticker. The Positioning panel shows total GEX, the gamma flip strike, the put/call open interest ratio and call and put open interest. The GEX tab charts exposure by strike for strikes within 10% of the spot price and can switch between GEX, vanna and charm. All of it comes from the last GEX snapshot taken at least 48 hours before publication, so it describes positioning, not direction.
