Notes:
Unusual options activity identifies a single option trade with a volume-to-open-interest ratio (V/OI) equal to or above 10, which means the volume of the trade is much higher than the existing positions. High V/OI often implies that a trader is opening a new position with an unusual amount. Options activities are filtered based on the following criteria:
Options trade with V/OI≥10, while OI of the contract must be ≥10.
Options trade with premium≥$50,000.
The underlying asset of selected options must be individual stock with a market cap≥$5 billion.
If there are at least 3 or more trades that meet all the criteria in the corresponding time period, an article will be generated at 11:30, 13:30, and 16:30 ET each trading day.
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all customers. It is important that investors read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before engaging in any options trading strategies. Options transactions are often complex and may involve the potential of losing the entire investment in a relatively short period of time. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk, including the potential for losses that may exceed the original investment amount. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request.
The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Customers should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the customer considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.

提示：
期權異動旨在篩選出對應時段V/OI較高的期權成交，V/OI即成交/持倉比例，是期權單筆成交量(Volume)與該合約未平倉數(Open Interest)的對比值，較高的V/OI往往暗示著有交易者在新建數量異常的倉位。
期權異動按照以下標準進行篩選：
V/OI≥10，即該合約的成交量遠高於其未平倉數，其中OI>10。
單筆交易期權金≥5萬美元。
入選期權的標的資產為美股正股，正股要求其市值≥50億美元。
若在對應時段有超過3筆V/OI≥10的交易，將在美東時間11:30、13:30和16:30各生成一篇期權異動資訊。
交易期權前，投資者應先了解其交易特點和風險，詳情請參考Options Disclosure Document(ODD)。
