Follow the Smart Money with Unusual Options Activity

Unusual Options Activity identifies options contracts that are trading at a higher volume relative to the contract’s average daily volume and/or open interest. There is a common saying among traders to follow the "Smart Money" and one way to discover what large institutional traders and money managers are trading is to use Barchart's Unusual Options Activity page.
Unusual Options Activity can provide clues into what the “smart money” is doing because high volume can potentially indicate newly established positions with the expectation of a big move in the underlying equity. This exclusive webinar will teach you how to interpret the UOA page so that you can drill down on the valuable data and ignore the noise.
Join John Rowland, Barchart’s Senior Market Strategist, as he brings his 35+ years of trading experience to help you identify the most promising unusual options trades. John will walk through examples of where the "smart money" is possibly anticipating a big price move in the underlying asset and explain how to distinguish between hedges and bets. By the end of the webinar, you will have the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use Barchart’s Unusual Options Activity page and confidently apply it to your own unique trading strategy.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- Interpreting Barchart’s Unusual Options Activity Page
- Using Barchart’s Time & Sales Data (NEW FEATURE)
- Identifying Bullish vs. Bearish Strategies
- Applying Chart Analysis to your Trading Strategy
Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain exclusive insights into institutional trading activity and learn how to profit from Unusual Options Activity.

Hey Mr Rowland, just want to ask. I found that it is easy to find timesales. But i still get confused as to know whether this strategy is bullish or bearish. If the put/call OI ratio is showing bearish, but the put call volume ratio is showing bullish, on that same option series, what strategy should we insist on?

[@BarchartOfficial]

Thanks for watching and great question. Please email [e-mail] and we'll do our best to get you a good answer to your question.

[@paulc2150]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@cmunshaw]

Seems interesting, yet how reliable is this when market makers and hedge funds can hide size when routing through exchanges like ARCA?

[@BarchartOfficial]

Thanks a lot for watching!
