$AMD 195c 4/19
For those that like keeping track of the whales: $AMD trader(s) from Feb 29th are most likely all out of their position(s) as of today's trading session. This is a conclusion you can come to just from this image alone. Here's what I'm thinking: 🧵 Image
My pinned tweet asks some questions that are relevant here. I won't hit on each one through this process but feel free to follow along. The UI will be slightly different but the concepts remain the same. Image
First let's look at what the opening flow looked like.
All that volume (far exceeding OI), followed by an increase in open interest the next day. Unclear exactly how many whales we're tracking but it's not relevant. Just focus on the fact that we're dealing with large volume. With some rounding the 4 large candles amount to about 11,000 volume. (Fact: a trade transacted at the ask is not necessarily a buy, nor is a trade transacted at the bid necessarily a sell. This may be contrary to what you think you know or have been taught.) With that in mind: from here on out we're looking to track around 11,000 contracts.Image

2) You'd like to see more activity towards either the bid or the ask, that way you know 'which way the flow is going' for that contract
4) You need to know if the contract activity is attached to multileg trades because that can change the sentiment (continued) Image
4 cont) If you see 1000 calls at the ask you'd think it was bullish. But if those 1000 calls are a part of a multileg trade you must take pause. Are they part of a call credit spread (🐻)? A debit spread (🐂)? Something else? Multil % isn't bad but a higher value requires more DD
5) Notional value is an arbitrary value of sorts. You just want to know that there's some actual $$ being moved. Not to say that smaller flow can't work, but (generally) you want to see at least a few hundred K at work at a minimum.

Every option strategy involves one or more of these types of trades:

Long call
Long put
Short call
Short put

unusualwhales.com/option-strateg… ImageImageImageImage
Any 2 or more of these strategies can be combined in order to create a more complex strategy. For example a long call and a short call be used in conjunction to create both a (1) bullish call debit spread or a (2) bearish call credit spread. ImageImage
A call and put can both be longed or shorted in a variety of different ways to create strategies of varying sentiment. Shorting a call and longing a put would result in a (1) bearish synthetic short while shorting a put and longing a call would create a (2) bullish risk reversal. ImageImage
