Mag, try unleashing your pattern matching on all THAT data! I intend to. I welcome ideas and hypotheses to test. At the very least, I will provide changes in Open Interest on a 1 day and 5 day (week)lookback. Something that will be tricky to do, but might pay off big time... I'm going to try and track at what price the option was written. It is going to require bining. The option interest for AMDWU (P 22.50 Nov) is at 45937. It might be helpful to know how many were opened when the price was at 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. I said at the beginning that the Hedge fund Conspiracy Theory requires robbing the option writer blind. That's not true. If they write in the money option at a strike where they intend to make the option out of the money at expire, then the WRITERS are highly profitable. It is the holders of the option that eat it. -Magrathea
