  2. 0:04all right everybody in this flow review
  3. 0:06we're going to cover some well-timed
  4. 0:07options flow that hit the tape during
  5. 0:10the market-wide pullback earlier this
  6. 0:12week we'll also take a quick look at a
  7. 0:15longer hold trade that was tracked by
  8. 0:18Snorlax from the unusual whales team I'm
  9. 0:22going to navigate to my contract lookup
  10. 0:25page and here we can see the two trades
  11. 0:27we'll be looking at today the hood $48
  12. 0:31call expiring on February 21st and then
  13. 0:34we'll also look at the hood $40 call
  14. 0:37expiring in May of this year now
  15. 0:40starting us off here the hood $48 call
  16. 0:42expiring on February 21st we're going to
  17. 0:45go back in time by just one day here to
  18. 0:48see the initial fill that we'll be
  19. 0:50talking about right here at 137 p.m.
  20. 0:54central Time on Tuesday January 14th pop
  21. 0:58that bad boy open and here we are where
  22. 1:00we first saw these fills coming in all
  23. 1:04at the same time stamp right here at
  24. 1:06that 137 p.m. central with a bid ask
  25. 1:08spread of 258 to 260 we see all of these
  26. 1:13bills happening right at the ask price
  27. 1:16so that gives us the inclination but
  28. 1:19again not the guarantee that these
  29. 1:21contracts were bought Additionally the
  30. 1:23total volume definitely supersedes the
  31. 1:27open interest of under 1,500 contracts
  32. 1:30now since there is that 1469 open
  33. 1:34interest it's possible some of these
  34. 1:35transactions were closed but based on
  35. 1:38how these orders filled all at the same
  36. 1:42timestamp all at the same price and the
  37. 1:46total volume superseding that open
  38. 1:50interest signs point to this being a new
  39. 1:53bought to open position now at the time
  40. 1:56of these fills Hood was trading at $43
  41. 2:0026 per share placing these contracts 11%
  42. 2:03out of the money throughout the
  43. 2:05remainder of the afternoon this Trader
  44. 2:07experienced a bit of draw down on the
  45. 2:09position as the market continued to pull
  46. 2:11back into close on the 14th now on the
  47. 2:14unusual whales charting tool we can see
  48. 2:16exactly that right up here is where a
  49. 2:19Trader entered those contracts at
  50. 2:22$432 per share and way down here a buck
  51. 2:2760 lower was the low of day on the
  52. 2:3214th so naturally this contract took a
  53. 2:35bit of a tumble along with it so going
  54. 2:37in close on the 14th this contract had
  55. 2:40dropped
  56. 2:4127% to a buck 89 per contract now back
  57. 2:45to our chart here we can see that the
  58. 2:47overnight hold was great for this Trader
  59. 2:51before I even scroll up this massive Gap
  60. 2:54right here reflects the movement that
  61. 2:56hood experienced going into the 15th so
  62. 3:00scrolling on up here yes sir Hood gave a
  63. 3:04nice Ripper to the upside at the time of
  64. 3:06recording the high of day was
  65. 3:094623 per share so these contracts that
  66. 3:12were once 11% out of the money are now
  67. 3:15less than
  68. 3:164% out of the money now naturally that
  69. 3:20gave us a big old boost in the value of
  70. 3:23this contract so back here to the
  71. 3:26contract summary we can see that these
  72. 3:29contracts on the 15th reached a high of
  73. 3:33380 per contract from their entry of
  74. 3:37that 260 per contract this profitability
  75. 3:40put them at about
  76. 3:4346% gain the
  77. 3:46$210,600
  78. 3:47not too shabby for just an overnight
  79. 3:50hold now on this contract today bring
  80. 3:53this back to one day view we can see a
  81. 3:55transaction of about 350 contracts these
  82. 3:59filled at the mid that's why this is
  83. 4:01blue here and then followed by that we
  84. 4:03had a similarly sized ask side
  85. 4:06transaction now hypothetically this
  86. 4:08volume could be part of this open
  87. 4:10interest we won't know for sure until
  88. 4:12tomorrow when we get to see that open
  89. 4:14interest update but as it stands it
  90. 4:17seems kind of likely that most or all of
  91. 4:20this position is still open now that
  92. 4:22210k Gainer is pretty good for an
  93. 4:25overnight trade but we're not done here
  94. 4:27folks like I said we have one more
  95. 4:30contract to look at the hood $40 call
  96. 4:33expiring on May 16th now as I mentioned
  97. 4:36Snorlax from the unusual Wales team has
  98. 4:38been tracking this contract for about a
  99. 4:40month but we can see that we had some
  100. 4:43substantial action back in November
  101. 4:46before the large orders that we saw on
  102. 4:50December 20th for this $40 call so we're
  103. 4:53first going to go take a trip down
  104. 4:54memory lane and look at this transaction
  105. 4:57from November 26th
  106. 5:00now here we can see once again bills at
  107. 5:04the ask price within that bid ask spread
  108. 5:08across several orders totaling up to
  109. 5:10over 4,000 volume on the day compared to
  110. 5:14only 2,97 open interest we can be fairly
  111. 5:18certain that some of these are new
  112. 5:21positions it's not guaranteed that all
  113. 5:23of them are but the tape is hinting at
  114. 5:26us that this is indeed a new position
  115. 5:29that was spot to open looking at the
  116. 5:32contract summary for way back on the
  117. 5:3726th we can see that 4,200 contracts
  118. 5:40transacted that day with 3500 is
  119. 5:44carrying over into open interest so
  120. 5:45we're going to use that 3500 for the
  121. 5:47sake of Simplicity here now we can see
  122. 5:50in this historical flow that the
  123. 5:52contract was largely quiet across the
  124. 5:55volume Spectrum bids side transactions
  125. 5:57here some asside transactions there
  126. 6:00nothing really happened though until
  127. 6:03December 20th here we had
  128. 6:068700 contracts
  129. 6:08transact largely at the ask and 8,400 of
  130. 6:13that carried over into open interest
  131. 6:15what we're going to be looking at here
  132. 6:17on this December 20th bar is the initial
  133. 6:206700 contracts that transacted here at
  134. 6:23670 per contract from that point the
  135. 6:27contract didn't really experience
  136. 6:29against any draw down it looks like it
  137. 6:31hit its final low on December 31st where
  138. 6:35it hit a low of 538 per contract but
  139. 6:38that wasn't really that big of a deal
  140. 6:39for this Trader because we can see from
  141. 6:41that point onward we see nothing but
  142. 6:44upward price movement in the contract's
  143. 6:46value now today on the 15th Hood caught
  144. 6:50some serious bids we see an over 10%
  145. 6:54gain off the market open to hit that
  146. 6:57high of 4623 three per share as I
  147. 7:01mentioned with the $48 call we already
  148. 7:03looked at the value of this $40 call
  149. 7:08rocketed once again so let's head on
  150. 7:10back to our contract lookup and take a
  151. 7:12look at the results here this upside
  152. 7:15move put this $40 call over 15% in the
  153. 7:20money now naturally the contract value
  154. 7:22reflected that Ripper reaching a new
  155. 7:24high of
  156. 7:26$10.70 per contract now if you recall
  157. 7:29that initial fill back in November came
  158. 7:32in at an average of 552 per contract
  159. 7:35taking that up to today's high of 1070
  160. 7:39per contract this Trader is looking at a
  161. 7:4494% gain putting into perspective from
  162. 7:48their entry that means this first entry
  163. 7:51from November hit a Max profit of
  164. 7:55$1,813
  165. 7:57th000 now if we look back to our
  166. 7:59December 20th fills basing again on that
  167. 8:02initial 6700 contracts we saw these
  168. 8:06transacted at an average of 664 per
  169. 8:09contract which right again back to our
  170. 8:12high of 1070 that places this leg of the
  171. 8:16trade up
  172. 8:1761% which for the December 20th position
  173. 8:21that's a Max profit of $2.7
  174. 8:24million now there's no way to know for
  175. 8:27sure whether or not these two
  176. 8:28transaction s are the same Trader but if
  177. 8:33they are at the time of recording this
  178. 8:36video this Trader was up an astounding
  179. 8:38profit of over
  180. 8:40$4.5
  181. 8:42million and if we come on down back here
  182. 8:44to the historical volume open interest
  183. 8:46profile we can see that today on the
  184. 8:4815th no transactions have occurred
  185. 8:51whatsoever compared to that nearly
  186. 8:5315,000 contract open interest that means
  187. 8:57that this position on the $40 call is
  188. 9:00still
  189. 9:03open I hope this video kind of helps you
  190. 9:05guys figure out how we track flow from
  191. 9:08that point of entry along with
  192. 9:11positional ads and noticing that we're
  193. 9:13not seeing any exits in the volume
  194. 9:16relative to the open interest we'll be
