Stock price is the last cached quote for each symbol, Oct 22, 2026, 20:08 ET, taken separately from the option capture time beside it. 15 expiry and call or put cells were held back this session for having fewer than 3 traded contracts.
How each row is built
Each row is one ticker, expiry and call or put cell: the total over every strike a delayed options chain capture holds for that expiry, never a single contract. Strikes traded counts the contracts in the cell with volume above zero, of up to 40 captured for that expiry.
Volume is summed over the up to 40 strikes around the money each capture holds per expiry, not the whole chain. A row also needs volume of at least 2 times its strikes traded, so no single contract's volume can be read from it.
A cell is published only when at least 3 of its contracts traded, and only 15 minutes or more after the capture it describes, stamped with that capture time. Thinner cells are held back and left out of every total.
Volume is the session's cumulative volume at capture. Open interest is the prior settlement. Estimated premium is volume times the quote midpoint, so it is an estimate, not a traded amount.
Nothing here says who bought or sold, or which way anyone is positioned. A chain capture does not carry that.
COMMON QUESTIONS
- Why is there no strike column?
- Each row adds up every strike a chain capture holds for one ticker, expiry and call or put, so no single contract is ever shown. The Strikes traded column says how many of those contracts had volume, and a row needs at least 3.
- Is this every option traded today?
- No. It covers a fixed list of stocks, ETFs and indexes, and in the strikes we track: each capture holds the strikes around the money for each expiration, not every listed strike. Rows with fewer than 3 traded contracts are held back.
- How delayed is it?
- The chain itself is delayed, and every row is published at least 15 minutes after the capture it describes. The Captured column is that capture time in US Eastern. Before the first capture of a session clears the delay, the previous session is shown and labelled.
- Does it show who bought or sold?
- No. A chain capture does not say which side started a trade, so this table carries no side and no direction. Volume against prior open interest above 1 means more contracts changed hands than were open at the last settlement, nothing more.
