Looking For Excess Option Activity? The Sizzle Index Can Help With That | Long Options

Long Options | Connie Hill | 10-10-24 Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. https://bit.ly/2v9tH6D Sometimes you might hear of excess option activity in a stock. Sometimes there is a news story that prompts that activity but sometimes its just pure speculation.

A 3 means 3 times the average volume in the last 5 days. In this session you'll learn what the sizzle index is, how to run that scan and discussion on what some of the numbers might mean. When might it make sense for options traders to be an option buyer?
