Unusual options activity identifies a single option trade with a volume-to-open-interest ratio (V/OI) equal to or above 10, which means the volume of the trade is much higher than the existing positions. High V/OI often implies that a trader is opening a new position with an unusual amount. Options activities are filtered based on the following criteria:
Options trade with V/OI≥10, while OI of the contract must be ≥10.
Options trade with premium≥$50,000.
The underlying asset of selected options must be individual stock with a market cap≥$5 billion.
If there are at least 3 or more trades that meet all the criteria in the corresponding time period, an article will be generated at 11:30, 13:30, and 16:30 ET each trading day.

Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
