Options trending stocks

TheDesperateTrader.com· what r/options is buzzing about

The tickers r/options is talking about most right now, where the options flow and unusual activity gets discussed, ranked by the engagement each name is drawing. The edge here is the last column: a Volume flag on any name that is also tripping our real-time unusual-volume scanner, so you can tell the Reddit noise from the names where the tape is actually moving. Starting point for research, not a signal. Do your own homework.

Both loud AND moving right now: $META, $GOOG, $SOFI, $SPY, $ET, $QQQ, $CC, $OCC. These are the ones getting Reddit attention while the volume backs it up.

How this works

We read the posts in r/options over the last week, pull out the tickers people actually mention (validated against real symbols, trader slang filtered out), and rank them by the upvotes and comments each name draws. The Volume flag is our own real-time scanner: a LIVE tag means that name has tripped an unusual-volume alert in the last two days, so the crowd’s attention lines up with real tape.
