F&O Unusual Activity

A lazily loaded derivatives section that ranks underlyings by a 0–100 unusual-activity score built from volume versus its own median and OI change.

What you can do here

The command-center source includes a lazily loaded Unusual Activity section. Rows are per underlying: the section aggregates that underlying's futures and options contracts for the session. The score is on a 0–100 scale and needs both legs: the session's contracts versus the underlying's own median over up to the previous 20 stored sessions, and the OI change. At least five prior sessions are required; otherwise the row reports insufficient history instead of a zero score. Each card shows the symbol, score and volume multiple only — OI change feeds the score but is not displayed on the card. A high score does not identify informed trading or an executable strategy.

  • Inspect unusual-activity candidates with their historical baseline.
  • Open the underlying profile for the contract and expiry context behind a candidate.

The reused F&O cockpit image does not show the lower Unusual Activity results. This feature is established by the local template, not an observed ranked candidate in the PNG.

From numbers to understanding

  1. 01

    The baseline is the underlying's own median over up to 20 prior sessions, with at least 5 required.

  2. 02

    Rows aggregate futures and options contracts per underlying, not per contract.

  3. 03

    The card shows symbol, score and volume multiple; OI change is an input, not a displayed field.

  4. 04

    Insufficient history produces an unscored row, not a zero score.

  5. 05

    Cards open the underlying profile, so verify the exact contract separately before interpreting its price.

CHECK BOTH ACTIVITY LEGS

Illustrative walkthrough

Illustrative workflow: inspect a returned underlying's volume multiple and score, then open its profile. The card does not display the OI change that also feeds the score. No named stock, score or completed result is claimed from the supplied cockpit screenshot.

What this does not tell you

A combined activity score is not proof of informed positions, direction, liquidity or future performance; sparse history can prevent scoring, and the score is not a per-contract signal.

Analysis, not advice. Past performance does not predict future results. Examples are illustrative; prices, scores and counts may have changed.
