Options prints can represent speculation, hedging, spreads, closing transactions, or part of a larger portfolio. That is why MarketUnclouded treats flow as one input rather than a complete thesis.
Start with the underlying
Price structure, catalyst, liquidity, and volatility regime help frame what the options activity might mean.
Understand the contract
Strike, expiration, premium, implied volatility, and whether the option traded near bid or ask all provide context.
Avoid false precision
Without full position-level information, it is often impossible to know the exact intention behind a trade.
Interesting flow can generate a research question. It should not automatically generate a trade.
