Option Mark


This tool calculates where the most CALL and PUTS will expire worthless. This “Option Mark” is calculated by the Open Interest for each strike, the Mark is the spot where the most options (Calls and Puts) will expire worthless. You will notice that the Market Maker will drift the price of the stock to around the “Option Mark” on Expiration Friday aka the third Friday of the month. You will notice that some stocks will move closer to the “Option Mark”.

GOOGLE is one of the stocks that have been somewhat accurate. I will pick on GOOGLE because there are a few articles out talking about GOOGLE price manipulation and talking about prices being adjusted around the “Option Mark”.

Have you ever seen a stock that moved hard in one direction for no apparent reason?
There is a good chance that the option mark came into play.

** Added support for OEX, NDX, VIX, etc **
