This is bullshit, max pain for July 31 expiration is the $37 strike and there is way more call OI than put side.

Been pulling EoD options chain data (ticker + greeks, CSV output) from `api.onclickmedia.com/options/` for a personal project - no official docs, no API key, and the requests only work with a spoofed browser `User-Agent/Origin/Referer` pointing at `web.onclickmedia.com`, which already feels a bit sketchy.
Data itself is decent (EOD strikes, greeks, volume, OI going back a few years) but I've hit some real quality issues:
- some dates return the entire day's chain duplicated (thousands of duplicate rows, not just a handful)
- occasional non-identical "duplicate" rows for the same contract (differing bid/ask/greeks)
- no rate-limit docs, no changelog, no status page I can find
Anyone here actually used this as a data source? Trying to figure out if it's a known/trusted free alternative to paid options data (like ORATS, CBOE DataShop, etc.) or if I should treat it as unreliable/scraped and look elsewhere. Do you have any information on who runs it or how accurate it's been for you?

I wouldn't say go all in with WEN but I just looked at the options chain - I don't entirely understand options chains, but from what I DO understand - the OI column - I think maybe we wanna keep the price above 8.50 until July 17? (And hopefully beyond, but uhhhh it appears that a LOT of short positions are riding on the price going below that number. Presuming I understand what I'm looking at.)

Sensibull and Quantsapp already cover quite a bit of this (OI, Max Pain, FII/DII, option chain etc.), but I haven't seen a true Unusual Whales style options flow tool for NSE either. If anyone knows one, I'm interested too.

put call ratio OI , 2+ , expect MM to rugpull us and moon

Can you explain to how OI data helps you in building confluence?

NO IV + Max Pain, Volume and OI Data until today (06/30/2026) or until Monday (07/05/2026)

Thanks! Honestly, it's mostly just a basic momentum algo based on Open Interest data. I just look for some specific anomalies in the OI flow do some math on them and Done!

I would flip the order a bit. For the wheel, I don't start with "does this put pay well?" I start with "would I be annoyed owning 100 shares at this strike?"
The stock itself is in the middle of it all. My usual order is: fundamentals pick the stock, technicals time the entry, options metrics pick the contract. If you flip that order, you end up chasing premium on names you never actually wanted to own.
For filters, I would layer them like this:
1. Stock quality first. Market cap, liquidity, debt/equity, cash flow, business quality.
2. Technical setup second. Support matters more than RSI by itself. I'd rather sell a put near a clear support level on a boring uptrend than sell one on a falling stock.
3. Options chain last. OI/liquidity, bid/ask spread, IV rank, DTE, delta, and no earnings inside the DTE if you don't want event risk.
Also, delta is not enough by itself. Delta can be misleading because it comes from a pricing model, not a risk metric on its own. A 0.30 delta at 7 DTE and a 0.30 delta at 45 DTE are not the same trade.
I wrote a longer version on \[what filters matter when trying to find stocks for the wheel\](https://www.reddit.com/r/optionstrading/comments/1u198h9/what\_filters\_matter\_when\_trying\_to\_find\_stocks/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button), and a separate one on \[how I select strike, delta, DTE, and thesis\](https://www.reddit.com/r/optionstrading/comments/1u1aput/how\_i\_select\_strike\_delta\_dte\_and\_thesis/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button). Short version: thesis first, then the trade.

COMEX OI

If by 'this zone' you mean 53–62 or so, then sure. But we spent a lot of time lower in the 50's in those previous examples (the examples you gave prior to this year). Of course we've dropped a touch from February, but I'd agree that I don't think that dropping into the 40's is around the corner whatsoever.
My base case is that—unless we get a major correction in equities—we establish new lows in the 50's while bouncing into the 60's between here and the end of the bear. I think 40's could happen if the global economy faces serious headwinds (interest rates, falling tech, etc.), but we're already 'stretched'. The main issue is we are still seeing strong ETF outflows and risk assets outside AI / tech are not doing very well. Since ETF flows are probably guided by our negative price action combined with negative outlook for the summer (and some rotation to other asset types doing much better than crypto) to attract flows back we'd need to demonstrate a floor or stabilize price somehow. Confidence is low and will remain low until it looks like a good opportunity. And right now (based on puts vs calls, polymarket, OI, greed and fear index, etc.) there's certainly not much confidence about where the price is going to go.

I would suggest doing a lot of research before jumping into options. You not ready dog. Learn the greeks, understand how they affect value. Know how to enter and exit a position, learn what open interest and volume are. The contract you’re holding has poor liquidity, meaning low OI and volume plus the bid ask spread is wide so you aren’t guaranteed a fair price when you exit

I left this sub back in early February as the hopium and terrible AI posts by bababuy pushed me over the limit as well as the underwhelming performance in January. I said this stock was going to be a opportunity loss vs the US market and was right. Now I'm back because ehat I care about which is the options flow today says the days of being bled dry are coming to an end.
September expiry saw massive 33 million dollar positions open with a 100 strike. 24x the OI so this is a new whale getting ready to ride the wave. Same strike and expiry on the put side a 55 million dollar premium was collected. Both executed at the same time up to the very second.
I will be starting entering long as of tomorrow. For those who suffered; dont give up hope!

IV + Max Pain, Volume and OI Data, every day until MOASS AND/or western society collapses — 06/29/2026

Like today. CNXC had 3X the volume on the 20P than the OI and checking the options activity, people were expecting a massive move after earnings.

Look at the volume and OI and there's your answer

The OI on SNDK 7/2 1000p is funny as fuck

Hey where can I learn about what delta, theta or OI, IV and all affect trading options and how to use them as indicators for trading?

This is the right way to read it, and the funding plus OI combination is the tell most people miss. Low funding with falling OI on an "inflow" day usually means shorts covering, not longs initiating, and that distinction is everything. Short covering mechanically looks like buying, price ticks up, but there's no new leveraged demand underneath it, so it stalls the moment the covering's done. That's why the streak breaking isn't bullish on its own.
Your funding comparison to Jan and April is the sharpest part. A real breakout needs funding to actually expand because new longs are paying up to get positioned. 0.01% versus the 0.06% you saw confirm those moves tells you the conviction isn't there yet. The IBIT-only flow composition fits the same picture, one allocator rotating, not broad demand. Waiting for funding to spike or a second inflow week before calling it is exactly the right filter, the first green day is the one that traps people.

The spot ETF outflow streak ended at thirteen days on June 3, with $4.33 billion total leaving since mid-May. Then on June 12 we got a $145 million inflow day. The question is whether this is the start of a reversal or just a short covering rally before the next leg down.
I pulled BTC funding rate data from Coinglass and a couple of exchanges I use to get a wider view. On BYDFi the funding hit around 0.01% when the inflow showed up on June 12. In real breakout scenarios in January and April, funding spiked above 0.06% within 48 hours of the first inflow day. The current level suggests this is more repositioning than new leveraged demand.
OI is saying the same thing. Total perp OI for BTC is down roughly twelve percent from the May high. In January, OI grew into the breakout. In April, it stayed flat but did not drop. Now we are seeing lower OI combined with neutral funding, which usually means shorts are covering into weakness rather than longs piling in.
The other thing that makes me cautious is the ETF flow composition. The June 12 inflow was mostly into BlackRock's IBIT, but FBTC and Ark's ETF still saw small outflows. That is not broad-based buying. It is one or two large allocators rotating, which can reverse just as fast. I am not short here but I am not adding size either. Waiting for either a second consecutive inflow week or funding to actually spike before calling this a bottom.
