Bullish Volume Multiplier Tool

Call Volume Just Spiked. Does Price Follow?

The Bullish Volume Multiplier tool compares today's call volume to its trailing 30-day average. A high reading means traders are loading up on calls.

Unusual options activity is one of the most-watched, least-measured tells in the market. When a ticker's call volume suddenly runs hot, the read is supposed to be bullish: someone is positioning for a move up and the crowd piles in behind them. But raw call volume tells you nothing on its own. A megacap trading a million calls is a quiet Tuesday; a smaller name trading the same is a stampede. The only honest way to read it is against the ticker's own recent norm.

That is what the multiplier does: it divides today's call volume by the trailing 30-day average. A reading of 1x is a normal day; 2x means calls are trading twice as fast as usual; 3x is a genuine surge. The decision-relevant question is conditional: my ticker's call volume is running this hot, what has price historically done from a reading like this?

How Traders are using the Bullish Volume Multiplier Tool

1

Spot the call-volume surge

Check if any stocks on your watchlist or in the market have unusual call volume today.

2

Check the projected price

Open the 45-day price cone. It shows how price behaved after similar call-volume surges in the past. This gives you a realistic view of what typically happens next instead of guessing.

3

Size the move with the bar graph

Switch to Bar Graph view and set your target price level. The bars show how often similar call-volume surges reached that distance by upcoming expirations. Toggle between "By Touch" and "By Close" depending on your strategy.

4

Review the events log for context

Before acting on the signal, open the events log. Check how many historical matches exist and whether they cluster in one period. A small sample or regime-specific cluster tells you the signal may be less reliable than the percentages suggest.
