QOG Option tools includes three sections: Option Statistic, OI Change and Option Chain.

‍

Option Statistic

Options statistics help you summarize the different dimensions of option flows for stocks of interest, making it easy for you to understand the market conditions quickly. We use bar charts or tables to show the statistics, the higher the bar / darker the color indicates larger option order premium.

You can choose the time range you want to count, default time options include: last day, this week, last week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, you can also customize the time range you choose. One year of historical data is supported.

About filter settings, please refer to Option Query tutorial.

You can include and display only the dimensions you are interested in for statistics. Different combinations of dimensions will give you different results, and not all combinations will be accepted. If your combination is invalid, an error message will be displayed. Below you will find examples of common dimension combinations.

As shown below, setting a single dimension will display a bar chart based on that dimension's data.

‍

As shown below, setting two dimensions will display statistical table based on the two dimensions.

As shown below, setting three or more dimensions will display a table. You can click on the dimention titles to sort them.

If the date is selected as a dimension, then the chart will have a timeline and you can drag the scroll bar to see how the data changes with the date. For example:
