OI Pattern Tracker - Options Trading Signal System

🎯 Project Overview

An intelligent system that analyzes daily open interest (OI) changes across multiple stocks to identify high-probability options trading opportunities. The system tracks OI patterns over 100 days, clusters similar behaviors, and generates specific long call/put recommendations with 70%+ success probability targets.

💡 Core Concept

The system is based on the principle that institutional options positioning (reflected in OI changes) can predict future price movements. By tracking daily OI changes and identifying multi-day patterns, we can:

1. Detect institutional accumulation/distribution
2. Group stocks showing similar OI patterns
3. Generate high-confidence trading signals
4. Recommend specific strikes and expirations (60-70 days out)

🔑 Key Features

1. Daily OI Analysis

• Pulls open interest data for 100+ stocks daily
• Tracks changes in call/put OI
• Calculates put/call ratios and shifts
• Identifies new strike concentrations

2. Pattern Recognition

• Accumulation Patterns: Steady OI increases over 5-10 days
• Distribution Patterns: OI unwinding signals
• Squeeze Setups: Gamma/short squeeze potential
• Strike Pinning: Heavy OI creating price magnets

3. Clustering Algorithm

Groups stocks showing similar patterns:

• Tech momentum plays
• Sector rotations
• Hedging activity
• Institutional positioning

4. Signal Generation

Provides specific trade recommendations:

• Exact strike prices
• Optimal expiration dates (60-70 DTE)
• Confidence scores based on historical patterns
• Entry/exit guidelines

📊 How It Works

Daily Process Flow:

1. Data Collection → Pull OI data for all tracked tickers
2. Change Calculation → Compare to previous days
3. Pattern Detection → Identify multi-day trends
4. Clustering → Group similar patterns
5. Signal Generation → Create trade recommendations

🛠 Technical Architecture

Data Pipeline

• Collection: Daily OI snapshots from options chains
