❓ Help centre

Every page of the site has its own help — what it shows, how to read each number, and a 🎓 Pro tip for experienced readers. You can open it from the page itself with the ❓ Help button (bottom right) or the H key; this is the same set in one place.

💡 Four things that are true on every page 1. Each page's help is written for someone new to options, with the exact thresholds the page uses in a "value → meaning" table.
2. "Unusual" always means unusual for that ticker, against its own previous 60 sessions — never against other tickers.
3. The site describes: a number is a distance, a position or a count read off the data. Nothing is a forecast, a target or a recommendation.
4. Unknown word? The glossary explains every short word and symbol.
