Price Direction Bias - BigDipperOptions Docs

Price Direction Bias is section 2 on the Options Chain Report. It is a heatmap of expiry (rows) × strike (columns). Each cell shows score (printed in the cell and color-coded). Hover for call/put, expiry, strike, delta, median price, and score details.

This view helps you see where activity and score cluster—it is not a buy/sell signal. See What Does the Score Show?.

Controls

Control	Purpose
Top % Activity	Filter by activity threshold
Min Calls/Puts	Minimum call or put activity filter
Min OI/expiry	Minimum open interest per expiry
Filter (funnel)	Additional section filters

The Score color legend on the right shows the live range for that chain (e.g. 0 → ~5.67 call / put). Full UI walkthrough: Navigation tips — Price Direction Bias.

What to look for

Pattern	Plain read
Dark / high-score cells	More engagement at that strike and expiry vs peers on the symbol
Clusters across strikes	Positioning concentrated in a band—compare to spot and your strike idea
Sparse / pale rows	Little activity at that expiry
Score spike at OTM strikes	Unusual attention at cheaper strikes—worth a closer look, not automatic entry

Use with GEX and Weight Distribution on the same report for structure context.
