Wanted to thank 15min and mahk for the UNP play back on 12/27. I tagged along on that trade, currently up 50%.
There might just be something to this idea of following the money. :)

@lavapit315 I'm not familiar with TOS so I'm sorry I can't help you there. You can confirm volume on Yahoo.
@c1916 Congrats! UNP still look like a beast!

Not from Chameleon but from my IB "Hot by option volume" scan:
TGP Feb 17.5 puts. 2 blocks of 6000 contracts bought for $0.20, 1 at 9:50 hrs and 1 at 15:25 hrs with the stock at 20.65. Assuming this was the same trader this is "only" a $ 240.000 investment, yet noteworthy for a play that needs the stock to drop over 15% in 5 weeks to reach breakeven.
c1916, well done! But for the stocks mentioned overall it has been a mixed bag.
TWX has done nothing so far
MAR up 1.34%
DDD and BABA went nearly 8 % and 5% in the opposite direction.

This was the first day this year my portfolio was faded mercilessly. Thankfully, I jumped on $GILD 2/16/18 77.50 Call when there was a nice flow at 75 & 77.50 when stock price was mid 76s. I see now there's flow at 80 too. It finally broke out after going sideways for two months. I'm currently up 57% so here's hoping it goes to $80.
Sold my RIG 2/18 11 Calls for 229% gain. On the other hand, FCX, MOMO, MU, NRG went down hard so I'm at -30% on these trades. The latter expires next week so unless it recovers tomorrow, I'll sell it for a loss. The others have Feb & Mar exp.
Big Option Trade of the Day - KODK
Kodak has been a dead stock for years now, just like its antiquated film technology. It got punished when it was last man in adopting digital. CNBC then came out with a story that Kodak is joining the Crypto craze by having its own KodakCoin. Just like that options volume went from boring for years to 195% its 90-day avg volume.
Massive Calls volume seen at the 1/19 7.5 (buying started at .30) & 10 (.40) strikes, 2/16 7.5 (.40) & 4/20 12.5 (.30). Stock was in the low 3s when the CNBC story came out. I'm thinking the pump & dump should last another day or two. I might do a day trade tomorrow if it's above its 15 or 30 min range. This will undoubtedly move & faded fast so stay away if you have a weak heart!

Rich,
Looks like they sold their MANH Jan 55 Calls, but Feb 55 OI still showing a lot of volume so it hasn't been sold yet. It needs to bounce back quick because it's down now to basically break even of purchase $1.55. Its high was $2.40 on 1/5.
