Positions by Expiration

The Positions by Expiration view displays a bar chart showing the total total options position size (calls + puts) aggregated by expiration date. This view helps you understand the term structure of positioning — where position concentration falls across near-term and longer-dated expirations.

Positions by Expiration — bar chart showing aggregate positions across expiration dates

What This View Shows

Each bar represents the aggregate total options position (in contracts) for all strikes within a given expiration date. Green bars indicate positive options positions and red bars indicate net negative options positions. The horizontal axis shows expiration dates in chronological order.

This view helps answer questions like: Which expirations have the largest positions? Is positioning concentrated in near-term or longer-dated expirations? Are there unusually large positions in specific monthly or quarterly expirations?
