    I was just going through some big trades on indexes for open interest/ volume and this one popped up and it happened right around when SPY bottomed.

    BUY +35,065 SPY 100 (Weeklys) 4 MAR 22 452 CALL @1.11 LMT 

    This trade was executed at 13:18:58

    Does this big transaction of almot 4 million dollars mean anything. I looked up at other trades prior to that and lot of activity went for same calls from 1315-1318pm. By end of the day 452c total volume of 64k(open interest was less than 4k)

    meant to add 1 SPY

    meant to add 1 SPY for the ES as well - was planning to use May 20th 421. Normally I do 2 months out, Apr 14th isn't 2 months May 20th was the next possible. I did notice at the time that the spreads were much tigher on the May contracts 10 - 15 cents only. Two of the same says are going long and weekend so I don't see a lot of need to be hyper aggressive

    anyway we'll see what Grandpa says

    Thanks Matt, glad to get
