December Options Trades
Below is a list of some unusual options activity by day for December (starting on December 12th). The data is the beginning of my nightly research for my own personal trading and acts as a rough draft for my weekly unusual options activity posts for SeeItMarket.com.

You can follow me on Twitter and Stocktwits for more investing research.
