Where to get realtime options volume data points?

http://www.marketwatch.com/optionscenter/screener?screen=23&displaynum=100 http://www.marketwatch.com/optionscenter/screener?screen=2&displaynum=100

The problem with tape reading is:

  • you can't tell if someone bought or sold the option (unless it was executed at the bid or ask)

  • you can't tell if the trader owns the stock or is short (buying a huge amount of puts could actually be bullish if it's just a hedge and they're long)

  • you can't tell if it's opening or closing a position (a large buying of puts could be someone closing previously shorted puts)

Is real time data required for options trading?
For real trading, yes. Short dated options on volatile stocks can change very quickly and the leverage magnifies the impact of those real-time changes. Delayed data is fine for learning while paper trading. More on reddit.com
