[]Filter results to calls only, puts only, or both.
Unusual-activity mode only. Only return contracts where today's volume is at least this multiple of open interest. Higher = stronger unusual signal. Barchart's own filter starts at 1.24. Default 1.5 returns cleaner signals.
Unusual-activity and options-chain modes. Only return contracts where total premium (lastPrice × volume × 100) is at least this value. Filters out low-dollar noise. Default $10,000.
Options-chain mode only. Only return contracts where today's volume is at least this value. Filters out zero-volume strikes with no trading activity. Default 1 returns only contracts traded today. Set to 0 to include all strikes including untouched ones.
Filter options chain to a specific expiry. Format: YYYY-MM-DD. Leave blank to return all expiries.
Maximum records returned across all asset types. Default 1,000 covers all meaningful unusual activity — the tail beyond this is very low Vol/OI ratio noise. Raise to 5,000 if you need the full long tail. Results are ordered by Vol/OI ratio descending, so a lower maxResults gives you the strongest signals only.
