Abstract: This research presents a novel approach to predicting option movements by analyzing residual transactions, which are trades that deviate from standard hedging activities. Unlike traditional methods that primarily focus on open interest and trading volume, this study argues that residuals can reveal nuanced insights into institutional sentiment and strategic positioning. By examining these deviations, the model identifies early indicators of market trends, providing a refined framework for forecasting option prices. The proposed model integrates classical machine learning and regression techniques to analyze patterns in high frequency trading data, capturing complex, non linear relationships. This predictive framework allows traders to anticipate shifts in option values, enhancing strategies for better market timing, risk management, and portfolio optimization. The model's adaptability, driven by real time data processing, makes it particularly effective in fast paced trading environments, where early detection of institutional behavior is crucial for gaining a competitive edge. Overall, this research contributes to the field of options trading by offering a strategic tool that detects early market signals, optimizing trading decisions based on predictive insights derived from residual trading patterns. This approach bridges the gap between conventional metrics and the subtle behaviors of institutional players, marking a significant advancement in options market analysis.
