How the list is ordered
The score
Two numbers, nothing else. Conviction is what you believe. Profitability is what the lot has returned on premium. Names without a lot sit at a neutral profit so conviction does the ranking until you book one.

Profit maps −100% to +100% ROI onto the same 0–1 scale as conviction. A lot that doubled maxes the profit axis; a total loss zeros it.

Rules of the desk
- Only names with a real options book. Illiquid lottery tickets stay off the desk.
- Premium is per share. One contract is one hundred shares of exposure.
- Short-dated lots bleed. A high conviction name with two days left still ranks on profit.
- Open premium in the book is $178. Size so one loser cannot rewrite the list.
