options-ner

Tweets about stock options (trade alerts, unusual options flow, commentary) with the option-contract details marked as character spans: ticker, strike, option type, expiry, premium and price. This is the training and evaluation data for the options-recognizer models; code and pipeline are in StephanAkkerman/options-recognizer-model.

Splits

split	tweets	entities
train	1287	15346
test	227	2526

test is the held-out set every model was benchmarked on and is never trained on. Use it to compare against the published models.

Fields

field	description
`id`	Task id
`text`	Tweet text, cleaned (links and quote headers removed)
`entities`	`start` / `end` character offsets into `text` (end exclusive) and a `label`

from datasets import load_dataset

for s, e, label in zip(row["entities"]["start"], row["entities"]["end"], row["entities"]["label"]):
    print(label, row["text"][s:e])

Labels

label	entities	definition
`ticker`	4316	The stock or ETF symbol an option contract is written on, usually 1-5 letters and often preceded by a dollar sign (e.g., $AAPL, SPY, $T). MUST NOT be a company name, an @handle, or slang (YOLO, NFA, OTM, ITM).
`strike`	2830	The strike price of an option contract, e.g. 350, 162.5, or $1300 in '$1300 calls'. MUST NOT be the stock's current price, a premium or per-contract price, a date, or a percentage.
`option_type`	3303	Whether the contract is a call or a put, in any written form: C, P, call, calls, put, puts, c, p. Only the call/put word itself, not words like buyer or seller.
`expiry`	2719	The expiration date of an option contract: 10/16, 11/06/2026, 6/17/27, November 20, 2026, December, or relative like '2 days'. MUST NOT be the date a report was posted (e.g. the 10/2 in '10/2 Notable Flow').
`premium`	2534	The total dollar size of the trade, e.g. $1.2M, $993K, 23 million. MUST NOT be a strike, the per-contract price, or the stock price.
`price`	2170	The per-contract price or average fill, e.g. .15 in '@ .15' or 4.37 in '4.37avg'. Only the number. MUST NOT be a strike, premium, or the underlying's stock price.

How it was made

Tweets were scraped from X/Twitter, cleaned, pre-labeled with an LLM and then reviewed and corrected by hand in Label Studio. Annotations whose label is unknown or whose span falls outside the text were dropped.

Limitations

English, informal, tweet-length text from options-focused accounts, so alert formats from specific accounts may be over-represented. The tweets are public posts, but the text remains the work of its authors; author handles are not included. Not financial advice.
