UNFI Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is UNFI a good options trade today?+
United Natural Foods (UNFI) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 60/100, ranking it top 40%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a watchlist setup, so the algorithm is positioned cautious (smaller size or wait for confirmation). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is UNFI's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
UNFI's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 57%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past UNFI trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for UNFI?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the UNFI setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh UNFI's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If UNFI drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for UNFI?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to UNFI: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is UNFI outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. UNFI currently scores 60.
How does UNFI compare to other Consumer Staples setups?+
UNFI's sector rank and percentile against other Consumer Staples tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Consumer Staples Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
