What is the warrant score

Warrant scoring is based on the comprehensive evaluation of the degree of out-of-the-money, duration, bid-ask spread, and out-of-stock volume. The score ranges from 0-12 points.

Higher scores may be derivatives that are more suitable for continuous observation under the balance of return and risk.

This scoring tool does not count factors such as trading volume, premium, implied volatility, etc. Investors should pay special attention when referring to the data. The specific criteria for scoring are as follows.
