Options Tools and Research
This tool allows you to find and select potential trades that correspond to your opinion of an underlying security or an index. Additional trade related criteria are used to narrow the search such as change in volatility, profit %, amount invested, max gain or loss, assigned rate of return and more. Move quickly from discovery to order entry by selecting trade links from within the results.
View detailed Option Chains with real time quotes. Easily locate in and out of the money options. See quote details and open interest at a glance. Search for options on stocks, indices, and ETFs.
Specify exact options screening criteria such as implied volatility or a specific static or assigned rate of return. Because options traders need to have an opinion about the underlying security before they select an options strategy, many of the same criteria you would use to find stock trading candidates are also available in this tool.
While the Customizable Screeners have far more robust functionality, the Pre-Defined Screeners are simpler to use. Screen using over 10 different predefined strategies or modify our predefined screens to fit your needs.
