An option screener is a tool that evaluates options based on criteria and generates a list of potential trading ideas. Most people who trade options are technical traders. It essentially means they look for patterns in charts. Also they use statistical correlations and deviations and give them greek names like alpha beta theta gamma. Technical analysis can be very useful, but very few professional money managers would dare use it by itself. It s counterpart, fundamental analysis , similarly uses some math to generate ratios, but the inputs and outputs are much more tangible e.g. income, revenue, assets . Overview Option finance Options , particularly exchange traded options, are highly volatile securities whose market prices can change rapidly. In addition, the number of options in a market can be large. For instance, as of October 2006, there are over 185,000 individual equity option contracts, written on nearly 3,000 underlying stocks, that are listed on the various U.S. options exchanges. Each contract is typically listed on multiple exchanges, resulting in nearly 1,000,000 separate option prices that all change in real time. Screening criterion Being able to isolate option plays that appeal to a specific trader is a vital component of a useful option screener. To do this, the option screener needs to allow the trader to define filters that narrow down the ideal options based upon what the trader deems important. Typical filters include, but are not limited to expiration options option expiration Volatility finance historic volatility implied volatility open interest option pricing option price pe ratio p e ratio put call ratio share price stock exchange strike price Intrinsic value finance intrinsic value premium volume Derivatives market Category Options Category Derivatives finance econ stub ... more details
