Viewing Options Data For Stocks And ETFs
So, you’re viewing your ChartLists regularly, and you get an alert notification. Before taking action, you must analyze the chart to identify an ideal entry point.
In the New SharpCharts Workbench, you can view the option chain of a stock or ETF that has options available. Click Options under Tools & Resources in the menu on the left.
The option chain will reveal which strike prices options activity is more active and whether there’s more call or put activity. This can be helpful, especially before earnings, because it gives you an idea of what price moves traders anticipate.
To view the option chain, click Options, and if the stock or ETF of the chart you’re analyzing has options available, the option chain will display below the chart. The option chain below shows strikes between 67 and 85 for options expiring on February 9, 2024.
The Show All Columns is checked, but unchecking the box will show fewer columns. You can view option greeks, volatility, volume, open interest, and price data.
