The OptionsPlay Explorer is an integrated widget designed to bring powerful options strategies and income-generating ideas directly into the StockCharts platform. Available across SharpCharts, StockChartsACP, and while viewing options chains in Options Summary or Options View, the OptionsPlay Explorer provides traders with a seamless way to analyze technical charts while instantly accessing optimal options strategies based on their market view.
Whether you’re looking for directional trades or income-generating strategies, the OptionsPlay Explorer helps simplify decision-making by offering clear, actionable insights and visual tools that make complex strategies easy to understand and execute.
The OptionsPlay Explorer integrates seamlessly with StockCharts to offer these core functionalities:
Live Options Strategies: OptionsPlay generates three optimal strategies for Bullish, Bearish, or High-Implied Volatility (for premium sellers) for any underlying optionable stock. The strategies are dynamically calculated based on current price data, volatility, and market conditions.
P&L Simulator: This tool allows users to simulate different market conditions by adjusting the target price, date, and implied volatility. The P&L Simulator provides a forecast of hypothetical profits or losses for each strategy.
Visual Trade Metrics: Each strategy is presented with a clear Profit & Loss (P&L) graph, allowing you to visually assess risk and reward. Detailed trade metrics like max reward, max risk, probability of profit (POP), and breakeven are provided for each strategy.
Customizable Strategies: Users can modify suggested strategies by adjusting trade parameters such as strike price, expiration date, call, put, buy, sell or the number of contracts. Additionally, the widget helps calculate how many contracts can be traded based on the user’s defined risk tolerance.
Plain English Descriptions: To make options trading more accessible, each strategy is explained in plain English, detailing when it will profit, how much is at risk, and the potential upside.
