With the StockCharts OptionsPlay add-on, subscribers have access to six OptionsPlay ChartLists, updated daily with technical trade ideas from OptionsPlay based on popular technical setups. The OptionsPlay Strategy Center allows subscribers to quickly sift through these trading ideas to find the ones that most closely align with their specific goals and risk profile. The OptionsPlay Explorer, viewable alongside technical charts and options chains in StockCharts' core tools, allows users to vet multiple options strategies for a specific symbol.
Once you enable the OptionsPlay Add-On within StockCharts, you will automatically receive six read-only OptionsPlay ChartLists pre-loaded with the latest trade ideas. These ChartLists will include each of the six types of trade ideas generated daily for the OptionsPlay Strategy Center, allowing you to:
Review Charts for Trade Ideas: Each idea in the ChartLists is linked to a corresponding chart, giving users the ability to review the technical setups of the suggested trades visually.
Stay Up-to-Date Automatically: The ChartLists are updated every day with the most recent trade ideas. Users do not need to manually refresh or recreate the lists, ensuring they always have access to the latest strategies and insights.
Enjoy Seamless Navigation Between Chart and Strategy: With the ChartLists, users can easily switch between viewing the chart of a specific trade idea and analyzing the corresponding options strategy in the Strategy Center.
This feature offers an additional layer of convenience by streamlining the charting and strategy analysis process, all within the StockCharts platform.
The OptionsPlay Strategy Center within StockCharts offers a powerful tool for users to access technical trade ideas tailored to their individual trading preferences. By leveraging personalized data, the Strategy Center ranks trade ideas based on optimal options strategies, empowering traders to make informed decisions that align with their specific goals and risk profile.
Daily Trade Ideas Across Six Scans: The Strategy Center supplies daily trade ideas across six distinct technical analysis scans, offering traders a variety of bullish and bearish setups based on trend-following, counter-trend, and performance.
Nine Available Options Strategies: Users can choose from nine different options strategies, including Covered Calls, Short Puts, Long Calls, Bull and Bear Spreads, and Iron Condors. These strategies are designed to cater to both income-focused and directional traders.
Customizable Parameters: The Strategy Center allows users to customize their options strategies based on their desired Days to Expiration (DTE) and risk tolerance (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive). This customization ensures that the strategies and trade ideas are tailored to individual preferences.
Ranked Trade Ideas: After selecting preferences, users receive ranked trade ideas, showing which options strategies are optimal for execution based on real-time market conditions. These rankings help users focus on the most actionable and relevant trade ideas, simplifying the decision-making process.
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.
