New Options Screeners and Tools Added to Barchart!

Barchart has recently made a number of improvements to our Options section. We have added new screeners and expanded the screeners to include a number new fields based on feedback from our users. Below are some highlights of the recent additions that can help you gain an edge with your options trading.

All of these screeners start by applying a pre-set group of filters that help narrow down the field of candidates for your consideration. Barchart Premier Members can then customize the filters, letting you focus on the options with most promise.

New Butterfly Strategy Screeners

We've added new Butterfly strategies: a butterfly consists of the sale (purchase) of two options combined with the purchase (sale) of one option with a higher strike price and one option with a lower strike price. All options must be of the same type and exercise price. They include:

  • Long and Short Call Butterfly Screeners 
    • The Long Call fly strategy combines a bull call spread with a bear call spread, where the inside strike is sold twice between evenly spaced outside strikes.
    • The Short Call fly strategy combines a bear call spread with a bull call spread, where the inside strike is purchased twice between evenly spaced outside strikes.
  • Long and Short Put Butterfly Screeners 
    • The Long Put fly strategy combines a bear put spread with a bull put spread, where the inside strike is sold twice between evenly spaced outside strikes.
    • The Short Put fly strategy combines a bull put spread with a bear put spread, where the inside strike is purchased twice between evenly spaced outside strikes.
New Condor Strategy Screeners

You will also find new Condor strategies: Iron condors are multiple leg strategies consisting of two vertical spreads where all strikes are equidistant and have the same expiration. They include:

 
New Option Screener Filters

When visiting any of the Options pages - such as Unusual Options Activity, Most Active Options, or Highest Implied Volatility - Barchart Premier members can click the "screen" icon and pull these lists directly into the Options Screener to further add your own filters.

You now can base any of your options screeners on one or more of Barchart's popular stock pages, such as the Top 100 Stocks, Today's Price or Percent Change pages, or the 100% Buy or Sell Signals page. Just look for the "Found On..." filter, and select your desired pages. This lets you base any options screener on the set of underlying assets currently found on those pages! 

Come explore all of these improvements for yourself, and see how Barchart can help you find the best equity puts and calls for trading ideas. 

Options Screeners and other advanced Options Strategies are available with a Barchart Premier Membership. If you've never tried Premier, or previously took a trial and want another look at these new features, we encourage you to take a 30-Day No-Obligation Free Trial.
