Question 1

How does the options screener work?

Accepted Answer

The options screener lets you filter and search 5,900+ stocks by IV rank, gamma levels, open interest, liquidity, and strategy fit. Each stock is scored using a 5-pillar system (Value, Sentiment, Activity, Liquidity, Timing) and updated daily pre-market. You can sort by any pillar, filter by strategy type, and view detailed analysis for any ticker.

Question 2

What data does the options screener include?

Accepted Answer

The screener includes IV rank, IV percentile, put/call ratios, open interest skew, volume-to-OI ratios, bid-ask spread analysis, gamma levels, put wall and call wall identification, earnings dates, and strategy recommendations. Each stock shows a composite Options Opportunity Score plus individual pillar scores.

Question 3

How do I find high IV rank stocks for selling options?

Accepted Answer

Use the Value pillar filter to sort stocks by IV rank. Stocks with IV rank above 50 have above-average implied volatility relative to their yearly range, making them candidates for premium selling strategies like covered calls, cash-secured puts, or iron condors. The screener highlights stocks where IV rank exceeds 70 as potentially overpriced options.

Question 4

How do I find stocks with unusual options activity?

Accepted Answer

Sort by the Activity pillar to find stocks with volume surges, high volume-to-open interest ratios, or significant flow imbalances. High Activity scores indicate unusual positioning that may signal informed traders taking positions ahead of potential moves. The screener flags stocks where options volume significantly exceeds normal levels.

Question 5

What do the put wall and call wall levels mean?

Accepted Answer

Put walls are strike prices with concentrated put open interest that create natural support levels. Call walls are strikes with high call open interest that act as resistance. Market maker hedging activity around these levels tends to create price floors (put walls) and ceilings (call walls). The screener identifies these gamma levels to help you choose strategic entry points and strikes.

Question 6

How do I filter for wheel strategy candidates?

Accepted Answer

Use the strategy preset filter for 'Wheel Strategy' or filter for: high Value score (elevated IV for better premiums), good Liquidity score (tight bid-ask spreads), supportive gamma levels (put walls below current price), and stocks you'd be comfortable owning if assigned. The screener's wheel-optimized view shows premium yield, assignment risk, and support levels.

Question 7

What is the Liquidity pillar score?

Accepted Answer

The Liquidity pillar measures how efficiently you can trade options on a stock. It analyzes bid-ask spreads across the options chain, total open interest depth, and volume consistency. High Liquidity scores (70+) indicate tight spreads and deep markets where you can enter and exit positions without significant slippage. Low scores warn of wide spreads that eat into profits.

Question 8

How do I use the Timing pillar for earnings trades?

Accepted Answer

The Timing pillar shows earnings dates and classifies the current period as Pre-Earnings, Earnings Week, or Post-Earnings. Before earnings, IV typically rises (IV expansion), making it favorable for premium sellers. After earnings, IV often crashes (IV crush), punishing long options holders. Use Timing scores to identify optimal entry windows based on the earnings calendar and expected volatility events.
