Hi Friends

Please post here the links to any scanners for the Options Markets, that you are aware of. Both types - Indian Markets Based, as well as International Option Market Scanners.

Hopefully this list would be helpful for all option traders, as we will come to know about various kind of scanning tools that are available out there.

I would begin by posting 1 scanner of both types -

For US market different tools around. Good option brokers also offer specific scanning tools with different parameters, but not all. So best ist to check out a few brokers and then make up our mind. If we feel the broker is ok, but not offers all we like to see, then simple a mix is done by using such a scanning tool from an other company to have the infos we want to see and by using the brokers platform, which in such a case even a simple browser platform for retail traders can be. The whole thing is also a question of how much money we want to spend on such tools, as in the US such tools are not free when used on a regular and serious basis.

Following some lists with names and links from different brokers in the US:

Thank you so much for the links Somatung.

@lemondew, yes those links have got a few other software solutions as well, besides the option scanner tools from those companies, because most often such scanners are part of larger software and not offered alone. For US markets, there seems to be a lot of such solutions, but very few vendors for the Indian Markets yet.

One more tool for Indian Markets is from - http://greeksoft.co.in/
But this does not seem to be designed for the retail traders, instead for big traders only.

Thanks and Regards

Good for you I have excel sheets of some stocks for last 6 months with premiums so that I know how they are priced now. And then I have some data which compares to the actual delta moves. :rofl::rofl:

All this is so easy in think or swim they have IV percentile. delta etc, probability of touch /close in the option chain itself. Anyway some data maintenance work and calculations will make it work.
