Why it matters

What this buys you
on the desk.

How traders read Options Screener when they are looking for an edge worth taking.

Surface Trade Ideas Systematically

Instead of manually checking tickers, the screener ranks the entire market by your chosen signal. High IV Rank + positive VRP = the best premium selling candidates, delivered in seconds.

Find Vol Pairs for Relative Value

The Vol Pairs screen matches rich tickers against cheap ones — the starting point for any relative value vol trade.

Avoid Earnings Surprises

Filter out tickers reporting within N days to avoid holding through binary events. Or use the Earnings screen to find the best straddle candidates.

Scan for Mean Reversion

The Mean Reversion screen finds tickers with IV at historical extremes — candidates for selling when too high, buying when too low.
