The problem
A useful options screen should narrow the market without pretending to make the decision
Raw option chains are exhaustive, while generic stock screeners miss the contract-level details and strategy context options traders need.
Discovery turns a broad universe into inspectable candidates. You still review the underlying, contract, risk, liquidity, and fit before acting.
Workflow
How it works
- 1
Choose a strategy scan
Start from an available options strategy view and define the market conditions you want to inspect.
- 2
Apply practical filters
Narrow candidates by supported price, expiration, liquidity, return, and contract criteria.
- 3
Save the screen
Premium members can save, rename, duplicate, update, and rerun up to 50 custom Discovery screens.
- 4
Test portfolio fit
Take a candidate into Scenario Lab to see how the hypothetical trade changes the actual portfolio you selected.
What it can do
- Options strategy scans across more than 2,500 US stocks
- Contract, expiration, liquidity, and return filters where supported
- Up to 50 saved custom screens for Premium members
- Rename, duplicate, update, delete, and compare saved screen runs
- Optional alerts for supported saved-screen workflows
Important limits
- Discovery results are candidates, not trade recommendations or investment advice.
- Quote, chain, earnings, and volatility fields can be delayed, unavailable, or incomplete for some symbols.
- Review the live contract and broker order details before placing any trade yourself.
