OPTIONS DATA AND FEATURES |
eSignal has the data and tools options traders need
to make their best trades:
Options Montage Window
| |
| Download
a snapshot options chain and then turn these options into dynamic,
real-time updates without using up your symbol count viewable
at one time. |
 Just
right click on a symbol from a Quote, Portfolio or Detail window
and select Autolist to open an Options Montage window for that symbol.
You can add complete options analytics,
including implied volatility, intrinsic value and the Greeks, such
as gamma, Rho, theta and vega and recalculate them by clicking the
Recalculate Options Analytics toolbar.
You can refresh the data while in static
mode or turn on the dynamic updates to see all activity for each
option symbol.
(The Options Montage window is not available
with eSignal Premier.)
Daily Options History
Plus, our daily history on options includes
the open / high / low / close, daily history for individual strikes.
Other
Options-Focused Features
| |
| Customize your settings for easier viewing of in-, near- and out-of-the-money, as well as put / call pairs.
|
- Option Chain Filters -- Allows users to set background colors for strikes based on the underlying equity's current last price with calls immediately below and puts immediately above current price coded for in-the-money, the next set above and below current price coded for near-the-money and the remaining strikes coded for "out-of-the-money"; also allows customization of number of strikes shown for each designation
- Single-Sided Setting -- Brings up the last quote update on the opposite side of a single-sided quote in a Time and Sales window so as to keep the quote always displayed as a buy / sell pair no matter how disparate the amount of activity on both sides of the pair
- Underlying Symbol Field -- A column heading
choice in the Quote window field list that, when added, displays
the underlying equities for options you are looking at in a Quote,
Summary or Detail window
- Option Description for Individual Strikes --
Shows the underlying equity followed by the strike information
(including whether it's a Call or Put) under the Name of Instrument
column
- Option Roots -- In an options chain, entering
a root (for example, MSQ) gets the data for the underlying equity
to appear in the Level I area; entering a root into a Detail window
causes the symbol to change to the underlying equity and brings
in the data for the equity
- Option Expiration -- A field choice for all
window types that support option symbols
- Non-Standard Options Information -- Appearing
in a column called "Option Type," this field can be
added to Summary, Quote, Detail and Options Chain windows; the
column will display this data for equities and their individual
options; individual options or an options chain will list information
about the Non-Standard status (for example, lot size followed
by text explanation, as applicable) under the "Description"
column. The "Description" column information is visible
for individual options rather than underlying equities because
multiple roots often have different descriptions.
