Options Screener for Option Writers and Traders
With the ezzy Options Screener, you can find suitable US options for your strategy faster. Filter by premium, yield, duration, open interest, exercise probability, and other criteria without having to click through confusing options chains.
Why an Options Screener is So Important
Anyone looking to trade options quickly faces a problem: there are thousands of stocks, different durations, many strikes, and constantly changing premiums. Without a clear filtering system, searching for suitable setups takes a lot of time and often leads to missed opportunities or misjudged risks.
A good options screener helps you systematically search the market. Instead of manually opening individual options chains, you can filter by the criteria that really matter for your strategy. This way, you can quickly identify which underlying assets, strikes, and durations deserve a closer look.
What the ezzy Options Screener Does
The ezzy Options Screener was developed for investors and traders who do not want to trade options blindly but need clear data for their decisions. You can filter stocks and options by important metrics, allowing you to find suitable setups for option writing strategies faster.
With ezzy you combine stock analysis and options data in one tool. This is particularly important because an attractive options premium alone does not make a good setup. It is also crucial whether the underlying asset fits your strategy, your risk, and your portfolio.
Important Filters in the Options Screener
With the ezzy Screener, you can filter options by criteria that are relevant in practice:
This allows you to specifically search for options with attractive premiums, avoid illiquid contracts, or exclude stocks that have upcoming quarterly reports.
For which strategies is the Screener suitable?
The ezzy Options Screener is particularly suitable for strategies where selection and comparison are crucial.
Finding Short Puts
Short Puts are often used to collect premiums or to acquire stocks at a desired price. With ezzy, you can find suitable underlying assets and strikes faster and compare them based on premium, yield, duration, and risk.
Finding Covered Calls
If you already have stocks in your portfolio, you can earn additional premiums with Covered Calls. The Screener helps you check suitable calls on existing positions and compare different durations or strikes.
Checking Bull Put and Bear Call Spreads
Bull Put Spreads and Bear Call Spreads can be interesting if you want to limit the risk compared to an uncovered Short Put or Short Call. With ezzy, you can quickly narrow down suitable combinations and view the key metrics in a structured manner.
Comparing Options
Many options traders waste time because they do not compare setups cleanly. ezzy helps you evaluate multiple options based on return, distance to the current price, remaining duration, and other criteria.
Why ezzy is more than just an options filter
A pure options filter shows you numbers. ezzy goes a step further and connects options data with features related to stock and market information. This allows you to make better preliminary decisions before examining individual trades more closely.
Depending on the package you choose, ezzy supports you with stock filters, options data, market overviews, heatmaps, express mode, and other tools for your trading routine.
Typical Workflow with ezzy
A possible workflow looks like this:
- Select a strategy, such as Short Put or Covered Call.
- Narrow down the market or stock universe.
- Set filters for duration, premium, return, and risk.
- Exclude unsuitable underlying assets, for example, due to earnings or insufficient liquidity.
- Compare interesting setups.
- Examine favorites more closely and only then make a trading decision.
ezzy does not make decisions for you, but it significantly reduces the search effort. This way, you have more time for analysis, risk management, and execution.
Who is the ezzy options screener suitable for?
The screener is suitable for investors and traders who want to search for and compare options in a structured manner. It is particularly useful for people who regularly use options selling strategies, complement a stock portfolio with covered calls, or look for cash flow-oriented options ideas.
Beginners also benefit from not jumping randomly through options chains but learning early to filter based on clear criteria. However, it remains important: options are complex financial instruments and require knowledge, discipline, and risk management.
