OptionsPlay is designed to show investors of all experience levels, even those that don’t intend to use options, new ways to find opportunities on either bullish or bearish markets by integrating technical indicators into their research analysis, all while providing quick and easy starting points for trading and income strategies.

Whether you’re a stock, ETF or options investor, our proprietary analysis of trends and relative strength is merged with traditional technical analysis scans to provide actionable ideas each morning.  You can also create watchlists to have a quick view of the stocks or ETFs that interest you.

Options Strategies

For options investors, the trading and income panel provides an interactive, easy to use interface. Investors can effortlessly compare different options strategies while adjusting for price targets, implied volatility, and expiry dates. Our proprietary options scoring metric, the OptionsPlay Score, allows investors to compare any 3 strategies side by side and gauge risk/reward metrics.

Lastly, the strategy checklist ensures investors are aware of the possible risks and barriers to each trade.

Income section

Investors looking to generate additional income by writing covered calls on their existing securities, or selling cash-secured puts to buy shares at a lower price or to pocket the income, will certainly appreciate the income section.  Just like the trading section, it provides a starting point and will allow them to unlock investment opportunities by modifying their expiration and strike prices, and easily determine their potential payoff and risk.
