Options Screener
Last updated 2026-09-24
A table with one row for every stock in RingMaster's nightly options capture. Think of it as a directory, not a leaderboard. It is the workhorse of the options suite, the way Market Scan is the workhorse of the signals side. See Reading The Options Suite for how to read it.
At a glance
- Spot. The share price at the moment the numbers were written down.
- ATM IV. How much movement option prices are charging for, given as a yearly percentage. At the money means the strike nearest the share price. A bigger number means more movement is being charged for. It says nothing about which way.
- IV vs own history. Where tonight's ATM IV sits against this name's own weekly record, as a percent. 92% means tonight is higher than 92 percent of those weekly readings. Blank when the name has under a year of history.
- Pricing. The desk's word for where tonight's options sit against this name's own weekly history. Rich, middle or cheap, with the percentile beside it, such as "rich, 92%". Added 2026-09-16 with the publisher posture.
- Priced move. How far option prices are pricing the share to move. It is shown as a down number and an up number.
- Put/Call. How many open put contracts there are for each open call contract.
- Cost to trade. What crossing the market costs at the money. The bid to ask gap as a share of the option's own price. The desk's word for it: tight, fair or wide, such as "23%, fair". Added 2026-09-16.
- Where the numbers come from. They come from the public options market. We write it all down once each evening, and that nightly record is the capture this table shows. They are not live quotes. After a weekend or a market holiday the newest capture can be a few days old, and its date is in the footer.
- The order. Rows start in A to Z order by ticker. We never put a favourite name at the top for you.
- Sorting. Click any column heading to sort by that column.
- Linking. Click a row and every single-name pane switches to that ticker.
- What it is not. It scores nothing, ranks nothing, and suggests nothing to trade. Key difference: A to Z order = a directory with no opinion. Any ranked view on screen = a sort you clicked yourself.
What it shows
The words in these headings, such as implied volatility, open interest, strike and expiry, are explained in Reading The Options Suite. Eight columns ship by default; the two words columns, Pricing and Cost to trade, arrived 2026-09-16 with the publisher posture.
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name | The ticker. |
| Spot | The share price at the time of the capture. |
| ATM IV | At the money implied volatility, quoted as a yearly rate. At the money means the strike nearest today's share price. |
| IV vs own history | The share of this name's own weekly implied volatility readings, since its first record, that sit below tonight's reading. 92% means tonight is higher than 92 percent of them. Blank rather than zero when the name has under a year of history. |
| Pricing | The desk's word for where tonight's options sit against this name's own weekly history. Rich, middle or cheap, with the percentile it was decided from, such as "rich, 92%". The word is decided once on the server, so this pane, the Options Snapshot and the Read-out never disagree. |
| Priced move | How far option prices are pricing the share to move over the near month. It is given as two numbers, a down leg then an up leg. Each leg is read at the volatility quoted on its own side, so the two are never blended into one number. Elsewhere in the suite it is called the priced range. |
| Put/Call | Open put contracts per open call contract. |
| Cost to trade | What crossing the market costs at the money. The bid to ask gap as a share of the option's own price, with the desk's word for it: tight, fair or wide, such as "23%, fair". The word ranks the name against the other covered names that same night. |
Nine more sit behind the column picker, which is the gear icon.
- Total OI. Open contracts across the captured expiries.
- Net DWOI. Delta weighted open interest, calls minus puts. A negative number means more put exposure than call exposure. The sign is only a way of showing which side is bigger. It does not say which way the share price goes.
- Term slope. The at the money IV at the furthest captured expiry minus the at the money IV at the nearest one.
- 90/110 skew. The IV about 10% below the share price minus the IV nearest that price. The 90 and 110 in the name are the two wings, at 90% and 110% of the share price. The figure here is the lower wing against the middle.
- Top call strike. The strike carrying the most open call contracts.
- Top put strike. The strike carrying the most open put contracts.
- Net gamma. The dollar gamma the open contracts carry for a one percent move in the share price, calls minus puts. Gamma is how fast an option's sensitivity to the share price changes as the share price moves. Calls minus puts is only a way of showing which side is bigger. It does not say who holds those contracts, which way the share price goes, or what happens near any strike.
- Total gamma. The same figure with both sides added instead of subtracted. It is how much gamma is open at all, so it tracks the size of the name.
- Call gamma %. The percentage of that total that sits in calls. It does not scale with the size of the name, so a small name and a large one can be compared directly.
- Net gamma sign change. The strike near which call gamma minus put gamma changes sign, when exactly one such strike qualifies. The nightly builder works it out over the thirty strikes nearest the share price, across every captured expiry. The cell is blank when no strike qualifies or several do. It is a fact about open contracts, not a level the share price respects.
- Most net call gamma. The strike where open call gamma most exceeds open put gamma.
- Most net put gamma. The strike where open put gamma most exceeds open call gamma. A dash in any of the gamma columns means the board for that trading day did not carry the figure. It never means zero. A blank sign change cell means no single strike qualified.
Using it
- Filter. Type into the filter box and the list narrows to the tickers that contain what you typed.
- Sort. Click a column heading. The first click picks the useful direction, and a second click flips it.
- Link. Click a row to send that ticker to every single-name pane, on the options side and the signals side.
- Footer. It states three things:
- Rows shown. How many rows the filter left.
- Names covered. How many names the capture covers.
- Capture date. The day the numbers were written down.
Reading it well
- Finding a name. Start here when you want to look one up. Every covered name has a row, so it is a directory rather than a shortlist.
- Priced move. It keeps its two legs apart. A name pricing a bigger move down than up shows that in the two numbers, exactly as the market quotes them.
- Linking. This table is the way into the deeper options screens. Linking a name here is what makes Gamma Map, Volatility Surface, Strike Table and the rest draw for it.
Common misreadings. - Row order. A to Z order carries no opinion. The desk computes no score of its own here, and ships no saved filters. - Put/Call describes positioning, not a direction. A high ratio says more puts are open than calls. It says nothing about why, or about what happens next.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the list in A to Z order instead of showing the busiest stocks first? If we picked a default order, we would be choosing which stocks you see first. A to Z by ticker means we do not choose. Any ranked view on screen is a sort you clicked. Does the top row of a column I sorted mean I should look at that stock first? No. That row holds the highest or lowest value in the column you chose. You made that order, and the desk reads nothing into it. What does "Priced move" mean? How far option prices are pricing that name to move over the near month. It is stated as two numbers, a down leg and an up leg. Each leg is read at the volatility quoted on its own side. It restates the quotes from the most recent capture, and it is not a forecast. What extra columns can I add? Click the gear icon to open the column picker. It offers Total OI, Net DWOI, Term slope, 90/110 skew, Top call strike and Top put strike. It also offers Net gamma, Total gamma, Call gamma %, Net gamma sign change, Most net call gamma and Most net put gamma. How fresh are these numbers? They come from the most recent nightly capture, which is one snapshot per trading day. Nothing here is intraday. The capture date is printed in the footer. Does this pane pick which stocks to trade options on? No. It is a reference table of observed market data. Nothing in this pane suggests a trade, names a strategy, or ranks names by how attractive they are. The Ask names which option strategy families fit one name's own readings, in Options strategy families. Why does linking a row here also change what I see on other panes? Clicking a row sets the desk's linked symbol. Every single-name pane reads that symbol, in both the options suite and the signals suite. So the panes that show one name at a time follow the name you clicked.
