What This Options Scanner Checks
This tool applies saved criteria to one page of option snapshots for a chosen ticker. Contract type, expiration and strike bounds narrow the server request. Volume, open interest, implied volatility, daily close and absolute delta are checked in your browser against the returned contracts.
A match only means the available fields meet your thresholds. It does not establish probability of profit, liquidity or a favorable entry price. Review the current bid and ask, contract multiplier, exercise terms and account requirements separately before making a trading decision.
How to Use This Custom Options Filter Tool
- 1
Create a New Filter
Click New Filter, enter one ticker and optionally name the filter. Starting a new filter clears the selection so saving it does not overwrite a previously selected filter.
- 2
Set Your Filter Criteria
Choose contract type, expiration and strike bounds first. Add minimum volume or open interest, IV percentage bounds, daily-close bounds and absolute-delta bounds between zero and one. Leave a threshold blank to skip that check.
- 3
Run the Filter
Click Scan Now to load at most 250 option snapshots. Additional pages are not fetched. Narrow the expiration or strike range when the provider reports more results; sorting changes only the returned subset.
- 4
Review Manual Scan History
The first 50 matching rows in your chosen sort order are added to scan history. The tool keeps at most 500 entries in total. Repeated scans can record the same contract again; these entries are not automated alerts.

Save & Reuse Filters
Click Save Filter to store the named criteria in this browser. Select a saved filter to edit it or scan again. Storage failures are displayed, and saved settings do not synchronize to another device.
Why Use Custom Options Filters?
Reuse Named Criteria
Use a named set of thresholds again without re-entering each bound. Reuse does not imply the same data will remain available or that results are profitable.
Check Snapshot Limitations
A scan uses the snapshot returned at request time. The data may be delayed; the displayed completion time is a local scan timestamp, not evidence of a real-time feed.
Multi-Dimensional Filtering
Combine criteria while distinguishing missing fields from zero. If a contract lacks a field required by an active threshold, it is excluded instead of treated as a zero-valued match.
Capped Match History
Review up to 50 saved matches per scan and 500 total entries. Scan history is a local research log, not an audit trail of every qualifying market event.
Browser Storage and Requests
Filter settings and history use local browser storage. Ticker, contract type, expiration and strike bounds are sent to data endpoints to obtain snapshots. No claim of complete anonymity or site-wide privacy follows from local storage.
Free Tool, Defined Limits
No paid tool subscription is required. The scan still has a 250-contract response limit, provider availability and request limits; unsupported tickers may return no data.
