What is the IWM Options Chain?
The IWM options chain displays all available call and put option contracts for the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), which tracks the Russell 2000 index of small-cap U.S. stocks. IWM represents the performance of approximately 2,000 small-cap companies and is the most popular vehicle for trading small-cap volatility. Small-cap stocks tend to be more volatile than large-caps, making IWM options attractive for traders seeking higher risk/reward profiles. IWM options offer excellent liquidity with daily expirations available. Our free IWM options chain viewer provides real-time data including bid/ask quotes, last trade price, volume, open interest, implied volatility, and the full suite of Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega) for every contract.
