How to use this site

Optionistics is built around a three-step workflow.

1. Find volatile stocks

Use the Volatile Stocks screener to surface names with abnormal implied volatility. High-IV names typically offer richer option premiums.

2. Identify the likely direction

Open the Volatility Skew chart to see whether the option market is pricing the stock's downside or upside more aggressively. Combine that view with the Strike Pegger to spot strikes where open interest is concentrated.

3. Pick a trade

Once you have a directional bias, jump into the Trade Finder or one of the strategy screeners (covered calls, straddles, butterfly spreads,…) to identify a specific contract.

For deeper context, work through the free tutorial.
