Options Chain
A listing of all available option contracts for a given underlying, organized by expiration and strike price.
Explanation
An options chain displays calls and puts side by side, showing bid, ask, volume, open interest, implied volatility, and Greeks for each contract. It is the primary tool for options traders to analyze available contracts and select appropriate strikes and expirations.
Example
Viewing the AAPL options chain shows all strikes from $100 to $200 across weekly and monthly expirations, with real-time pricing and Greeks.
