New Product Launch: How to Use TradingView Options

30 Mei

We’ve rolled out our newest product and we’re eager to brag about it! It’s an options platform — TradingView Options. More precisely, it’s a powerful set of tools for options traders who want to keep a close eye on every little detail and fine-tune their strategy to perfection.

What Are Options?

Options are financial derivatives that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset at a set price within a set period.

TradingView Options

TradingView Options is designed to illuminate your options trading strategy from the first step to the last one. Get razor-sharp options strategies on gold futures (GC1!), oil futures (CL1!), and many more.

Let’s break it down and discuss what it's about. For starters, you’ve got three key components — Strategy Builder, Options Chain, and Volatility Analysis.

1. Strategy Builder

• Create, test and visualize options strategies with real-time data.
  
• Use pre-built strategies filtered by bullish, bearish, or neutral outlooks.
  
• Customize strategies with adjustable parameters like expiration dates and strike prices.
  
• Get estimates for max profit, max loss, win rate, and more.
  
• Compare multiple strategies on a single chart for performance analysis.
  

2. Options Chain

• Options chains are broken down into two sections — calls and puts.
  
• Strike price is displayed in the center column — it’s where the put or call can be exercised.
  
• Next to Strike is IV, %, which stands for Implied Volatility in percentages.
  
• Measure options risk with the Greeks: Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, and Rho.
  
• Easily switch underlying assets with a simple symbol search at the top left.
  

3. Volatility

• Analyze market volatility to understand potential price movements and risks.
