Options Chain

A tabular display of all available options contracts for a given security, organized by expiration date and strike price, showing the bid, ask, volume, open interest, and implied volatility for each call and put. The options chain is the primary tool for options traders selecting their strikes and expirations. Modern platforms present chains with color-coded in-the-money and out-of-the-money sections, making it easier to visualize the probability landscape at a glance.
