What do OptiScan pre-set filters apply?

OptiScan pre-set filters are predefined criteria that identify options contracts with specific characteristics such as liquidity, volatility, volume, or timing around earnings. OptiScan uses these filters to quickly narrow the options universe to relevant trading opportunities.

Available pre-set filters

  • High liquidity: filters options with bid-ask spread below 3% and open interest above 1,000 contracts
  • Low IV vs. RV: filters options where implied volatility is lower than 30-day realized volatility
  • High volume: filters options where daily volume exceeds the 30-day average by more than three times
  • Expiring before earnings: filters contracts that expire before the next scheduled earnings date
