Built around the daily
options market overview.
OptionChainIQ turns captured option-chain data into a practical morning workspace: watchlists, market status, IV regime, unusual activity, strong signals, and latest capture context in one place before you dig into individual trades.
A cleaner first read on the options market.
The Overview page is designed to answer the questions active options traders usually ask first: what changed, where is volatility elevated, what names are moving, whether unusual activity is showing up, and when the latest data was captured.
Why OptionChainIQ exists
Options traders often work from scattered pieces: a chain here, a volatility page there, a watchlist somewhere else, and a spreadsheet trying to explain what happened. OptionChainIQ exists to make that first read more coherent. It captures the market, normalizes the data, and presents the pieces that matter most for options decisions.
The new Overview is the front door of that workflow. It combines personal watchlist context, a morning brief, high IVR symbols, strong signals, unusual options activity, latest capture status, index movement, and IV regime into one screen. The goal is not to tell you what to trade. The goal is to make the structure easier to inspect before you decide what deserves attention.
Behind that interface is the same captured dataset exposed through the API: option contracts, greeks, implied volatility, open interest, volume, underlying OHLCV, historical volatility, IV rank, IV percentile, signals, and market context. Traders can scan it visually. Builders can query it directly.
What the platform does
Market overview
Start with the dashboard summary: market status, index and vol context, high IVR symbols, unusual activity today, strong signals over the last 24 hours, and latest capture freshness.
Personal watchlist
Keep your own symbols close to the morning workflow so the market read connects to the names you actually follow.
Volatility regime
Compare IV rank, IV percentile, ATM IV, skew, and volatility context before evaluating premium-selling or debit-style setups.
API access
Use the same captured market store through structured endpoints for research notebooks, dashboards, reports, screeners, and internal trading tools.
Who it is for
What makes it different
- The Overview is operational, not decorative. It is built around the daily questions traders ask before looking at trades: what is moving, where volatility is elevated, what activity is unusual, and how fresh the data is.
- Dashboard and API share the same market store. The visual workflow and programmatic endpoints are fed by the same captured data layer.
- Options context is first-class. IV rank, IV percentile, ATM IV, skew, greeks, open interest, volume, expirations, and signals are part of the core product vocabulary.
- It supports judgement instead of replacing it. Trade Ideas and signals are starting points for review. The platform is designed to make assumptions visible so users can challenge them.
- It is built for repeatable process. Watchlist, morning brief, scanners, trade ideas, API access, and journal context are meant to reinforce a disciplined workflow over time.
Data, API, and workflow coverage
Every trading session, OptionChainIQ captures option contracts, greeks, implied volatility, open interest, volume, underlying OHLCV, historical volatility, IV rank, IV percentile, ATM IV, skew, signals, and market context. The Overview turns that capture into a fast market read. The API lets Pro users build directly on top of the same data.
This matters because options data is most useful when it is consistent. Repeated captures make volatility regimes, unusual activity, signal review, and historical setup research more meaningful than a single snapshot. OptionChainIQ is focused on capturing that continuity and making it easier to consume.

Built in Puerto Rico
OptionChainIQ is built from Puerto Rico for traders who prefer direct tools over hype. The product is still early, and the Overview is part of the direction: a serious daily workspace that makes options context easier to read without becoming bloated.
The project is being built with a practical operator mindset: capture the data, verify the calculations, expose what is useful, and keep improving the workflow based on how traders actually use it.
