Finding the options with the largest trading range?

[Wowzers]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a tool/scanner or website that lets you know which options have the highest most extreme intraday trading ranges?

Maybe http://finviz.com/ may have the info you are looking for.
They have a screener.
Else High Volatility should identify them.
Just a thought.

1) It depends on what you really mean. On an arithmetic basis, higher-volatility, higher-priced underlying, at-the-money options, would tend to have the greatest number of points of range, i.e. a $50 option has a 10 point daily range.
2) On a geometric basis, out-of-the-money options that experience a large move in the underlying can have "large" percentage gains, i.e. a $1 option increases $2 to $3.

The ones whose stock price moves around the most intraday (percentagewise).

Do you read questions in posts before you answer?
