Hi,
I am having a difficult time finding powerful, yet easy-to-use web-or-mobile-based (no desktop apps) options screeners. I have tried offerings from E-Trade, Schwab, Fidelity, Merrill, TD Ameritrade (though haven't yet tried Thinkorswim), Firstrade, Vanguard, Robinhood, etc.
For example, say I wanted to execute a rudimentary "income" screen (for covered calls or cash secured puts). I'd like to be able to run a screen like...
Strategy: PUT
Expiration: > 150 days
Moneyness: <= -50%
Put Volume: >= 10
Annualized Return If Expired: >= 5%
...and get a list of securities that have options that currently match this criteria. From there, I'd like to be able to drill-down on each matched security for the list of matching options.
The closest thing that I have found is the "Options Income Screener" from E-Trade, but the supported filter criteria are very simplistic, and worse, you need to specify the security upfront. Here is a screenshot:
Is there anything like this, but with a more robust set of supported filter criteria, for example, as described above? Many of the screeners I have tried don't support filtering by "annualized return", etc. Does Thinkorswim support this (from desktop or mobile)?
Ideally it would also be "free" (as a tool bundled though an existing brokerage) as is the case with the above E-Trade options screener.
Thanks!
