I think so, ZBZB. I've all but exhausted my search, and I think you have as well. Your research matched mine. On the surface, it seems that such a...
Specifically, they were providing Ivolatility's RT Scanner and ST Scanner until 2015, when Ivolatility did away with the ST Scanner and went...
Sampled Barchart, and it is not real-time. Too bad, because the price was right! You are a gem, ZBZB, because Ivolatility was the other platform...
What I like to do is perform a scan for covered calls at a desired distance out of the money with bids, and then pick one to buy the stock and...
And I think you also need to open a brokerage account with them, am I right?
