    Anyone know of where I can get daily or weekly option charts after hours, or if they even exist?

  4. yeah you can, bigcharts, dtniq, etc, has them. but for some there isnt enought enought. I like to watch the print on options with the bid/ask at the time. for some you


     
  5. . Maybe he doesn't want to be as lazy as u. Chart the options. You're on the right track. Volatility follows along a lot of times. Thinkorswim has good charting and so does prophet.net
     
  6. haha, i to apologize for this.

    It's true, charting the underlying works, however you need to somehow chart the option itself or chart IV itself to gain an edge on IV and limit slippage.

    Zecco has decent data for IV. One of the few i've found that's free with an account.
