real time options movements scanner

  1. Hi guys,
    What software/scanner do you use to monitor real time (No eod) option pricing and volume movements (NOT a stock scanner like trade ideas).

    I want to see in real time sudden price and volume movements in all (stock and futures) options. Ideally combined with real time news alerts for the underlying stock.


    Thanks
     
  2. trade-alert.com is a step in the right direction, they don't fulfill everything you're looking for though.
     
  3. Thank you. Looks promising.
    Do you use this yourself?
     
  4. Actually no, I trade power for a small shop and not equities, so its not worth the subscription price for me. On the other hand, the company posts regularly on theoptionsinsider.com and also on whatstrading.com so you can kind of get a delayed glimpse on what their product offers.
