Thank you to all who posted links or contacted me via PM or E Mail to sites for screening. It appears that there are many lurkers out there who are not members and cannot post. I am not optimistic that any of them can provide the personalized screening information that I am looking for but will try trial subscriptions to those that may have possibilities. Most of these sites want to tell you where the good trades are and my feeling is that if they could do that they would be trading for themselves. I know what I am looking for and I just need help in sorting through the ever increasing amount of data available to find those high percentage trades. Much of the IV screening that the pay sites charge for can be obtained for free at such sites as Optionetics and IVolatility which Dave mentioned. McMillan and Schaeffer's sites are particularly shameless in the information they charge for that can be obtained for free elsewhere. Price is not that important if you can find a site that provides the information that will help improve your trading. I am going to the Online Trading Expo next month in NY and most of the online brokers and data providers will have exhibits. Trac Data will be there so I will make a point to check out the option software that OX mentioned. I went to it last year and you could learn much more about a product by seeing it in action than you can by speaking to a rep over the phone. Came away disappointed that no one was offering a product that could help me but this is a new year and maybe someone has upgraded their service. Anyone have questions that they would like asked of the online brokers or data providers I would be happy to try and get some answers. Usually there is a principal of the firm at the show.
