Filter by Strikes​

This filter enables you to view options data within a specific range of strike prices. You can filter using either a custom range (for example, strikes between 550-600) or by selecting a moneyness percentage value. When using moneyness filtering, selecting a value (such as ±5%) will display options with strikes that fall within that percentage above and below the current spot price. This filtering capability allows you to quickly zoom in and focus on relevant strike price ranges.
