New hourly reports provide timely, actionable insights to help investors quickly identify trading opportunities
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Firstrade, the most cost-effective financial technology brokerage and one of the first to offer zero-commission trading, is giving beginner and advanced options traders free access to hourly covered call, short put and credit spread reports to help them make smarter, actionable trading decisions. Powered by OptionsPlay, Firstrade's Options Trade Ideas Reports does the work for investors, eliminating the chore of searching through thousands of optionable symbols.
Using OptionsPlay's algorithms and scanning technology, Firstrade's Options Trade Ideas filters hourly for very liquid optionable symbols, curated down to a few hundred, to ensure that trades can be executed at a fair price therefore providing investors with the best chance for success. By eliminating the inefficiencies of manual input, investors can make faster trading decisions and through the OptionsPlay platform, immediately analyze important metrics such as probability of profit, Greeks, breakeven, and maximum risk and reward. Additionally, investors can adjust and analyze the trade based on their directional view on the underlying stock and expiration date.
In addition, Firstrade options investors can use a trade button directly from the Options Trade Ideas table and the trade ticket will instantly open and populate exact details of that trade setup for quicker analysis and execution.
