Get a comprehensive view of a company's options chain, earnings history, time and sales, and technical outlook.
1
Options chain & volatility surface: In addition to the standard options chain, we added a monthly IV graph as a useful visual aid for advanced traders who want to identify outliers in the options chain. See how each individual strike compares across the entire volatility surface. The call and put mid IVs for each strike are overlaid on top of the smoothed IV skew for each expiration. A line through each expirations at-the-money (ATM) IV is drawn to accentuate the overall direction of IV. Highlighted are the highest and lowest slope, IV, confidence, and mwVol (ATM weighted market width in implied volatility terms) of all expirations.

2
Earnings moves visualized: Powered by a visually stunning representation of implied vs. actual earnings moves, you can view the complete history of the last 12 earnings reports for a company, overlaid with key financials such as PE Ratio, EPS Estimated vs. Actual, and Annual Dividend Yield. Consider doing your own analysis by downloading a table of these results, which includes 19 earnings metrics, such as Inter-Earnings IV and HV.

3
Time and sales: We look at the raw order flow and detect the largest trades coming through the market. In addition to the strategy and contract size, you can also find the trade amount (in dollars), theoretical edge (compared to our theoretical price), and the contracts / avg. option volume 20d (to see the relative size of the position). You can sort on all of these metrics. Additionally, ORATS presents an intraday chart of dollar delta plus a summary of total premium, total profit, and opening vs. unknown volume. Analyzing these metrics can help you form a well-crafted trading thesis.

FAQ
Ticker Analysis, answered.
What is on the Ticker Analysis page?
Six tabs for one symbol: Trade Builder for the forward chart, Outlook for the technical and volatility read, Options Chain for every strike and the volatility surface, Earnings & News for the announcement history, Time & Sales for today’s prints, and Trade History for what has already traded.
What does the volatility surface view add over a plain chain?
It overlays call and put mid implied volatilities for every strike on top of our smoothed IV skew for that expiration, with a line through each expiration’s at-the-money IV. Outliers are the point: the view highlights the highest and lowest slope, IV, confidence, and at-the-money weighted market width across expirations.
How much earnings history do I get?
The last 12 quarterly reports, charted as implied move against actual move, overlaid with fundamentals like PE ratio, estimated versus actual EPS, and annual dividend yield. The table behind it carries 19 earnings metrics, including inter-earnings implied and historical volatility, and downloads as a file.
What does the Time & Sales tab show?
The large prints crossing the tape right now, grouped into the strategy that traded rather than listed leg by leg. Each print carries its contract count, dollar premium, the fill against our mid and our theoretical value, implied volatility, and the exchange, above an intraday dollar-delta chart and a premium summary that says whether the flow is bought or sold, call- or put-heavy.
Are the numbers live?
Real-time data comes with every Trading Tools subscription, but you have to sign the OPRA and Cboe agreements first. Click the orange “Get live data” link at the top of the dashboard, or go to dashboard.orats.com/live-data. Until then the quotes run 15 minutes behind the market.
Can I get this data over an API?
Yes. The chain, greeks, volatility surface, and earnings history all come from the ORATS Data API, and the tape is the Time & Sales API, tick-level prints back to September 9, 2022 with delta, gamma, implied volatility, and the underlying price on every print. Those are separate API subscriptions; see the Data API page.
What does Ticker Analysis cost?
It is included in ORATS Trading Tools at $99 per month for an individual license ($199 per user per month for a professional license), alongside every other tool on the platform, from the backtesters and scanners to Otto, real-time data, and broker connections. Cancel within 24 hours of signup for an automatic full refund.
