Options traders live or die by the option chain, which is why we consistently strive to refine, streamline and ultimately improve the options chain functionality in the OptionsHouse trading platform. To that end, our latest enhancements to the chain both put more power in your hands and streamline the trading experience.
You can access the options chain configuration menu by clicking on the “custom” button in the upper right-hand area of the options chain.
Switch to Custom:
Choose Your Columns (click to enlarge):
Custom Chain:
1. Columns
You can now choose which columns to display in the options chain and in what order to display them. Once you set up the chain just the way you like it, you can view the customization screen again by clicking on the wrench icon (circled above in blue). This brings you back to the configuration screen. Tip: You can always view the classic SIZES or GREEKS mode with a single click by choosing them in similar fashion.
2. Colors
This isn’t a new feature, but the OptionsHouse platform now gives you a little sneak preview of how your chain will look in both Day and Night mode. (A white background and black background, respectively).

We hope you like these small improvements, because there are more to come! In the next couple of weeks, there will be more changes to the chain rolling out. Stay tuned to this space to learn about all the exciting new enhancements we have on deck.
