About OptionsScreenerPro
Is OptionsScreenerPro a broker?
No. OptionsScreenerPro is a research tool that ranks and filters stocks and option contracts using market data. It cannot place trades, never holds money or securities, and does not give investment advice.
Is the market data realtime?
No. Phase 1 uses free and delayed providers plus end-of-day data. Every page shows a freshness badge with the source and how old the numbers are.
Which markets are covered?
US-listed stocks and ETFs and their listed options, from the market-data providers an administrator has configured.
Why does a column show "-" instead of 0?
An unknown number is never shown as 0. A "-" means the value cannot be computed honestly yet, for example because the previous session baseline is missing; the tooltip says why.
Plans and account
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan needs no card. Paid plans add more saved screens, watchlists, alerts, reports and exports.
Can I sign in with Google?
Yes. You can create an account with an email address and password or with Google.
How do I cancel a paid plan?
From Account, Billing. Cancelling keeps your plan until the end of the period you paid for.
Alerts and the AI copilot
How quickly do alerts fire?
Alerts are checked on a schedule against delayed data, so they can lag the live market by the provider delay.
What can the AI copilot see?
Only what the page you are on shows and what you type, minimised before it is sent to the AI provider. It never sees your password or payment details. The What the AI sees page lists the details.
Are AI answers investment advice?
No. AI answers are educational, generated from delayed data, can be wrong, and are labelled as AI-generated.
Educational information, not investment advice. Market data is delayed (or end of day) and labelled as such; nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
