Layout & Navigation

Designed to reinforce our tenet: “Market First”, Option Stalker displays the SPY header at the top of the display on every page, giving you continuous access to market conditions.¹ At the bottom, use the navigation bar to access the various sections of the web app: Charts, Search, Lists (Home), Chat (for Chat & Pro members), and Menu.²

Trade Signals

At the heart of Option Stalker are the OneOption trade signals. Always visible on the market header, these signals provide an intuitive multi-timeframe view into the strength and direction of SPY, and thus the market. Colors red and green denote bearish and bullish, respectively, and are formed using a confluence of factors, most notably: OneOption’s 1OP indicator. Blue outlines represent higher than normal volume, and each trade signal links to its corresponding chart and timeframe. These trade signals are visible on all lists within Option Stalker to give you a deeper trading perspective.
