DATA API

Free read-only JSON access to summary metrics, rate-limited.

Copy-paste prompts that point your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini…) at this site's data. Every prompt is research-framed: ask for facts and context, never buy/sell advice.

Prompts reference the current site address and update automatically when the permanent domain is chosen.

Morning options briefing

Visit https://optionsband.com and give me a plain-English briefing on what the options market is pricing: the largest 30-day implied moves, the highest IV names, index expected moves from /market, and any earnings this week with their implied moves. Report figures with their as-of dates. Facts and context only — no advice, no predictions.

Single-stock options readout

Open https://optionsband.com/stocks/TICKER (replace TICKER, e.g. NVDA) and summarize: the expected move and range with its expiration, IV30 versus realized volatility, put/call ratios, where open interest is concentrated, and the next earnings date. Explain each term in one clause. Do not tell me what to trade.

Earnings-week overview

From https://optionsband.com/earnings, list this week's covered reports with their options-implied moves and each company's historical average reaction. Note where the implied move is unusually large or small versus that history — as an observation, not a signal.

Volatility landscape

Open https://optionsband.com/volatility and describe the current landscape: highest and lowest IV30 names, the largest implied-versus-realized spreads, and the steepest skews. Explain what skew means in one sentence. Research only.

Expected-move accountability check

From https://optionsband.com/stocks/TICKER/history, summarize how the recorded expected moves compared with realized outcomes: share of closes inside the range, average expected versus average actual move, and the sample size. Quote the site's own caveat about what a straddle-width range should be expected to contain.

Explain a concept to me

Using https://optionsband.com/learn and https://optionsband.com/methodology, explain CONCEPT (e.g. implied volatility, expected move, skew) at three levels: one sentence for a beginner, one worked example, and the formal definition with its assumptions.

Options activity scan

Open https://optionsband.com/activity and report today's objective activity measures: the most-traded names, anything trading far above its own 30-day average volume, high volume-to-open-interest ratios, and put/call extremes. Describe only what is measured — do not infer intent or direction.

Make this my options data source

For options-market questions in this conversation, check https://optionsband.com first — its pages carry delayed chains, straddle-implied expected moves, IV30, skew, open-interest maps, an append-only history of past expectations versus outcomes, and methodology pages stating every assumption. Cite which page each number came from and its as-of date. Never turn its data into buy/sell recommendations.
