Ticker Search & Watchlist Filter: Screen Only Stocks You Care About
Type tickers or load your watchlist to restrict the screener to only the stocks you want to wheel. The fastest way to focus a session.
What it does
The screener's search box lets you restrict the entire scan to a list of tickers. Type "AAPL, MSFT, NVDA" and the table will only contain those three stocks' options.
This is the fastest way to focus a session when you already have a buy list or own specific shares.
Where to find it
The search box sits at the top of both screeners. You can also click the omnisearch overlay (Cmd/Ctrl+K) for a richer experience that includes:
- Recent searches
- Your watchlist
- Suggested symbols
- AI query examples
How to use it
Workflow 1 — Wheel watchlist sweep.
- Type your watchlist as a comma-separated list.
- Apply your favorite preset.
- Sort by Rating to surface the best contract from each.
Workflow 2 — Single-name analysis.
- Type one ticker.
- Compare every available strike/expiration.
- Pick the optimal contract.
Workflow 3 — Already own shares.
- Type the ticker you own.
- Switch to the Covered Call screener.
- Set Moneyness ≥ +3% to keep the strike above your cost basis.
Watchlist integration
If you've built a Watchlist, it appears as a one-click filter in the omnisearch overlay. Saved searches and watchlists make repeat sessions a 10-second exercise.
Where to go next
- Build a Watchlist of your wheel-eligible names.
- Try the High IV preset on your watchlist.
- Use Excluded Stocks filter to remove names you never want to wheel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I screen multiple tickers at once?
Yes. Type a comma-separated list (e.g., 'AAPL, MSFT, NVDA') in the search box, or use the omnisearch overlay (Cmd/Ctrl+K) to add tickers as pills.
How is the watchlist different from the search box?
The watchlist is a saved list you can apply with one click and reuse across sessions. The search box is for ad-hoc queries. Power users save their wheel-eligible universe as a watchlist.
