Q.
Bloomberg: options
How do I find options information in Bloomberg?
A.

 

  1. Type a company ticker and select OMON (Option Monitor) to view a complete list of currently active options.
    • In the Options Monitor display, calls are listed on the left and puts on the right. Contracts are grouped by month of expiration.
  2. Use [PgDn] to scroll through the list of open contracts.
    • While the roots of options tickers are based on the underlying equity ticker, they can differ, especially for distant and far out-of-the-money options. OMON is the surest way to find exact options tickers.
  3. Left click a contract ticker to see a list of functions. Select OSA for Option Scenario Analysis that allows "what-if" analyses by changing assumptions in amber fields.
