Read the whole decay surface in one grid.

The Options Heat Map plots strikes against expiry dates for any ticker. Every cell is shaded by delta intensity and labelled with daily theta per contract, so the option chain stops being a wall of numbers and becomes a picture — where the risk lives, where decay is fastest. Hover any cell for the full Greeks behind it.

Works on any optionable ticker. For your own research — not financial advice.

Strikes × expiries

A full grid of strike prices against expiry dates for the ticker you look up — the whole chain laid out as one surface instead of an endless scroll.

Delta shading

Each cell is shaded by delta intensity, so directional risk and rough assignment likelihood read straight off the colour. Deeper in the money, darker the cell.

Theta per contract

Every cell is labelled with the daily theta a contract sheds, mapping exactly where time decay is fastest across strikes and expiries.

Hover for full Greeks

Drill from the surface into any single strike — hover a cell to expand delta, theta, and the rest of the Greeks for that exact strike and expiry.

Pick your structure faster

Seeing decay and risk side by side makes it obvious which expiry and strike band fits the structure you're building — a CSP, a covered call, a spread.

Any ticker, held or not

Look up any optionable symbol — you don't need to own it. Pair it with the IV Rank screener to find which names are worth mapping in the first place.

A chain you can see, not just scroll

A traditional options chain forces you to compare rows one strike at a time and hold the shape in your head. The heat map collapses that into a single surface: colour for delta, a number for theta, the same axes you already think in. The fast-decay, low-risk corner — or the deep-ITM danger zone — is visible before you read anything.

Frequently asked questions

What does the options heat map show?

A grid with strike prices down one axis and expiry dates across the other. Each cell is shaded by delta intensity and labelled with the daily theta per contract, so you can read the entire chain's risk-and-decay surface for a ticker in a single view.

Why shade by delta and label theta?

Delta shading shows directional risk and rough assignment likelihood — darker cells are deeper in the money. The theta label shows how much time value each contract sheds per day. Together they map where decay is fastest against where the risk lives.

Can I see the full Greeks for a strike?

Yes. Hover any cell to expand the full Greeks behind it, so you can drill from the surface-level heat into the exact numbers for a specific strike and expiry.

Does it work for any ticker?

It renders the heat map for any optionable symbol you look up, whether or not you currently hold it.

Is this financial advice?

No. The heat map is a visualisation tool. It shows delta, theta, and the Greeks for your own research and does not recommend trades.
