Now it’s even easier to put our innovative Screener tool to work for you, canvassing the market for potential stock, option, mutual fund, or ETF opportunities based on your preset criteria.
Thanks to the suggestions of several customers via the optionsXpress Wish List (wishlist@optionsxpress.com), we’ve added several new choices to help narrow your search:
- Exclude non-optionable stocks
- Exclude stocks with no single stock futures (SSF)
- Exclude a stock if earnings are being reported between two selected dates
By making it easier to refine your search, we’ve made the Screener an even more useful tool for finding your next investment possibility. See how it works.

The more time you have to spend organizing and administering your account, the less time you have to concentrate on what really matters – investing. That’s why optionsXpress is always on the lookout for new ways to make your life easier, like our new Money Manager tab.
The Money Manager is a great way to keep track of all your funding activity in one convenient place. Both the ACH Manager and Standing Wire Manager in this area are designed to help you quickly and easily set up, view and modify your funding information.
We’ll soon be adding a new Check Manager function to this tab as well. In the meantime, let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to see.

If you’re considering an investment and want to find out if the numbers align with your objectives, our new Trade and Probability Calculator may help you see things more clearly.
Now in addition to determining risk and reward, buying power, and the financial feasibility of potential strategies, the new probability function allows you to overlay a probability curve onto the Trade Calculator chart by manipulating and calculating percentages, standard deviations, and target prices. The Percentage Play feature even lets you work backwards by entering a probability to find a price point and get an immediate picture of the possibility.
Take a look at the new Trade and Probability Calculator and experience the next level of investment analysis at optionsXpress.
