Here are the Top 5 results from a few of our volatility scans. These scans search for situations where implied volatility rises sharply. Research has shown that a rise in implied volatility often leads to a significant move in the underlying stock and an even larger move in the stock's options.

EXCLUSIVE: This exclusive scan shows stocks with the most negative implied borrow rate. A deeply negative borrow rate tells you that the put-call parity no longer exists because of an unusual situation. Most often, it is because the underlying stock is highly shorted. When stocks are highly shorted, finding stock to borrow in order to sell short becomes difficult, thus causing the implied borrow rate to go into deep negative territory. The advantage to this report is that short interest statistics are only available at certain intervals on a much-delayed basis. This report is updated daily and is current as of the close. For more information on the implied borrow rate, and how you can it to discover real-world trading opportunities, just click the button at the bottom of the app and we'll send you our free 7-part research series. The reports and the app are free.

Have you ever wondered how many options had no volume? Here's your answer. This scan displays the number of options with zero contracts traded for each asset on this Top 5 list. Despite having no volume, each option generates an enormous amount of data that needs to be displayed: changes in bid price, changes in ask price, changes in bid size, changes in ask size. Those changes happen with nearly every tick the stock makes. And it happens on every exchange that makes a market. On a normal day, one zero-volume option can produce as much as two hundred pages of data. The names on this list have thousands of zero-volume options, each producing hundreds of pages of information. All for nothing. They’re bandwidth hogs. The more zero-factor options there a stock has, the higher the "pork factor". To get the complete report, check out ODDS OptionApps.
