OVERVIEW

The Options Chain

Options are financial derivatives that give buyers the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price and date. As a buyer, If you buy an option you’ll pay a premium to the sellers for the right to own the contract. As a seller, you’re taking on an obligation, so whatever happens you earn a premium from the buyer.

The Options Chain is a listing of all available options contracts for a given security. It shows all listed puts, calls, their expiration, strike prices, and volume and pricing information for a single underlying asset within a given maturity period. Robinhood's option chain page has not evolved in a long time. User needs have shifted and there are improvements that can be made to the data displayed for each contract. I explored different ways we can redesign the chain and bottom sheet on mobile with different sets of data.
