Abstract:
A system for providing options trading data is provided. The system includes an options data system storing options data, such as options that are presently available to be bought or sold in an options marketplace. The system also includes a user profile system that stores user profile data, such as data that indicates the user's aversion to risk. An options selection system connected to the user profile system and the options data system generates options trading data, such as by selecting options that are presently available based on the user's aversion to risk. In this manner, a user with limited options trading experience can be provided with options trade suggestions that match the user's risk preferences.
