I have already uploaded a trading object to get optionable information for US Stocks. The item is located here US Stocks: Exchange, Market, Sector, S&P 500, Optionable. It gets also exchange, market, sector and the indices the stock belongs to.
This trading object gets data from another website; it marks stocks that are optionable by settings their corresponding field "optionable" of the database "optionable" to one. Value is set to zero for non optionable stocks.
A stock is optionable when it has options trading on a market exchange. Currently, there are more than 3000 companies with optionable stocks. There are some requirements that must be met in order for a stock to become optionable. For example, a stock is required to have a minimum number of outstanding shares and a minimum share price.
Knowing if a stock is optionable is very important if you plan to develop option-based trading strategies or if you want to use indicators based on a stock's options.
For a list of stocks that can be shorted (Shorting is the process of selling a stock without owning it), follow the next item: List of Shortable Stocks.
