IB Probability Lab description

The IB Probability Lab(sm) offers a practical way to think about options without the complicated mathematics. The IB Probability Lab displays the Probability Distribution for any market, which translates investors' current conviction over certain outcomes. Interact with the tool to create your own forecast, and discover option trading strategies with the highest risk-adjusted return for this forecast.


The IB Probability Lab offers a unique display for experienced option traders and novices alike to see exactly how option market predictions are shaping-up over time for any given stock, index or futures symbol. Many investors have avoided the option market because of its highly-mathematical characteristics. But with the IB Probability Lab we break down all of the complexities typically associated with the market for options, allowing investors to visualize the forecast associated with present option pricing.


In turn, the IB Probability Lab allows investors to plot their own price forecast making it easier to generate appropriate risk-adjusted strategies that suit their customized forecasts.


The IB Probability Lab App is a free resource for investors to use on their Smartphones. When you open an account with Interactive Brokers you will also find plenty of other helpful stock scanners and option trading tools including the IB Option Strategy Scanner and the IB Volatility Lab.
