The Out-of-the-Money Modifier

To view out-of-the-money calls or puts, you use the minus sign (-) when entering your options symbol. For example, to view all out-of-the-money puts from the near expiration month, you would enter

SP@-P

where SP is the symbol root, @ specifies the near expiration month, - specifies out-of-the-money, and P specifies puts. As with the expansion macro, you can view out-of-the-money calls and puts by entering CP together at the end of the symbol.
