To create a MultiSort Screener, users can simply navigate to the Screeners icon in the left navigation panel, choose MultiSort from the Screener Type panel, and select up to 10 factors from the Filters box. The Importance level of each factor can be easily modified for a personalized screening experience.

Another noteworthy addition to IBKR Desktop is the Option Lattice, a graphical options chain display that highlights potential outliers in key metrics such as Implied Volatility, Open Interest, Volume, or Last Price. This feature enables users to compare option contract metrics across different expiry dates easily. To access the Option Lattice, users can click on the Quote icon in the left navigation panel, select Option Chain from the tab set, click the View icon, and choose Lattice View. The display attributes are customizable, allowing users to tailor the view to their specific needs, including turning on the Strategy Builder to create calendars and other spreads.

Additionally, the Option Analysis feature provides users with a visual and editable in-depth analysis of a single underlying across key metrics, including Option Volume, Historical Volatility, Implied Volatility, Open Interest, and Skew. Traders and investors can access Option Analysis by clicking on the Quote icon, selecting Option Analysis from the tabset, and customizing the metrics display according to their preferences.

IBKR Desktop, constructed with a modern UI framework and simplified navigation, serves as a more lightweight alternative for active clients who prefer a streamlined platform. Despite its simplicity, IBKR Desktop incorporates the most popular tools from the flagship TWS, ensuring a seamless and efficient order execution process. This latest update reaffirms Interactive Brokers’ commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for its users in the dynamic world of electronic trading.
