Best stocks for options trading

  1. for my strategy to work I need highly liquid options with tight spreads. Currently I trade only on Apple and spy for this reason.

    What other stocks have options with similar liquidity and spreads?

    A lot of volume is crossed by larger brokers. The most active list is not always going to show you which options have tight spreads with decent size on either side but it's a good place to start . When I left the trading floor back in 2010 as much as 70% of all volume in any one day could've been crossed by brokers.
