zfin options
Show the options chain (all expirations) for a symbol.
Usage: zfin options <SYMBOL> [--ntm <N>]
Lists every expiration with its call/put counts and auto-expands the nearest monthly expiration into strike tables near the money (last/bid/ ask, volume, open interest, and implied volatility). The other expirations stay collapsed to their counts. Data comes from CBOE -- no API key required, cached one hour, 15-minute delayed during market hours.
Options
| Flag | Default | Effect |

--ntm <N> |
8 |
Show ±N strikes near the money on the auto-expanded expiration. |
NTM = near the money. --ntm only widens or narrows the strike band
on the one auto-expanded expiration; it does not expand the others.

Filtering to calls or puts
The CLI has no calls-only / puts-only flag. For that -- plus expanding
any expiration and changing the strike band on the fly -- use the
Options tab in the interactive TUI: c and p toggle
all calls / all puts, and Ctrl-1 through Ctrl-9 set the ±N
near-the-money band.
