Are there any plans for SC to develop options tools? Like showing a chain of calls and puts at least? Just curious, thanks.

No, not really. Options are not our specialty.

Hi,

Are there any plans now to develop an options chain or options table similar to the attached image (for future options, not stock options)?

This would be huge for Sierra Chart. The only other platforms out there that provide a similar future options table are Rithmic which is very slow, Thinkorswim which doesn't offer weekly options, and OEC Trader (pictured).

There are so many brokers out there that support Sierra Chart so it would give SC users who trade options huge flexibility in picking a broker.

All that would be needed is a table similar to the attached graphic which you could then right click on bid or ask to enter a trade. No option price modeling/charting is necessary. Just a barebones interface to view all the nearest X strike prices that you can trade off of.

With the recent black swan event in the swiss franc a few weeks ago a lot of brokers have raised margin requirements on currency future options and I have to believe there are people shopping around for a new broker now (myself included).

I would be willing to pay an extra monthly fee for this feature.

The best we can say is we will keep this in mind for the longer-term but it is not something easy for us to do in the short term.
