GFP,
I can get option quotes everywhere. On Yahoo. I like TDAmeritrade's Think or Swim platform. They're great for options. Usually, they're grouped by expiration date. Then listed numerically.

it's kind of hard to chart an option price. It's affected by time decay, and volatility, the price and beta of a stock too. You can chart the underlying stock, then buy or sell options depending upon your expectations.

If you're day trading or grabbing pennies, you'll want to be in stocks whose options have alot of volume (at least a few hundred a day in strikes near the money), otherwise you will have wide bid/ask spreads and a lack of liquidity.
