Quote.com's site lists symbols for options.  They have charts on their
site where you just type in the symbol.  However, I've never been able
to get an option chart with their free demo page.  Either options are
not included in the demo or they don't have charts for options.  You
might check out their pay service however.  

As a small (still learning!) trader, I trade some options.  I usually
just look at the futures charts but agree it might be interesting to
look at the option chart.  In cases where time decay is really competing
against the appreciation of the option, looking at the *option* chart
and exiting on a trendline break or some other indication, might be an
objective way of deciding when to exit?

I subscribe to option data from Bridge.  If I choose to, I can
distribute individual options to files just like futures and then graph
them.  The service I have is an end-of-day download service, not web
based.  They now have a website on which you can  get charts, but I
don't know if it includes options.   crbindex.com I believe.
