In the new V18

Can we screen for Gaps in the pre and post market data vs close. 

I am looking to screen for stocks that are set to Gap up or down at the open vs where they closed the day before.

my goal is to be aware of these names the night before or an hour or so before the open

 

Is this possible?

No, it is not possible to scan using the pre and post market data in TC2000 v18.

Pls add this! it would be very helpful!!

The data is alraedy in TC so how difficult would it be to just compare the price now vs what it was at the close 

This would be a great addition

There are guys like the Najarians on CNBC that have screens to track large option orders vs open interest 

Can something like this be done within TC?

We are looking for Large Block Trades that exceeds the open interest in that option

For ex if the April 20 75 Calls has an open interest of 2000 contracts and a large trade of 4000 which is higher than the open interest is excecuted. 

Can we screen for something similar to this in TC

I cannot think of any obvious way to do this.

Recently I have started learning and using the Options capability on TC2000. There is an indicator that I am very interested in but I don't think it is available to us. It is Lawrence McMillan's modified bollinger bands. Is it available or, if not, can it be added to the arsenal of indicators.

I really don't know because I haven't found any definitive source on the modifications other than buying the book (which I am not going to do). You may want to take a look at the following however.

Bruce,

I know I touched on this above looking for large option trades. At the end of the day can we somehow compare to total volume for today for an option vs the open interest of that option? 

I understand that we can't screen for large trades but what about total volume vs open interest
