Is there a way to find out high volume of CALLS or PUTS for each Optionable Stock, i.e. run query

by stock.

Thanks

 

Topic: v18 WishList - Option Chain Enhancements
Posted: Friday, September 29, 2017 10:37:09 AM

My thoughts are: if you give me something to better make my trades I will use it.  I use the Greeks and Implied volatility and I check the graphs in CBOE.

However, when I see the numbers along the strike prices in TC2000, I say - "hey what is this, will the BS numbers help". There is nothing on Help in TC.

I couldn't find much on Google  as they all explain how it works, so I posted the question here as I think Bruce is a very smart guy.

What I am asking is - TC2000 could provide some guidance on how to use this to better trade options.

Thanks

Joe

Whoa, all I wanted to know what they mean:

For example XHB Jan 18 Call with a strike of 39, BS is 1.17.  For 40 it is 0.69. 

I guess if you go through the calculation you get the numbers but how to you it, theoretically 

Don't mean to get anyone in trouble  :-).  I am just using paper trades.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.  I have seen how the calculation is done of d1 & d2, etc., including the Khan Academy which explains very cleary.

All I am looking for is - how do  I use the numbers in the column to trade options?

This is a better question as I am new to options.

I have added the Black Scholes in one of my columns.

However, what do the numbers mean?

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

Still trying to find out how I can have a condition of today's Implied Volatility of 20 or less and adding that to a column on my watchlist.

So far I have not been successful.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

 

For my watch list, I am trying to the calculate % Relative Strength against the S&P 500 for a day, week, month & quarter & year.  I tried to see if this has been done before, without success.

I would like to do this to select stocks. I am using TC2000 12.5

Thanks

Joe

Thanks Bruce - that was super fast response.

I have tried deciphering your code & the support article but I still struggle with this.

I can still use the scans you have already provided event though I have not been clear.

If it is all possible to do all in one scan is what I am attempting to do-

  • Tenken crosses up kijun below the kumo
  • Not restricted to any # of bars price candle breaks into Kumo
  • Again not restricted to any # of bars price candle breaks above the kumo

If you could do this please, it will save me considerable amount of time.

Alternatively:

1. If you could modify and remove the 1 bar restriction please, i.e. anytime Tenken crosses up Kijun below the Kumo.

2. When the Tenken crosses up Kijun and breaks into the Kumo - it doen't have to be the next bar, i.e. any # of bars. However, the current code is good too to use.

Thank again

Joe
