I prefer to close out positions at 50%, but sometimes they linger. None for the dates in between. Not sure if those are.
Free ThinkOrSwim Indicators TOS Indicators
I was wondering if there is a way on tos to show your weekly, monthly, and yearly profit and loss totals.
As you see in the option chain these weeklys start about 6 to around 8 weeks out.
I use tda/thinkorswim option scanner (called option hacker), which is free. As stated in the title, how do i add a scanner in tos to scan for companies that offer options expiring on a weekly basis? I have no filters on (i see there is weekly and quarterly filters). I can do a scan and see there are ~600 stocks with weekly options.
Before adding weekly's at your scan criteria at top must include,. Schwab allows trading 24/5—24 hours a day, five days a week. I want to find the ones that have been in a trading range (i.e. Sideways price movement) for about 3 months.
Currently, i log into tos and manually eyeball every open options trade to see if any options are expiring in the current week.
There's more to trading than what happens between the sounding of the bells. Click a “pill” to view a table with position details: This is great, but the default results also inlude stocks that only have monthly options and no. For example, for snap, i only see options for 17 jan, 17 apr, and so on.
On the scan menu, there is a switch to make the scan results to only include optionable stocks. Create a custom options watchlist using thinkorswim in excel. Display “pills” for both underlying and option positions. I didn't see exactly a way to select only weeklies, but you can set days to expiration as your.
Weekly options chains expire each friday except for the 3rd friday when the monthly ones do.
