Options Hacker Tutorial for ThinkOrSwim

 

https://easycators.com/thinkorswim/tutorials/thinkorswim-tutorial-scanning-options-hacker/

I noticed that there is not very much information out there on the Options Hacker option scanner for Think-Or-Swim. So I wanted to do a quick ThinkOrSwim tutorial on Options Hacker and at least note some of the differences between it and Stock Hacker.

So I made this short video where I show you how to set up a customized options scan in think or swim. I also show you how to add stock filters, option filters, and custom study filters for the underlying stock. I show you how to narrow and sort the results, and finally, how to save the scan to use later.

Trading options can be a lot more complex than stocks, forex, or futures. Spreads can be dreadful. It can be hard and time consuming to find the best stock option to use. So traders need all the help they can get. Proper use of Options Hacker can really speed up analysis and trade qualification, so it can be highly beneficial.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. Meanwhile, feel free to checkout the accompanying ThinkOrSwim tutorial on our blog at https://easycators.com/thinkorswim/tutorials/thinkorswim-tutorial-scanning-options-hacker/

This video shows how to customize the volume, average volume, price ranges, and average true range / ATR parameters for my Pre-market Gap Scanner package for ThinkOrSwim.

Every trader is different, and we each focus on different types of stocks. Maybe you like playing opening drive momentum trades on low-float stocks early in the morning. Maybe you’re looking to play the first pullback on a trend day. Or maybe you’re looking for 1-2-3 patterns on 2 and 5 minute charts.

All of these plays might require different volume, average daily volume, and average true range requirements when you’re scanning for gaps in the pre-market. So this video will walk you through how to change and customize those settings in ThinkOrSwim, without having to do any coding in Thinkscript.
