I need assistance in modifying this code to calculate the option code to be used at the time of each signal. namespace PowerLanguage.Strategy { [IOGMode(IOGMode.Disabled)] public class Key_Reversal_LE_data2 : SignalObject { private IOrderMarket m_KeyRevLE; public...

Moved to programming topic area. Here is the continuation of this https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/need-net-terms-for-nearest-term-deep-in-the-money-call-option.308065/

The discussion started here https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/option-code-lookup.308002/#post-4429749 and has evolved into a topic more suited for a programming thread as opposed to where it is now. I am looking to day trade options with the Multicharts .NET platform or other suitable...

Messed up on this, no ability to edit title or delete post.

I haven't agreed to purchase it yet and they only let those users in. I'm still in trial mode and not entirely convinced that it's the best platform. Having access to other users might sway me. So far, I remain only optimistic. In my estimation, three basic types of traders exist: day traders...

LOL I still can't find yesterday. What the heck happened to it?

INPUT: The Underlying Stock or ETF (Input example: PBR, KB, or SPY) CONSTANTS: A Call Option (CALL). Nearest Term (NT) = Least number of days to expiration. In-The-Money (ITM) = Delta closest to .90 but not higher. OUTPUT: An Option Code How do I perform this function automatically based on...

Yeah, so from a "day trading perspective", I think Multicharts might work for testing my own ideas. However, your thinking intrigues me with respect to long-term strategies (such as a married put that I have adjusted on apple about 10 times). I can't code this in Thinkorswim quite the way I...

xandman, Thanks for this comment "building a FIX based OMS with Excel will allow you to Automate every conceivable analytical model and be marketable to many users/potential employers". I hadn't thought about it from that angle. I'm interested in figuring out how that might work. Let's start...

Multicharts does give more than a trading signal. It provides full automated trading of the signals against the option code whether it is chosen (hard coded) or calculated.

Ok so since this time last month, I have figured out a few things... It appears to me that there are not too many charting packages out there that allow you to script in a high level programming language like C# and choose from a list of mainstream brokers such as Interactive Brokers. In this...

Lylec305, Thank you... Let's define further What is considered high? Option: delta above .75 high open interest of ? high volume of ? Underlying: high beta of ? high volume of ?

Tradestation

If listing from the least amt of leverage to the most. 100 shares of stock or exchange traded fund - least leverage (example symbol SPY) 1 equity option contract controls 100 shares - more leverage than above (example symbol SPY170224C235) 1 future (e-mini) - more leverage than above (example...

that's interesting

Ok so if she were to get in and out of a single symbol (spy for instance), multiple times in a single day, over four days consecutively, and then waited a week or ten days to do it again, she would be able to with a small account?

I'm trying to get a friend of mine interested in day trading with equity options. Though she will not have more than $300 USD at risk in any one trade, she would still be subject to FINRA with her own account, which is less than 10k in size? Are there any alternatives for her regarding this?

I'm thinking multicharts.com might be the best option here.

Tom, thank you. I'd rather use a pre-built execution platform for IB if possible. What do you suggest?

Robert, thank you. Your's looks like a possibility but is even more expensive than TS if you consider the minimum per trade commissions.
