Scanner which shows only stocks with weekly options

[ffs1001]

Hi,

I currently use a TWS scanner like this below which gives me a list of the biggest fallers and risers :

However, this lists a lot of stocks which don't fit my criteria. I am only interested in those stocks which have weekly options listed. I cannot seem to find a way to enforce that criteria to reduce the above list. I've searched for ways in the 'Add Field' below, but cannot find a suitable filter :

The only workaround I can think of is to create a watchlist of my own, and add in the 600 odd stocks that have weeklies.

Is there any other service (Barchart, etc?) which can provide a list of fallers/risers with weeklies?

I use TDA/ThinkOrSwim option scanner (called "Option Hacker"), which is free. I didn't see exactly a way to select only weeklies, but you can set "days to expiration" as your criteria, thus catching both monthly and weekly options expiring within a week or so.

Hi @guru, I had a feeling you'd be the guy to respond to my query.

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the original post - I live in the barren, trading wastelands known as the UK - we are not eligible to have TDA/ToS. So, IB (or TastyWorks) are the only brokers that I am aware of which take on clients in this country.

Look at www.poweropt.com it can do most things, or www.ivolatility.com

Ivolatility has a scanner. www.sweepcast.com a new scanner may not be what you are looking for but neat.

Maybe also paid version of Market Chameleon, which seems to allow selecting days-till-expiration:

I use tos demo from uk to model strategies, 20min delayed...

On Finviz you can select optionable stocks as a scanning filter, although not specifically weeklies.

For a fee, Orats has plenty of scanning options too.
