Kasper Posted September 12, 2022 Report Posted September 12, 2022 Hello, Can you please see why is SPY calculated differently (as 100 share lot) than other symbols? Also, can you please calculate sub total and totals for Time Value column too? Can I request to add a column that calculates option's Time value % of current underlying price? T.V * 100 /Price Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 12, 2022 Report Posted September 12, 2022 SPY - What quote source is this? Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Posted September 12, 2022 Portfolio in screenshot was from Yahoo feed, but it was behaving same for DXfeed. After switching data feed couple times, it seems to be fixed now. Thank you. Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 12, 2022 Report Posted September 12, 2022 don't know. somehow the cost multiplier got reset for it. If it is something you find a way to recreate, let me know Time Value % - will be in next update. Totals - don't want to do that right now - significantly more involved Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 13, 2022 Author Report Posted September 13, 2022 Thank you, I can manage the totals in spreadsheet for now. I am trying to import a filtered list of options (~500 ) in to MT and scan for basic price values, volatility and option greeks. There are some data points already available, may be if you have time, you can add more option symbols data for scanning. Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 13, 2022 Report Posted September 13, 2022 you looking to have stuff like Greeks in the scans? Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 13, 2022 Author Report Posted September 13, 2022 To be honest, I only look at Delta and Theta for greeks. I have the following columns for option chain in MT. Symbol Last Midpoint Spread Spr% Time Value Volume Volatility Change Chg% D.to.Ex Delta In/Out Opn Int Strike Pr Theta Time Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 13, 2022 Author Report Posted September 13, 2022 I think it will be better to have annualized Time Value %. 365/ D.to.Ex * Time Value. Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 for portfolios you can add custom columns using Scans - Just define a scan that returns the value you want. Can have multiple results and can name the columns Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 16, 2022 Author Report Posted September 16, 2022 Hello, Thanks for adding the column, can you please compare the calculation with my spreadsheet below? I think I made error on formula above, see if this is correct in spreadsheet for TV% I think extrinsic value cannot be negative. Are mid prices being used or last? I assumed mid prices below. Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 16, 2022 Report Posted September 16, 2022 ok, that will be a problem. I referenced the option price in the calc. yours divides by the stock price. I cannot refer to the stock price in the option calc. Will have to remove that column. Did add bunch of the others though Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 16, 2022 Author Report Posted September 16, 2022 I can use scanresult for custom columns as long as data is available. For an option symbol row, can I access data for it's underlying? Something like. SymbolData.Underlying.* Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 16, 2022 Author Report Posted September 16, 2022 How do you calculate TimeValue without a Intrinsic value, which is difference of Stock Price and Strike price? So you must be using Stock price somehow for TimeValue column. Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 16, 2022 Report Posted September 16, 2022 ok, you know what, I used a wrong approach. there is code to calc greeks. I will stick it in there. basically cant just do it right at the point that it is displayed 1 Quote
0 Kasper Posted September 25, 2022 Author Report Posted September 25, 2022 Thank for adding the columns and scan data points for options. You guys rock. 🚀💯 Quote
