Call/Put Scan

[Batman]

Is it possible to code a scan that pulls up stocks whose calls are more expensive than puts at the same expiration date? Generally, puts are more expensive than calls at the same price and expiration date, but in the rare instance that this reverses, it should be possible to buy the underlying, sell OTM calls, buy ATM puts, and walk away with a net profit. The hard part is finding that inbalance in the market.

The ToS Options Hacker Module doesn't allow the using of custom scripts to scan against options related data. We aren't allowed to use custom Thinkscript code in the Options Scanner.

Seems like it. Is there any other way to get this info from TOS's existing options data, or it's a question that's beyond TOS?

yes, that's beyond what ToS provides.
