Hi All,

I am trying to create a study for Options Delta change from Max delta for the day. I have written the code which works well on lower Chart but when i create it as a watchlist column with same code its shows wrong info. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Some of the Symbols for your test:
.DASH210827C190
.GOOGL210827C2780
.PENN210827C70


Code in Lower Study: ( Daily 3 Minute Chart )
Ruby:
Code in Lower Study: ( Daily 3 Minute Chart )

##
# Find Max Delta and substract to find out Delta Max Change
#

declare lower;
def epsilon = 0.01 * close(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def delta = (OptionPrice(underlyingPrice = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol()) + epsilon) - OptionPrice()) / epsilon;

#Find Highest Delta
def highdelta = if barnumber() == 1 then delta[0]

else if delta[0] > highdelta[1]

then delta[0]

else highdelta[1];
#def highdelta= if Highest(delta,length) > delta[0] then Highest(delta,length) else delta;

def Flag= if delta[1] > delta[0] then 0 else 1;

plot DeltaDiff = AbsValue(highdelta-delta[0])*100;

DeltaDiff.AssignValueColor(if Flag==1 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

AddLabel(YES,"DeltaChange="+ DeltaDiff ,(if Flag == 0 then Color.red else color.green));




Code in Watchlist with 3 minute Aggregation:

##
#declare lower;
def epsilon = 0.01 * close(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def delta = (OptionPrice(underlyingPrice = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol()) + epsilon) - OptionPrice()) / epsilon;

#Find Highest Delta
def highdelta = if barnumber() == 1 then delta[0]

else if delta[0] > highdelta[1]

then delta[0]

else highdelta[1];
#def highdelta= if Highest(delta,length) > delta[0] then Highest(delta,length) else delta;

#def Flag= if highdelta[0] > delta[0] then 0 else 1;

plot DeltaDiff = AbsValue(highdelta[0]-delta[0])*100;

#AddLabel(yes,+ DeltaDiff , Color.RED);

AddLabel(Yes,+DeltaDiff,(if DeltaDiff > 2 and DeltaDiff < 5 then color.green else if DeltaDiff >=5 and DeltaDiff <=10 then color.yellow else if DeltaDiff >=11 then color.red else color.white));

#AddLabel(yes, Close_going_up ,color.green);



Any help will be appricaited.

I think whenever you need to scan in watchlist don't used word plot and used DEF
change it and try it if it works.

is your watchlist just a list of option symbols , not stocks?

column studies use just 1 function for output. 1 plot OR 1 addlabel.
you have 2 of each. you need to disable 3 of them.
then determine if you can combine you formulas and display your desired data in 1 addlabel. or make another study for another column.
( i guessed addlabel will work for you, because it can display text and numbers)

in a column, the addlabel color will be the font color.
to change the background color of the cell, use AssignBackgroundColor

yes my Watchlists are only Options... My watchlist code has only one plot and one label others twos are actually commented. I will try to experiment little bit more and see if it works..

I am speaking from memory. Studies and things that are normally possible on non-options are sometimes not possible on options themselves. I will need to check my references.

For example. I changed your script to plot the epsilon value that merely uses the underlying price. I could not see that value posted on the watchlist, where as it works for regular equity. Please see if that helps.
