Options Gamma Study For ThinkOrSwim

[FuturesTrader2022]

Would it be possible to take the code below that I have on the options chain and build a lower study that would show the change in gamma for the highlighted Strikes for 0DTE? Even if I had to change the date each day in the code to get it to pull the data? I would want this for SPX and SPY so I could see change in gamma on the chart without having to open up the options chain. I view this every day to get an idea of the gamma wall that may be support or resistance. What I have noticed is that on the SPX if gamma is call heavy then it most likely goes up and those strikes are ITM at end of day. And on SPY just the opposite. Seems to be more of a contrarian indicator on SPY and a direction on SPX. But only 0DTE matters.

CODE
# Gamma Exposure at each strike is calculated by the formula option gamma * open interest * 100 (calls, x-100 for puts)

plot data = if IsPut() then gamma() * -100 * open_interest() else gamma() * 100 * open_interest();
assignbackgroundcolor(if AbsValue(data) > 2000 then createcolor(250,150,100) else color.black);
data.assignvaluecolor(if AbsValue(data) > 2000 then color.black else color.current);

No, but I just realized it can be used in a watchlist as well as the options chain. Please repost your script so I can see if it works for me thanks

How do you do that?

plot data = if IsPut() then gamma() * -100 * open_interest() else gamma() * 100 * open_interest();

def rangeHigh = Highestall (absvalue(data)) ;


assignbackgroundcolor (if absvalue(data) > 1000000 then color.white else if AbsValue(data) > 500000 then color.gray else if absvalue(data) > 200000 then color.green else if absvalue(data) > 100000 then color.yellow else if AbsValue(data) > 50000 then color.light_orange else if AbsValue(data) > 20000 then color.cyan else if AbsValue(data) > 9999 then createcolor(250,150,100) else color.black);




data.assignvaluecolor(if absvalue (data) > 200000 then color.blue else if absvalue (data) > 100000 then color.light_red else if AbsValue(data) > 9999 then color.black else color.current);

Do mean how do I use it in a watchlist Column? Here is a watchlist link. Make sure you name in Gamma (something) so you can find it) http://tos.mx/LrfSxhc

Yes. So that I won't have to keep switching the chart windows. Does the Open Interest has any significant role when trading options?

Can not make this script work

There are many Youtube Videos that explain Open Interest; Here is just 1

I will send the link when I get home.
Did you save it in the Options customize column?

No. I didn't even know that they have a discord.

It would be nice to have GEX converted as a lower study on a chart.

I think you have to be VIP now that I think about it

The SPX Gamma (yellow background) "Targets" hit today on the PUT Options

I was watching the options chain this morning. I noticed that SPY moves in the direction of contracts with a higher GEX. So I thought it could be good to use it to scalp. Especially when the GEX is over 100k on one side.

I think you are right about Gamma being a "Target".

I'm trying to copy the script and share it but I can't find the options to share the link. I'm going to copy it to studies and save it so that I can send it as a shared link. https://tos.mx/lXKzeP0

It's not showing. It says NaN. Also, I thought it will show on the window side watchlist.

Yeah, it doesnot work for me

Your sent the link as a Strategy Here is how to create the link in the options chain tab: Open the options chain under the trade tab.

Got it. https://tos.mx/oFygibf
Is there a reason why the gamma script you gave me is showing NaN on my options chain?

 

[3AMBH]

Got it. https://tos.mx/oFygibf

Can't do it tonight but will let ya tomorrow. Thanks for your efforts

The link you sent does not allow it to be used in the Options Chain. No need to spend any more time on this. I can live with what I already have. Take care and good trading!

That's weird. I followed the procedure you showed me on how to share the link. I'm trying it one more time. https://tos.mx/VWf2UpO Also, the link you gave me is showing Nan on my options chain. Maybe @Chemmy can help.

I have done this process of sharing links 100's of times and never had any issues. The newest link you sent does not work for me. Thanks for trying again. I'm done. Take care P.S. I tried it on another computer to see if it would help but it failed there too
