I would like to set up an alert for a specific type of volume spike in Options Chain. I trade only SPX options and precise only few option chains(1DTE) which has more Open Interest and volume. ex: .SPXW221227C3850, .SPXW221227C3900 etc these expires next day.
What I want is, I will create a watchlist with my required SPX options chains(these changes everyday) and then a scan should run and give me alert when there is spike in volume. during trading hours.
I would like the alert to trigger when any 5 minute bar or 1min bar after the first 6 bars has volume 80%(can be adjusted) or higher to the first 6 bars average volume. So basically you would average the volume per bar of the opening half hour; then any bar throughout the day that exceeds 80% of that average would trigger the alert. I am not able to attach the image.
I appreciate anyone taking the time to help out. Thank you
I'm not really good at understanding or doing coding, can you pls let me know if any one can write custom code?
