OptionsHacker -to show Volume/OpenInterest/GammaExposure for the options chain For ThinkOrSwim

Still have not grasped the usefulness of this script, is there a way to explain it - i am looking mostly at ContributionsPercent
 

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

Hello. Is there a way to modify the OI and Volume so it only uses Out of the Money strikes?

Based on the great work done by others here, I present the

OptionsHacker

- An indicator that will scan the options chain and display information about volume, open interest, and gamma exposure.

Please note that this indicator only works on a daily timeframe. It will be hidden automatically on intraday charts.

The conditions are configurable for a certain 'strike depth' and 'series'.
The 'strike depth' is how far ITM, and OTM the study will scan starting with ATM options.
The 'series' determines what option expiries to look for.

For example: With a strike depth of 5, and the series set to weekly, the study will scan all options for that day that are expiring on the next upcoming friday, starting ATM and going ITM 5 strikes, and OTM 5 strikes.

Warning: Setting the strike depth to large values requires significant processing power, and will result in slow loading times.

This is a custom study I wrote in thinkscript. It does not use any part of the options scanner that is built into the platform or the condition wizard.

The results of this scan are configurable as well, by setting the 'data type'. Available data types are as follows:
  1. OpenInterest - Shows the total call and put open interest
  2. Volume - Shows the total call and put volume
  3. GammaExposure - Shows the total gamma exposure
For the GammaExposure data type, there are three settings as of now based on various formulas I have found.
You can select which method to use with the input 'gex calculation method'.
Available methods are as follows:
  1. ContributionShares: (https://squeezemetrics.com/monitor/download/pdf/white_paper.pdf)
    Call GEX = gamma * OI * 100
    Put GEX = gamma * OI * 100 * -1
  2. Contribution: (https://perfiliev.co.uk/market-commentary/how-to-calculate-gamma-exposure-and-zero-gamma-level/)
    Call GEX = gamma * OI * 100 * Spot Price
    Put GEX = gamma * OI * 100 * Spot Price * -1
  3. ContributionPercent: (https://perfiliev.co.uk/market-commentary/how-to-calculate-gamma-exposure-and-zero-gamma-level/)
    Call GEX = gamma * OI * 100 * Spot Price ^2 * 0.01
    Put GEX = gamma * OI * 100 * Spot Price ^2 * 0.01 * -1
The spot gamma at each contract is calculated using the Black Scholes Model. (shoutout to mobius for that one) (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/blackscholes.asp)

The spot price is calculated using the OptionPrice() function.

The Implied Volatility is sourced using the SeriesVolatility() function.

Notes:
  • The goal is to have the script automagically select the nearest ATM strike price, and spacing (where the spacing is the dollar amount between adjacent contracts). This may not always work. To override this behavior, set the mode to MANUAL, and the script will use the inputs 'manual center strike' and 'manual strike spacing' for the selection.

Hello. Is there a way to have the OI and volume only consider OTM strikes?
 
The OptionsHacker Indicator is a very useful tool. I have it setup much the same as the Ray Bull Bear Indicator looks. By being able to see the prevailing Options movements you are able to see and interpret the price movement on the price chart much more clearly. I use it on my Daily chart with the Triple Screen Method. By using the Triple Screen setup, you get to look at the immediate, intermediate, and longer-term price interactions. I use the Weekly (2yrs), Daily (6mo.), and 1Hour (20-days) timeframes. You can reduce the Weekly to 1yr. if you prefer. I also have my DotPlot Indicator, and the MultiMACD indicators as well. The Triple Screen Method is from Dr. Alexander Elder as written in his book, "Come into My Trading Room". He used other technical indicators such as the RSI, Ray Bull Bear Power (which he created), the MACD, MACDHistogram, Force Index, EMA Moving Averages, Channels (I found the Keltner Channels to work best, but you could replace that with the Bollinger Bands). He also used the Stochastics Slow, and Stochastics Fast to help for buy and sell timing.

Thank you to all the individuals who helped develop the OptionsHacker Indicator.
