Show Option Trade on Chart Indicator ?

Hi All,

Has anyone written a script to display options trades directly on the ToS chart? I'm looking for something the same as how you can display stock trades. This would be super helpful for review and teaching purposes. I've searched all over and couldn't find it. Any help appreciated!!

I'm not clear on exactly what you mean.. but I do use the option contract for calls and puts on a chart using lower studies. most indicators works with the options contracts. for example I took a nice trade today on .QQQ221209C282 using a 4 min timeframe. it's just one part of a larger market understanding of my chart layout.

i use a QQQ call and put watchlist that matches to a chart so it's easy to change the option and go long or short.

I figured out how to set up a chart for spreads whereby I subtract one contract from the other. It's not perfect but it does an okay job if set to 1 min TF over the past few days. It would be entered as .XXXX230106P155-.XXX230106P150, where XXXX is your ticker. Play around with it. If the chart shows a negative dollar amount instead of a positive, just reverse the strikes, P150 - P155 in this example.
