Here you go...

Options reversed...

Darn it... was hoping to catch something obviously wrong on my settings or something.... still not seeing it and its driving me nuts.

@pritspat Have you tried a different chart panel, tried restarting TOS, deleted the usergui directory, cleaned up garbage, etc...???

I've tried everything except deleting the usergui... will try it on a different PC and check it out. Thanks!

@rad14733 Looks like something might be wrong with TOS on my main system.... the script is working fine on a diff machine. Will try deleting the usergui dir and check after hours today.

Update: deleting the folder did not work... might just have to reinstall TOS... what a pita.

Hello,

I've built a very basic study to show the volume of up to 2 specific chosen options. I don't know how useful this might be. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I'm willing to listen. It would be cool if there were a way to sum of the volume of all calls or puts for a specific expiration. Or maybe add the volume for entered strike + 3 strikes above or below. I don't know if any of this is possible. Anyways just thought I'd share.

#Option_Vol - Simple Volume Histagram for up to 2 Options
#Created by Switchfire
#v1.0 08FEB2020


declare lower;

input Option1 = "";
input Option2 = "";

plot Vol1 = volume(Option1);
plot Vol2 = volume(Option2);

Vol1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
Vol2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
Vol2.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

#End Script

This shows the calls (blue) and puts (red) for Monday, 10 Feb 2020 332c/p

(i've done a simple modification to the plot which anyone can apply in settings)

Hi, How does the TMO_2Timeframe indicator perform? Is that available somewhere? I have been looking for an indicator like it, but unfortunately can't seem to find it anywhere.

It seems like you get the options pricing when you are viewing the options symbol on the chart. If you are not, it is returning n/a until the day is closed. Is this what you are observing too?

Hi, I've been trying to do a cumulative option volume on this study but I´m having a hard time getting it running if anyone could take a look will be much appreciated. Thanks,

declare lower;

input Option1 = ".SPY231009P428";
input Option2 = ".SPY231009P427";
input Option3 = ".SPY231009P426";
input Option4 = ".SPY231009P425";
input Option5 = ".SPY231009P424";

input Option6 = ".SPY231009C428";
input Option7 = ".SPY231009C429";
input Option8 = ".SPY231009C430";
input Option9 = ".SPY231009C431";
input Option10 = ".SPY231009C432";


def Vol1 = -(volume(Option1)+volume(Option2)+volume(Option3)+volume(Option4)+volume(Option5));
rec putvol = putvol[1]+ Vol1;

def Vol2 = volume(Option6)+volume(Option7)+volume(Option8)+volume(Option9)+volume(Option10);
rec callvol = callvol[1]+ Vol2;

plot dataput = putvol;
plot datacall = callvol;

datacall.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
dataput.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
dataput.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
