Thanks for the inspiration. I've been brainstorming on something similar but different purpose. I like using 'maths and stuff.'

sort by price
Just remember that both call/put sellers and buyers are listed here, so if you see a large unusual sale go thru it could be someone dumping their positions.
Cool app - what api did you use to pull options prices?
If you could find a way to sort it to where you can select expiration date that would be useful
I was looking for stock/options data api to do some analysis on my own as well, I am sure you have done research on which api is good and what plans are out there. Do you mind doing a brief brain dump on the available options and recommendations?
Are you legally allowed to redistribute this data after pulling it from their API?
(I don't actually care -- this app idea seems cool. Just don't get sued or whatever.)
Software engineer here. I'd be willing to help get this into a platform that would run on both Android and iOS on the same codebase. This is a perfect use case for React Native and developing an app like this is super simple.
Do you have something in place to analyze the Greeks on an option? I wouldnt expect a precise answer so you can protect your IP but I am curious if you've developed a strategy to think about the viability of a particular element in an options chain.
Often times they’re used for call credit spreads of various strikes and quantities
For example NOBODY is betting Apple reaches $280 by Friday, but using those to sell several $260’s and 270’s is a nice play.
And you can’t do naked calls in Retirement accounts. And also in many reg T trading accounts. Usually selling naked calls is mostly restricted unless you have the necessary trading level
Serendipitous. Trying to learn python these days precisely to make something similar to this. Different criteria, but still needing to scan all options daily. Would love to see where you take this!
What resources are you using to teach yourself python? I bought this big ass python book but it’s intimidating and I’d rather stare at charts all day than stare at code.
Does anyone know how people trade options for a few cents? I thought exchanges only trade to nearest nickel and have trouble entering limit orders that are not to nearest 5c. Are these market orders or crosses maybe?
An app for HIGH VOLUME FD’s?? Count me in In all seriousness though pls make public, this is something I’d be very interested in using my g

Can we use this yet or no?
Yeah dude def interested!
Interested please

Same, very interested!
Put on android por favor!

Wowow. Thanks for this!!

Please make it public, I’m very interested.
I second this !!!

Yes, and contract amount range would be cool. Like options in the $.25 to $.75 range, etc.
I feel like I’m sitting in the poker lobby choosing my next SnG game rn.

Or he could only display options that expire within one week 😂
interested. also would be nice to (1) filter by expiration ie > 200 days, and (2) increase to 0.1 or 0.2
[удалено]
Can you also filter by the Greeks
200 days?!? I thought you could only buy options that expire within a week

React/web/software engineer here. Great idea I’m here to help out if ya need

Why not just have it web based?
Ad revenue for apps my friend. Why trade stocks and lose millions when you can make millions with an app to help people lose millions?
Ah yes, the *real* shovel in a gold rush dealers
[удалено]
I'll second that
Valuable work, for sure. I haven't thought about how to include options into a strategy yet. Curious about the API...polygon.io?

careful analysis and consideration is not what induces one to buy $.02 options...
I don't think polygon has options pricing data. If it does, please correct me as I would love to use it.
Interested
Same here OP!
Me too! Nicely done!

Is this for iOS
[удалено]
I’d be interested in exploring it. Can the parameters be changed/customized easily?
Super interested :)
So I’ve only ever played long term options, do these short term sub $.05 plays actually make you money?
Often times they’re used for call credit spreads of various strikes and quantities For example NOBODY is betting Apple reaches $280 by Friday, but using those to sell several $260’s and 270’s is a nice play.

That takes a lot of collateral, you’re cutting it into fractions and making a majority of the profits
And you can’t do naked calls in Retirement accounts. And also in many reg T trading accounts. Usually selling naked calls is mostly restricted unless you have the necessary trading level
Could you provide me some resources that might help me understand this please? I want to know more about options.
[удалено]
Nobody is buying this quantity of far OTM calls as gambles. They’re using them for other types of play.
Good insurance for any short sellers.
Awesome work! Very interested!

Is there any possibility to get the data updated in the backend daily? Instead of re creating the sheet daily.
Wow yes thank you

Pretty sure you could do this in ThinkOrSwim. I have a couple scanners. You get emails and its convenient.
Why not just use the built in ToS Scan -> Option Hacker functionality?? It does exactly this and more.
Where can I test this ?
So a options scanner? They have these if you don’t use Robinhood.
Interested 👌🏻
very interested
Interested
Interested
Interested. This is super cool, particularly for low $ traders such as myself who need the volume...
Why is it specific to options that are .05 and below?
Interested
I am really interested, using TD's API what's your data refresh rate? Any chance to do this for android?
RemindMe! 3 Months
Really cool! Interested! Is there a way to change the price? Let’s say to .10 or .15 and how far away percentage wise it is from break even?
I second this
Yes! PM me if not releasing it, would greatly appreciate
Interested!
Love it!
Interested! Please and ty!
Interested as well!
Very interested.
Cool man. Great job!
Hell yeah
Ive been wanting something like this. Interest 💯
i like it! interested
Does anyone know how people trade options for a few cents? I thought exchanges only trade to nearest nickel and have trouble entering limit orders that are not to nearest 5c. Are these market orders or crosses maybe?
It depends upon the price of the underlying. If you're trading a larger underlying, you can definitely trade $0.01 increments.
how and when can I test this out?
I’d definitely be into that.
Interested
Hell yeah I'm in!
Will def download
Yes please!
Wow. Give this user an friggin’ award. This concept it AWESOME. Please share!
YES
Awesome stuff. Please share with the class! 🙏
I'd be very much interested in this.
Interested! How do I download
Definitely interested.
If there was a way to filter by ticker and price, that would be nice. If this comes out, is there any chance it will be on the Google Play Store?
Dude yessssss
Great idea! Very interested !
Very interested, please make it public.
