Scanner search

Discussion in 'Options' started by Kirribilli, Aug 10, 2013.

  1. Looking for a reasonbly priced (read: retail) scanner that looks for option spreads on futures, specifically something that can pull and rank promising condors and condors on ES, NQ, VIX, et al. Don't believe iVolatility does this (I have an e-mail in to them). Wondering if anyone else does. Thanks in advance.

    ThinkOrSwim has a neat-looking thing they call Spread Hacker -- I trade on IB and built the same thing, but it requires snap-shot .csv scrapes from Quote Monitor pages -- which involves a "delay" of 2-3 minutes while you're importing data.
     
  3. Thanks, I forgot to check them out. Btw, I'm on IB, too. You going to make your system/scanner available under freelance tools?

    "Freelance tools"? Is that an ET tab somewhere? (I'm not a regular visitor, if you can't tell from my post count)....
