    Hi,

    I have a few scanners on TWS, and they return me a large universe of stocks. I trade options only and mostly on stocks that have weeklies. Is there a way on TWS to scan for only these stocks only?

    Doing an 'Edit Scan' and looking under 'Add Field' shows a lot of choices for Options, but none that meet my criteria.

    Use the Finviz screener. They don't fully meet what you are looking for, but you can screen for optionable stocks (Among other criteria), no filter to scan for those stocks with weeklies, but that's much better than nothing at IB.

    Barchart screener is good as well (Has the same filter, to get results having options only), but the free version of the Finviz screener is way better than Barchart.

  3. I was looking at scanners for crazy unusual activity on TWS, does IB have it?
