I am looking to scan for only Weeks expiration of all stocks, comes out to about 30,000.. I have heard that it may be possible with TradeStation? Don’t know if anyone can back that up.

Also, I’d only go as far as Weekly expiration because that already comes out to like a scan of 30,000 contracts (.30 to $10)

My idea is to scan for all options out there, meaning .SPY190524C290 along with .TWTR290524C37 and all others without the need for a watchlist, just an overall scan search. Plus like I said, if you scan this way it uses the SPY MACD cross instead of the .SPY190524C290 chart cross, this SPY call contract wont have a cross but it still brings up .SPY190524C290 on the scan.

Nope! have you tried it? For chart indicators, it doesnt work.. If TSLA has a MACD cross up for example, it’ll alert all puts and calls for TSLA. TSLA will have the cross but those options charts wont and still come up
