Apply stock filter in Option Hacker scan

Ok, so in Thinkorswim we call this a "filter". So you want to be able to add filters to the Option Hacker screen? Those are available. HOWEVER: They are only applied to individual options contracts and not the underlying stock. In Thinkorswim, the scan functionality for Stock symbols and Options are completely separated. In almost all cases there is no way to work around this barrier.

One method is to create your filters on the Stock Hacker tool. Then save that scan. You can then use that saved scan as a top level filter for the Option Hacker scan. See the screenshot below for an example. This will cause the Option Hacker screen to filter its results based on the Stock Hacker saved scan named "_Filtered_Stocks".

If this does the trick I let me know so I can update your question's title to something that works better for other folks that are searching for this same issue. Such as "How to apply stock level filters in Option Hacker"

After receiving feedback from the author of this post I decided to spend some significant time playing around with these scans to see how I might make this work. For some unknown reason the idea I proposed in the first answer does not work. It works for Stock Hacker scans, which I have done in the past. But for whatever reason it does not work for Option Hacker scans.

The screenshot below shows the Stock Hacker scan on the left and the Option Hacker scan on the right. You can see data for only one ticker symbol is returned for each. As it turns out, the Option Hacker scan has filters specifically for the underlying stock. So if you have certain filter criteria you typically apply in Stock Hacker, those same criteria can be easily applied in Option Hacker.

Screenshot below shows the results. This is a very simplistic example. But it does show how the setup for the filters is exactly the same on both (I've added drawings to indicate the various fields I used).
