Hi, would it be possible to scan for liquid stock options? Like if the underlying has a tight bid / ask in the options.

Thanks.

Thinkorswim provides a scanner for stocks: “Stock Hacker” and it provides a scanner for options: “Options Hacker”

You cannot scan for stocks that have specific conditions present in their options. When you scan for stocks, you can only scan for conditions present for the stocks themselves.

You cannot scan for options, and have it return a set of stocks.

In summary, it is not possible to build a scan that returns a list of stocks which have “tight” spreads on their options.
