Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

Options Short Ladder (Auto) reads weekly, daily, 4h and 1h trend bias and moves a status through wait, armed, valid and invalid based on price distance to the near band and a break of recent highs or lows. It also estimates model option strikes from an implied volatility source and a delta range. Read-only: it plots and alerts but never trades.
