Option Sheet Strike Filter
Feature Overview
The T4 Desktop now includes new configuration options that allow you to control which strikes are displayed on an option sheet. These tools give you the flexibility to tailor option sheets to your trading style and focus only on the strikes that matter most.
Key Features
- Highest Strike Display: Set the maximum strike price to be shown on the option sheet for the selected underlying.
- Lowest Strike Display: Set the minimum strike price to be shown on the option sheet for the selected underlying.
- Strike Multiple Whitelist: Define a comma-separated whitelist of strike price multiples (e.g., 25,10).
- If you enter 25, all strikes that are multiples of 25 will display (e.g., 25, 50, 75, 100).
- If you enter 25,10, all strikes that are multiples of either 10 or 25 will appear, meaning you’ll see both sets of strikes (10, 20, 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, etc.).
How It Works
- In the option sheet settings, configure the highest and lowest strike values for the group’s underlying.
- Add one or more values in the Strike Multiple Whitelist field.
- The option sheet will update to reflect your chosen parameters, displaying only the strikes within your defined range and matching your whitelist multiples.
- These settings apply across every option sheet in the window that uses the same underlying contract.
- You can save your setup as a default for future windows. If not set, a new window will default to displaying all strikes.
- To reset, simply delete your values and the option sheet will return to showing the lowest and highest listed strikes.
Use Cases
- Focused Trading: Narrow your view to a relevant strike range to reduce noise and distraction.
- Custom Strike Patterns: Create a view tailored to your trading strategy (e.g., only multiples of 25).
- Team Consistency: Apply consistent strike filters across all option sheets tied to the same underlying.
- Quick Reset: Easily revert to full strike lists by clearing the fields.
