Equity Options Query with AmiBroker and IB Gateway

AFL Programming
#1

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

I’m looking to develop an equity option query at the time of the signal for any strategy.
The dll should be able to be called from within whatever strategy is used.
I’m looking to have a query of the correct equity option take place at the time of each signal.
Correct equals choice of input parameters (distance of strike from price, and range of days to expiration)

Long Entry - Buy Call To Open - Based on query of the correct option at the time of the signal
Long Exit - Sell Call to Exit - Based on query of the correct option at the time of the signal
Short Entry - Buy Put to Open - Based on query of the correct option at the time of the signal
Short Exit - Sell Put to Exit - Based on query of the correct option at the time of the signal
Never - Sell a Call or Put to Open

@tedpenner Why do you create two topics on the same subject one after another?

One thread is not enough for you?

I know that AmiBroker is a multi-threaded application, but this is clearly overkill :wink:

I don’t exactly see that but I appreciate your thoughts.

First you create a topic in which you write (I quote): “I would like to find an AMIBroker Coder to help me with strategy development and coding”. You get two replies and an hour later you create this topic in which you are looking for someone to write a dll for you … Is this a coincidence ? :wink:

Correct. I see a significant difference. I do need to hire someone to help me and have contacted everyone individually that said they could help. The last person, I contacted I pointed to this thread. I’m simply trying to get some progress here. I’m sorry if you don’t like the way I went about it. If you have something helpful to offer, feel free to contact me. I greatly appreciate any assistance possible with this very specific goal.
