If you check Allow signal override next to the option contract settings, then contract fields in your webhook (when present) override the settings saved on the strategy or subscription. Here is an example payload that will override the strategy settings and scan for options with the following criteria.
Checking the global Allow signal overrides automatically checks every per-field Allow signal override checkbox (including the one next to the option contract settings), so contract fields are honored.
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "buy",
"intrinsicValue": "itm",
"expiration": "+6 months",
"optionType": "call",
"strikeCount": 12,
"strikesAway": 2
}
Or send the exact contract you want to trade instead of using the option chain scanning functionality.
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "buy",
"expiration": "2023-01-20",
"optionType": "call",
"strikePrice": 325
}
Or send the full option contract symbol in the ticker parameter.
{
"ticker": "AAPL 230120C325",
