Strategy Field

Use signal contract

If you check the Use signal contract checkbox, then the contract settings in your webhook will be used and will override the settings defined in your strategy. Here is an example payload that will override the strategy settings and scan for options with the following criteria.

{
    "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",
    "action": "buy"
}
