Welcome to One Dollar Bob - Something Affordable For Everyone!
The first project on this page is The Intraday Options Scalper. You can track the intraday motion front-week option chain for a dozen popular stocks, going back to March 2011, and utilize hands-on analysis tools to chart and visualize the data to help you maximize your understanding (and hopefully, profit) from these magical instruments!
The Intraday Options Scalper stores the Price, Volume, Open Interest, and Best Bid and Offer of the front-week options contracts for a baker's dozen popular stocks, and stores this information to help you analyze day trades on historical data. Testing backtrades is a popular way to validate your strategies, and the dearth of intraday options data has been frustrating to those of us who, say, want to know more about trading butterflies on the Friday of expiration week on the same day that the stock reported earnings. This site has been helped to fulfill the need of an eager developer to do intraday backtrade testing, and we hope you find it useful too!
