Periodicity
Daily

Elements
OP: Open
CL: Close
HI: High
LO: Low

Explanation
This scan is based on the TD Fib Range indicator described in Thomas DeMark's book DeMark on Daytrading Options.  The signal below searches for call option entry opportunities by examining the data of the underlying instruments.  It should be run on a quotepage of underlying instruments for options you've selected.  It should also be run on a period of daily shortly after the open.  It only requires the opening price of the current day, along with some historical data for the previous 5 days, so once the opening prices are established for you underlying symbols, you are ready to run the scan.  And it only needs to be run once a day in search of call buying opportunities at the open.  If a symbol meets the scan criteria, it is recommended that you examine in-the-money call options near expiration for buying opportunities.  Use TD%F or TD Dollar-Weighted Put-Call on the options to confirm buying opportunities.

Signal
