KimSam NT8 GEX Calc

[axsx]

 

SPY chart and connect symbol is blank, price multiplier is 1 and offset is 0.    convert = yes in dashboard (maybe it has to be NO)

NQ chart and connect symbol is blank. Rest defaults (price multiplier is 10 defaults).    Truth engine uses QQQ to get option chain and convert, but spot price is wrong in dashboard.  I dont see the put and call and flip etc.

nq chart with connect symbok $NDX ; price multiplier is 1 offset is 0.   

[axsx]

I think one important decision to make is For nq and es futures we have to do autoconvert, the symbols to be used are SPY and QQQ.   For any other instrument,  we have to use it directly in schawab to see if we get the option chain,  if not we have to map to a closet ETF option chain stored in a internal table/array.  this is with no autoconvert flag in the NT indicator parameters.  Giving price multiplier and offset without autoconvert flag will be misleading.  all thee or none imo.

@kimsam  SPX charts with old and new versions.   Old version works perfectly, schwab fetches SPX option chain ( I think it is not fetching spy, you can verify in code).   The new version, auto convert is false,  price multiplier is 1,  connect symbol is SPX.   The fetch of SPX fails.   Can you check why ? my guess is due to return code of 400,  the API call in the latest version of code might have an issue.  I checked with NQ similarly,  I see the same issue.   NDX also same issue.

My account is approved.

Can anyone help me? I've entered my API key and secret key. I'm using the new Kim Sam Gex.cs indicator, but no data is coming in. How can I check this?

You mean the old one SchwabConnector.cs ? That one give me compile error NetMQ

[Predict]

I think we should add new file which with clear description. To many files we have.
 

1. Do we need to change always TCP Port if yes why if not what is the standard port

2. Connect Sym: leave blank or not

3. Do we have to use the indicator on Future Contract ?

I really don’t know why it won’t work.

Thanks for sharing a good website.  They have lots of information on GEX. The NT script that can be downloaded from this site can be used with manual pull of GEX levels off course it is either end of day or delayed by a day. Subscription is needed for this for any other use.

Could you provide better instructions and working file from kimsam gex indicator? I try to get it working. I setup everything correctly.

[Predict]

Are there any updates? My one still not working.

Install the python and all packages in the requirements.txt file,  Get Schwab API key, secret and ensure the call back url is correct. This one is the difficult of all the things and just follow schwab link and documentation shared by kimsam.  Now add the indicator shared by kimsam and ensure the parameters are correctly configured/filled.  It will work like a charm.  Do do this all some experience with python is required to trouble shoot in case some issue.

Reauthentication of keys :  kimsam has provided a reauth py script, use it.  First you have to make sure follow his instructions on setting up the env file with the API key, secret and callback URL.   then  run the py script without any arguments, it will open a browser to authenticate, once done you will get a redirect failed weblink, copy the url and paste back to the py terminal, it will get authenticated and token will be created. Usually the token good for a week.

I fixed the indicator publisher.py today because of a programming error with . and , ! 
 

def main():
    if len(sys.argv) < 3: return
    symbol = sys.argv[1].upper()
    current_p = float(str(sys.argv[2]).strip().replace(",", "."))
    port = int(str(sys.argv[3]).strip().replace(",", ".")) if len(sys.argv) > 3 else 5600
    update_mins = int(float(str(sys.argv[4]).strip().replace(",", "."))) if len(sys.argv) > 4 else 3

i am not sure if the converted levels are correct. I prefer realtime updates in seconds if you can add that functionality . 
 

Maybe you can add

Gamma 0dte major long and short

major positive by volume

major negative by volume 

 

good job kimsam thanks

[axsx]

can you explain significance of major positive by volume and major negative by volume ?

What do they represent ?
