About this template
@kirk and OA community,
A long time ago, on a OA version far far away, Kirk create this solid earnings bot meant to work on a single ticker. After placing in Paper Trading for quite some time, using various tickers, most of the clones were profitable, and some very profitable. So, letting a paper bot go live, I like to understand the workings under the hood....and OMG when I popped the hood on this bot :).
So, after taking the time to better understand this bot, I decided to re-write it in order to make it more readable. As you can see when cloning this template, most of the decision making in the scanner came from indications on what type of position to open. So instead of going through 20+ decisions, I set the primary indicators in each scanner and the 'master scanner' will decide the position type to open based on the bot tags.
In this version, I did decide to eliminate the email notifications and position tagging but now that it's more readable, one can certainly tailor this bot to include those items. Additionally, instead of having a thousand user inputs, I grouped items such as long leg amounts, deltas, etc...without getting rid of the normal or aggressive position opening. Finally, and this is tailored to me, based on other bot monitors that I use, I eliminated some of the creativeness in the monitor and simplified it to close a position if the long leg has been breached, or adjust the exit options based on DTE.
