Option Scanner by Claude (Python, GitHub) Open-source Python Option Scanner with Claude Code on GitHub. It helps you find the best options to sell or buy — covered calls, cash-secured puts, rolls, and more. It runs as a web app on your own laptop, pulls option chains from Yahoo Finance, and ranks every option by how overpriced or underpriced it is relative to a fitted volatility surface. #options #coveredcalls #python #claudecode #optionstrading #github #leaps #stockmarket #investing #cashsecuredputs Green dots on the chart mean rich premium worth selling; red dots mean cheap premium worth buying. The tables below let you pick your strike with row shading that matches the chart colors. **What it does:** - Volatility-surface chart — every option as a dot, green = attractive, red = unattractive, sized by IV excess - Per-expiration chain view sorted by strike with IV+pp row shading — see the whole chain at a glance - Top candidates table ranked across all expirations - Yellow cell highlights flag wide spreads, low OI, and low volume so you spot execution risk before acting - Earnings date shown in the chain title with days-to-go count - Roll mode — enter your current position, see net credit for every roll candidate - Portfolio scan — drag in your brokerage CSV (Schwab, Robinhood, Fidelity, or Merrill) and scan every open position - Buy mode — flips the ranking to find underpriced options - Filters: delta range, min OI, min/max DTE - HTML report download for sharing or saving **Data source:** Yahoo Finance — free, no account or API key needed. IV can be stale on thinly traded strikes, and Greeks are computed from Black-Scholes. Treat the output as a starting point for research, not a trading signal on its own. Always verify on your broker before acting. **What you need:** - Python 3.12+ - uv (free, one-command install) - The repo (free on GitHub, link below) - Optional: a brokerage CSV export for the portfolio scan **Links:** GitHub repo: https://github.com/medloh/stockpile New discord community: https://discord.gg/ct4QyPtzcU Claude Code: https://claude.ai/code Previous episode (Google Sheets tracker): https://youtu.be/9uf3cyOWPBQ?si=7zstAoL_S4fxIMKm Previous episode (cost basis charts): https://youtu.be/LqroeMNC7AU?si=sV7y2-UHcXdLc_YI Your brokerage CSV is processed locally and never leaves your machine. This tool only calls Yahoo Finance's public API — no accounts, no keys, no data sent anywhere. Not financial advice. Options trading involves substantial risk. Do your own research.
