I worked on a fun project the past few days, and a new module added to our stock terminal.
The issue: A few times a year there's a major market-wide movement (think: 90 day tariff pause, "Trump: time to buy stocks," etc..) - one of the most convex payouts in these situations is with same-day (0dte) SPX options.
Traditional interfaces (IBKR, Schwab, etc) are not set up for scalping these options unless you've already selected a contract, pinned it on your watchlist, and keep it updated throughout the day as the market moves.
The manual alternative is immediately opening the options chain on news, searching SPX, waiting for it to load (add a few seconds if it's volatile), picking a strike, and marketing in. In most cases it's better to just slam your stock shortcuts, which trad brokers do support (eg: long SPXL, TQQQ, levered indices) - if you're really looking to get in ASAP. What you make up for in speed, you lose in these extreme r/r profiles.
We've had options shortcuts for a while in our terminal, for single-ticker news:
What I wanted was a module for SPX (and other indices) that would solve every part of this - automatic contract selection based on options Greeks, automatic sizing based on the ask price, and automatic rotation to optimal contracts as price moves - all without any user input.
I've also realized this isn't something I want sitting on my screen every day if I'm only going to use it a handful of times a year. In addition to implementing a fleshed out shortcut panel in the terminal UI -- we've also added plug & play Streamdeck support:
The new shortcut panel with StreamDeck support is not limited to SPX options, but that's my use case: a physical device on my desk where I can ape into SPX 0dte calls or puts with a single press:
This will be released in our terminal build next week. Below are some examples of SPX 0dte movers with recent headlines that moved the whole market, thanks for reading!
