I'm attempting to paraphrase what (i think) Joe is saying here, which i interpret to be that he would like to filter based on Dividend Yield > 0.0 (sure, that's easy enough) AND also on the list of stocks that are optionable. Do we have that data available, i.e. stock is optionable (i.e. has options = yes/no). If so how do we access the "has options = yes/no" info? Joe, hope this helps you in what you are trying to do! Cheers.

Esteemed mr Morland
what i mean : find a good div stock - lets say ,OZM, ( hope u get the joke)
i wana buy it just to qualify for div , i think thats 3 weeks ahead of schedules div distribution .
now i set a option strategy - lets say condor .... whats the risk / reward ?
what other strategy out the main 4 would be best for this specific event ? ,,,
whats the probability of not losing ?
i think it should be close to none ,,,,
lets run a back test ...
thnk u ,,,

Hi @joe peeer, well aren't you a bit late for this options play on OZM (went ex-div 10th Aug, div pay date 20th Nov), however anyway Quantopian doesn't model options, so you will have to back-test options strategies on some other platform. If you find a probability of not losing that is really "close to none", then best of luck!

Mr Moreland ur great
how bout ,,, we track pre market and after market- biggest movers .
any correlation between that and stock price at intervals.
Example - CALL does more the 10% on premarket
where is it at 9:19 at 12:12 and 15:51
any patterns emerge ?

hmmmmm.... Magic Jack you say ..... volume > 50x normal & price up 46% since yesterday, looks like you have an interesting system there...

help me write the macros
sift every thing from 8-9 am that jumps above 10 % with good volume
and see the trend as it progresses through out the day ....at the times mentioned ...
