New Trade Signals

We’ll prove that our new trade signals are incredible on Tuesday August 20th during a live online event. We’ll take symbol requests and you’ll see the buy, sell and exit arrows on the charts. If you can’t wait that long, take the two-week free trial and try them out now.

Trust is formed over time. The more you use our trade signals, the more you’ll trust them. Set global alerts for all of the stocks in one of our powerful searches with a few clicks. You can do the same for stocks that are in your watchlist or your custom searches. This is a very efficient way to trade. When one of the stocks has a new alert, you’ll see it in the alert window. The signals are timely and the stocks often perform right away giving you instant cushion. Once you’re in the trade, set an exit alert based on the trade signals. You’ll ride winners longer and you’ll exit losers earlier.

You’ll notice in our charts that the signals catch reversals beautifully. They are also “sticky” so they will keep you in trending stocks longer.

Don’t take our word for it, try out our new trade signals during the free trial or attend the live event.

Visit www.oneoption.com/release-notes for a complete list of updates.


New Alert Conditions

This update is the start of a larger project that integrates Custom Scanner variables, Table Column Options, and Alert Rules. We have started with several highly-requested values: Strength vs SPY, LRSI, Trade Signal, 1OVol, SMAs, and of course simple Price Alerts. These values, which are calculated on the server, are the same used as variables in the Custom Scanner. Now, you can create alerts with these values and use theme as columns in your Scanner, Watchlist and HUD tables. We will roll out more variables as the year goes on. Please let us know what you think!


Alerts can quickly be created for more than one symbol. Seen here is the Create New Alert window showing an alert being created for AAPL and MSFT. This alert will trigger when the variable Strength vs SPY goes from < 0 to > 0.

The T-> F Required checkbox allows you to set alerts even if the trigger rule is already TRUE. If it is checked, any TRUE alerts will not immediately trigger, and instead will wait for the rule to become FALSE and return to TRUE.

Multi-Rule Alerts

Alerts rules can be combined to create a single alert which triggers only when all the rules are TRUE. This advanced feature allows for fine-tuned alerts enhance your ability to find trades exactly when conditions align. 


This alert will trigger when AAPL is Strong vs SPY on the 5m chart, has a BUY signal on the 5m chart, and is above the daily SMA20.
Alert History

With so many new alerts, the popups can quickly become an annoyance. Instead, you can now view all your triggered alerts in a single panel. This panel will nest in your Workspace. There is an added benefit to this: Your triggered alert history is now easily visible so you won’t forget alerts that trigger!


Alert History shows triggered alert history. Click a symbol in this panel to open the chart.
Alert Console

The Alerts Console is a similar list that shows both Triggered and Open alerts. Here, you can Edit and Delete alerts. Right-Click Alert Console table area to remove alerts. You can select multiple rows at once using CTRL or Shift. Click the Settings button to adjust Alert Settings.


Create, Edit, and Delete alerts in the Alert Console. Columns are resizable, and you can sort the list by clicking Column Headers. (1) Right-Click rows to remove. (2) Use the gear icon to adjust global alert settings.
Extended Table Columns

The variables offered with Alerts are now also available as customizable table columns. Right-Click the table headers in Scanners, Watchlists, and Chart HUDs to edit columns and select Trade Signal (B/S), Strength vs SPY, LRSI and 1OVol for any timeframe and daily SMAs. You can save these columns with your Workspace. These columns reflect server values used for Custom Search and refresh every minute.


Customized columns are shown in the Chart HUDs, Scanner, and Watchlist. Use these columns to quickly scan lists of stocks for relevant criteria.
Quick Alert Creation

Right-Click any chart or table column to quickly create an alert. The New Alert Window will open pre-filled with the clicked symbol and variable. Right-Click the table headers to apply an alert to all symbols in a list.

Automated Trendlines

Pete has labored tirelessly the past few months to develop this feature. By back-engineering his decades of experience, he has created rules to auto-drawn trendlines in OSP and save traders time by vastly reducing the amount of trendlines required to manually draw. To use this feature, simply toggle between 1OTL Now and 1OTL Past at the bottom of the chart. Automated trendlines are applied to Daily Charts only. Read Pete’s article in The System, Automated Trendlines, for more information.

Select the 1OTL Now button at the bottom of the chart to show current trendlines on the daily timeframe.
New Preconfigured Scanners

The Scanners panel in OSP has been given a major overhaul. Enjoy new ways to scan for stocks with new Day and Swing Preconfigured Scanners. They include scans that use moving averages such as Golden Cross and Bullish SMA Cross, breakout-focused scans such as Breakout, Breakout Strong, and Breakout x2, and more. Visit the Glossary for scanner descriptions.

Chart Symbol Tagging

The tag list is a special watchlist that resets each day, and traders use it to track relevant stocks within the trading session. Previously, you could only tag stocks from Scanners or Watchlists using the Plus (+) icon. Now, you can also tag stocks straight from chart via Right-Click.

Chat Room

Top Symbols

The Top Symbols lists give users a new angle to analyze the chat room and incorporate its data into their trading regiment. These lists scan messages for SYMBOL links (using the style applied via the blue A button or preceded by “$”) and compiles a list of top-mentioned symbols in descending order. The results can be filtered to only include symbols accompanied by an entry badge. The counts for Long and Short entires are also included in green and red columns.

Updated Quotes

To streamline the chat room by reducing the amount of clutter and unnecessary blank space, we’ve streamlined quoted message in a couple of ways: (1) Quoted messages are reduced to text-only and only a short excerpt is included. (2) These messages are displayed in a single paragraph at the bottom of the newly composed message.

Workspace Save/Load

From the File menu, you can now ‘Save Workspace’ to save the charts, indicators and other settings currently present in your workspace layout. When ‘Auto-Load Workspace’ is checked, the most recently saved workspace will load at startup.

File menu accesses workspace functions
Intraday Price Lines

You can now display price levels for Previous Day High, Previous Day Low, and Daily SMA 20, 50, 100, and 200 on intraday charts. Simply Right-click the chart to apply.

Right-click>EOD Lines displays intraday price lines
New Study: Laguerre RSI (LRSI)

Apply the LRSI via ‘All Studies’ on a chart. Learn more about this indicator with this video.

LRSI oscillator is displayed above volume
New Study: Keybar

Apply Keybar via ‘1O Studies’ on a chart. A key bar has a greater than average ATR, a large body relative to the intraday range and better than average volume. Typically these bars resulted from a trend day that saw persistent buying/selling. They tend to continue in the direction, particularly if that candle coincides with a breakout above a trendline or a major moving average. When these candles reverse, it happens very quickly. If the open from that candle is reversed, the follow through in the opposite direction will last for at least a few days. When these candles appear at the extreme of a range, use extra caution and confirm the directional strength. Key bars are displayed as candlesticks without fill.

Keybars are outlined and not filled
Volume Bug Fix

User reported issues with volume bars becoming either unresponsive or inaccurate. Volume bars now reliably display correct volume across all APIs. Thank you for your feedback!

Persistent Trendlines

Trendlines now are saved on a chart. If you draw a trendline on ABC, change chart symbol to view stock XYZ, then return to view chart for ABC, the trendline you drew will remain. We hope to apply this across different timeframes in the future. Stay tuned!

Earnings Icons Visibility Toggle

Not only did we redesign the earnings icons (let us know if you prefer them larger!), but we also added the option to show/hide these icons on a chart. Simply Right-click chart to toggle earnings icon visibility.

Zoom Standardization

Some users reported chart zoom adjusting slightly when a chart symbol is changed. We made some changes to prevent this behavior. Now, chart zoom is fixed unchanged when switching symbols. This ensures that charts are aligned when stacked vertically, such as for comparison to SPY.

Standardized zoom allows stacked charts to display aligned candlesticks
Add Symbol To Watchlist Shortcut

There’s a new way to quickly add symbols to watchlist: Right-click charts and lists to bring up the dialogue and click ‘Add XXX to Watchlist…’ or ‘Append to List’.
