Filtering flag for whether options exist for a given stock

Hi

Is there a flag that filters out the companies that have options? There used to be one but I cant seem to be able to get this to work anymore. Any help is appreciated.

thanks

I originally was disappointed that it didn’t work. When I tried to do it on my own, I ran into several issues:

• I needed to know whether it had weekly options or not, not just options in general.

• I needed to know how liquid the options were on the option. It didn’t do any good to find stocks with options that had huge bid/ask spreads, or where the last traded price is from a week ago.

• I started to get into criteria related to the options only. Any backtesting would need volume, open interest, bid/ask prices, and maybe a few greeks.

In the end, I decided just an options flag was relatively useless. In terms of screening only, it might be easier to create a custom universe, or a number of Ticker() statements.
