Hi, I'm new here.

Here's what I try to do. 

1. I only trade on the 4th Monday of the month

2. I only look at the monthly contract, to be exact 1 month from now, and at the beginning of the hour (not by the minute)

3. I want to get strike price between 0.9*price and 1.1*price

 

I wonder what is the best way to do it. I have the following code. Even though my start date is 2015/8/24, but I found the program start on 2015/9/14, not sure why.

 

Thanks.

Dan
