Hi, community!
I love this project, but I was not able to find any relevant tutorials about options trading, so I decided to do it by myself. The underlying idea is pretty simple, but I stuck in realization. I want to buy a call or put at the begging of each week based on the moving average of TLT, then on each Thursday close all options positions, because I don't want to exercise them and sell it with their theta. I've got a pretty strange error:
Runtime Error: In Scheduled Event 'Monday: SPY: 120 min after MarketOpen', IndexError : list index out of range at OpenPosition in main.py:line 99 IndexError : list index out of rangeCan someone help me to find where an error is?

Hello Илья,
I think the problems are two:
1- Weekly options are created on thursdays and expire next friday, I think your filter 4 to 7 will return always 0 option contracts, it can be made 3 to 7 as it is 4 days until expiration.
2- The scheduled events for suscribing to the option and operating with the option have to be separate, otherwise the contract will not have received a single price.
Maybe this helps you a little bit:
