The standard expiration for all options is third Friday of each month [1]. VIX is an exception.
[1] Some of the heavily traded securities have weekly Friday expirations in addition to their third Friday. SPY and SPX, being the most traded ETF in the world has expirations every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Can somebody tweak this so it makes mores sense to me?
I don't understand some parts of this filter at all.
As one example, why would these be the same?
"buycross > -1
sellcross > -1"
The buy cross and the sell cross are both > -1?
Why would that be?
Edit:
BTW, I'm the idiot here.
To give credit where credit is due ...
This is xarlor's filter, not mine.

karen, setting a count variable to > -1 is a coding trick I use. It allows the tickers in the symlist to display with little tick counters at the bottom when those conditions are met through the history of the stock. If you set them to > 0, then the stocks would not show up unless the conditions were met on that exact same day.
It's simply a good way to visualize when past buy orders and sell orders occurred and how they would have played out.

just a quick note to xarlor and karen,
It seems to me that the Dec 18 and Dec 21, 2019 filters posted above have a typo,
and the buy and sell rules are reverse.
