If you're trading options and using MetaTrader 4, the Options Levels Indicator is a must-have tool for your trading arsenal. It helps you calculate and visualize the options levels right on your chart, making it easier to make informed decisions.

To get started, you can download the CME bulletin here: CME Daily Bulletin

Alternatively, you can access it directly from the FTP site: CME Bulletin FTP

Once you've got the indicator set up, simply fill in the input parameters to see the options levels displayed on your screen. The calculation of these levels is based on the following formulas:

  • Call: Strike/1000 + Premium * Multiplier
  • Put: Strike/1000 - Premium * Multiplier
