Visual Options
Analyzer (VOptions) is a powerful analysis tool for
development, testing, and application of stock and options
strategies. Its easy-to-use interface allows you to test new
strategies, manage a growing portfolio, and explore "what-if"
scenarios with ease. VOptions versatility and power make it
suitable for new, experienced, or advanced traders alike.
Visual Options Analyzer Features:
Advanced
Charting Capabilities
VOptions lets you make a thorough analysis of a trade before
you call your broker. The software provides powerful two and
three-dimensional charts for analyzing option strategies. The
3D Chart can simultaneously show the relationship between
stock price and expiration date versus profit/loss. You can
rotate the chart and zoom in on areas of interest. A "zone
view" is also provided that displays an overhead view of the
chart.
The 2D Chart is designed for dynamic analysis, complete with a
"Slider" that lets you vary parameters such as stock price,
volatility, days until expiration, and interest rate as well
as view the resulting effect on prices and profit/loss for
your portfolio. You can see how your trade will perform over a
range of projected prices.
Built-in Options Strategies
VOptions software has 32 of the most popular and effective
options strategies built-in. Just select a strategy and
VOptions will download options and stock data and generate
profit/loss charts for your inspection. You can then visually
evaluate the potential risks and return of a strategy.
Whenever you change strategies or vary parameters, such as
risk-free interest rate or stock volatility, the charts will
be redrawn immediately. This allows you to conduct easily a
"what-if" analysis of any particular strategy. You can use one
of three option pricing models: Black-Scholes, Binominal
European and Binominal American.
Automatic Data Download
VOptions downloads free options data from the CBOE (Chicago
Board Options Exchange) for virtually all options listed on
the CBOE, AMEX (American Stock Exchange), PHLX (Philadelphia
Stock Exchange), PCX or PSE (Pacific Stock Exchange), and ISE
(International Securities Exchange).
Advanced Capabilities
VOptions enables you to build your own or to modify built-in
strategies in two ways: by changing theoretical terms
(selecting ITM, ATM, or OTM options by steps, near-term or
long-term options, etc.), or by selecting option parameters
from lists of downloaded option quotes (option chains).
VOptions also lets you export your portfolio data and charts
directly into Microsoft Excel. This allows you to easily share
your portfolio information with colleagues and partners.
