As an FYI - I have had ONE running on my M1 Mac in the 32 bit mode months ago, but if you have more than 5-7 trades open, it just chokes. The developers suggest the 64 bit version, but it does not yet run on the M1.

Tom - Wishing you/Gabby the best on the surgery today!

RJM - I think where things might be different than what you are expecting in your notes above is that I believe that after-hours quotes are not based on closing prices, but based on the Bid/Ask at closing which can sometimes be quite different and give some unexpected results from time to time...

Just an FYI on WHY it is important to make sure you have your actual Leg Fills in your software: SJG: Make sure you are aware of THIS: https://www.loom.com/share/c8ff2883a8704c12960897cc5bc6c201

It is a free 30-day trial to check it out, and then a fee comparable to the other platforms. I think the KEYS for me are: 1) It connects directly to the broker, so no manual entry or copy/paste 2) It is platform agnostic and works on my Mac, Tablet and Phone 3) As an educator - I can lay out a...

I am not certain I understand the question. If the question is - does an open position in OTA mirror the general P&L and metrics of the same trade in other programs - YES, in my experience so far it does. The ONLY caveat I might add to that is that since other programs are not capturing the...

I am not proposing totally dropping any other software right out of the gate, but just to consider what I am doing which is running this side by side with my current software (since it is a totally FREE trial) and see what you think. At present, there is no charting but given it is...

Yes chuck, there are lots of features I did not show, but they are shown in the video and YES, you can go out in time and/or modify IV to see changes in the T0 line as shown in the image below - I don't think it currently has multiple T0 lines, but he is pretty responsive to requests - so we can...

Hello All - I have been playing with a tool that could largely replace OptionVue in my world and I was able to negotiate a 30-day FREE trial (no CC or payment info needed) and I did a brief video showing the software as well. CHECK THIS OUT! YOU get a 30-day free trial AND get to skip the wait...

No problem Amy - any time. The option Dave suggested above for $230 seems like a great one in my mind.

Dave - this looks like a great alternative - thanks for sharing!

Yes, Amy, I tried 3-4 others as well that were lower priced and could not get any of them to work in what I considered a reasonable way. One of the ongoing challenges I had was that I use a larger monitor and anytime I would try to display a range of positions (P&L Diagrams) on the larger...

Amy - I personally did not find AWS to be easy or intuitive to set up - it was a nightmare and I gave up on it. It was also expensive in my mind at about $60/month. I ended up just buying a cheaper PC and remote desktopping into it from the Mac and it actually works great and is a pretty cheap...

I would have to say the verdict is still out for me. I really like the product, but at least with SPX (and possibly stock options), the pricing is delayed by about 15 minutes. That said, when I am trading SPX strikes that are out 15m - 90 days, that really won't make a difference. The one...

If you have not traded calendars before and are "experimenting" I would suggest a paper trade, OR if you are like me and just don't pay attention or treat a real-time or live paper trade the same as a live trade - maybe trade SPY instead of SPX to keep it very small. As far as my strike...

This calendar is still alive and doing OK so far - I little pullback or even stabilization at these higher levels would do great things for it - while a continued, aggressive up move from here would be problematic. I have an opinion that there is a better 50% chance that the 4,000 area might...

I wanted to share this video on some things that ALL options traders should always be aware of - essentially disciplining yourself to look at parts of your options trades that if removed, could set you up for HIGH VALUE days!

Dave - as you already noticed and commented, for class purposes, I tend to stick to 50/50 and 50/60 in widths. I can't say there is a very specific reason for this other than it helps people to familiarize themselves with pricing in that range so that they can have a sense of a good/bad price...

Thanks Dave - that is my goal with my class. I want students to see all of the considerations and what I am looking at and then they can make their own decisions based on how they feel about my assessments. I provide the same type of explanation on exits as well. Here is a new trade I put on...
