Just so we're on the same page, I have used simultaneous ratioed CRB's for earnings plays. I see them referred to as double diagonals and calendar stangles/straddles. I don't care what you call them as long as we're talking about the same beast. :) They can be standard (sell near month)...

If given the IV and other pricing inputs, can you determine the theoretical values in Optionvue for various options?

ET participants must be rushing in droves to hire you as a mentor. Retiring again? I've heard that from you so many times that I feel like Linda Blair (head spinning)

And you keep coming back to this stupid, senseless, useless forum why?

Details are irrelevant when it comes to the YEH BUT defense.

I think that there are far more competent people than me here who might have software recommendations for you. However, I sincerely doubt that Optionvue will let you down if you get your timing and selection right.

Is it possible that 2 people out of everyone here could be right? What are the odds??? You could really distort the odds by setting up some bogus handles. I know a poor factory worker over on Yahoo who'd be willing to help you out!

I'm sure that it is greatly improved since I looked at it more than a decade ago. However, one of my informants demo-ed it last year and told me that it's not what I want :)

Thanks for performance possibilities of a calendar spread (horizontal). It might be helpful if you tuned into what the discussion has been about for the past 3 pages. Perhaps even look at the attachment provided by pengw on page 6 which is a calendar ratio backspread (which might be one of...

Yes, I used Optionvue a long time ago.

Look harder. Think harder. Be the best that you can be. Hint: Save your thoughts. Look a few chapters ahead and read what McMillan has to say under Put Option Basics (how put and call option strategies are opposite in nature).

Hey! I'm honored that your once a month post was a reply to me :D Looking for nirvana? Hardly. I need something for the newest cadre of software moochers :p

WOW, you really got me with that incisive analysis

Options are complex so there's no short answer. But I'll try :) Each option strategy has a somewhat unique risk/reward profile. Apart from utilizing those that are in your comfort zone, you also need to use those that fit your ability. If you're good at picking 5-10 pt moves, you want...

When you're bullish, you like OTM put calendars and ITM call calendars?

thanks, I get it. Does it draw multiple graphs on the same screen depicting the effect of passage of time (decay) ending with an expiration curve?

Sorry but you are wrong. There are earnings set ups where the IV contraction in the front month results in a profit despite the loss of the back month. And even with more long legs than short.

Peng, Does your rogram have the ability to select a post EA IV number for each month, independent of each other?
