I posted the link above. Also here:

I get it. For multiple trade lines I need to do it myself.

I took a look at that thread. There are lots of strategy screeners out there that show one position/strategy at a time. The reason I'm pursuing the "multiple P/Ls on a single chart" theme is because I trade bio and there are often large, predictable moves. Right now with IBRX I've positioned...

Nice. Your work? Can you place multiple trades on the same chart? Also, any ideas on how I can get pricing data in a copy/paste or import way rather than typing manually?

That was done in GS and does any number of comparisons. It was so easy to do I don't know why TOS does have checkboxes or something next to each position. You could compare different trades or even sets of trades in the same chart. Anyway, I'll keep building out my DIY version until I find a...

This seems like such an obvious tool (of course there are many, many other ones) perhaps I'll turn it into a web app and put it online. Will think about it.

I'd rather hear: "But there is a way better tool for free download at xyz.com"!

I created this spreadsheet because AFAIK thinkorswim does not let you graph multiple positions on separate line in a single chart. Couldn't find one online either. There is probably a tool out there but I just can't find it. Anyway, here's my attempt:

I do have a naked short volume chart here: https://www.nakedshortreport.com/company/IBRX

Is anyone aware of a website the provides a graph of short data rather than a list/table? If not, I could get the data via an API and do it myself. Perhaps fintel? Just started investigating so tips appreciated.

You're a waste of time. Go somewhere where you are willing to actually engage the question and quit cluttering up the forum.

Thanks for the derogatory and waste of time response. The 95% is a real number reflecting the number of Fast Tracked and Orphan Designation drugs that FDA approves if the drug makes it to PFUDA. So that's a fact. As mentioned above, the founder is an insider and already owns 80%. Retail...

IBRX is undergoing a radical price decline and posters have offered various theories. Most of those fall in the black helicopter theory bucket, so I'm looking for some good guesses from experience traders. Context: IBRX has an incredible number of trials with positive results as well as a...

I still have to vet these formulas with some simulated trades. The Return is calculated manually since there maybe rolls or other aspects of the trade that affect that value. But assuming you have that number, here's what I have so far.

thanks. Comparing to a buy and hold scenario is a worthwhile analysis. One point though: For #1, isn't the profit: Called price - cost basis + premium? If you sell an option at a 5 strike and the stock cost you 4.90 and the premium was .10, then 5-4.90+.10 = .20 Or is that what you said?

The second option is how I choose the trade. I usually choose trades that net me 5%+ if the stock gets called in 30 days ( e.g. sell 5.00 call @ 11 when BCRX is 4.80 means I'd make 6.4% in a month if the stock is called). Maybe that's the way to go. However, I'll peruse the margin doc some more...

Well it's unreasonable to think the stock would go to zero. A logical range would reflect real world price movements. On high IV biotech, I've seen -80% and plus 110%, but most stock moves 5-10%. When dealing with 20-30 trades per month, I need to choose some baseline if I go this route. . .

I've been writing a number of JS charts to graph my trading performance, and I'd like to calculate my annualized return performance by week. That is, if I make 5% on a trade in a month, that's about 218% per year. Of course, losses magnify the same way. If I buy options or stocks, calculating...

Let me phrase it a different way: My decisions tend to be situationally ad-hoc. That is, based on news, market trend, price, forum posts, how many cups of coffee I've had, etc. I'm trying to devise some objective way to compare trades with one another. The "way" might be subjective, but the...

I think I hear an echo in the room. BTW, Walmart turned down my application so I decided to become a trader instead. The blue vest clashed with my red suspenders anyway.
