Best options software to calculate "what ifs"?

[a529612]

What options software allows you to calculate all the "what ifs" with a position in real time? I'm tired of calculating those out manually. Thanks!

Optionetics' Platinum does that.

TOS provides that for the account holders for free. u just adjust the price & date.

Seems a bit expensive.

- $3500 for the 2 day seminar
- $1000 for the software (I don't know for sure, I think I read that somewhere at ET.)
- $60/month for data service
- $500 for a new PC to run Windows (oh wait, it's probably more like $1000 to run Vista.)

Optionstar can instantly calculate "what ifs"
spread risk graphs in streaming real time with
an interactive brokers acct, or free delayed.

No subscription fees whatsoever.. only a
one time charge of $299 for the software.

"Optionetics" is a big business to make money.

Now there is better & lower price alternatives provided by TOS or others.

There's visual options, too, which I am planning to evaluate over the weekend.

A pretty good one is the Position Simulator at 888options.com

There are a few other free ones I've found online but so far I like that one and TOS.
