Quote from guy990opl:
Again,
talking trash about a company "they screw people over or their are sharks" says nothing about options software, which the topic of this thread.
A bad costumer service does not necessarely mean that they have a bad product...did you even tried it ?
If you did and you don't like it then you should explain why, instead of focusing on other posters experience with the company, and assuming that bad costumer services equals to a to a bad product.
If you did try such software I would be very interested in hearing your opinion, because so far you wrote a bunch of posts, but NEVER said anything relevant about options software whatever it is Platinum, TOS or OV.
Do you see my point now ?
Here is my opinion for now...
Platinum is not as expensive as OV, however there are many talking about TOS offering a really nice platform for free
It is web-based, a good thing I would think.
Now someone before was talking about OV as having an edge because one can manage delta with all holdings.
It makes me think that OV is more advanced and maybe more appropiate for the costs and the analysis depth to a real professional trader since both softwares have risk graphs, what ifs and backtesting features.
My main strategy is selling naked puts on stocks that I would not mind to have in my portfolio if assigned, ex I am about to be assigned 2600 shares of NMX since my strike price was $ 100...and it just closed at $ 97, so maybe I do not need to constantely manage my delta.
I would welcome any opinions and thoughts of people who are mostly trading options, but it sounds like it comes down to what fits one best. The software is just a tool so it is only as good as the trader using it.
Doesn't change my POV. As any trader worth his salt would know, the context is just as important as the data you are analyzing. I am providing context to your "questions" and "research".
I checked it out, it was not worth it, especially when you can have access to ToS's software free...or something like OptionStar which is a hell of a lot cheaper and very functional.
I'm no options expert, but I'm also no dumbass. I know if something is quality or not.
If you weren't taking up for the company so vehemently maybe you'd realize what I was saying. I am not even arguing with you, I am making points for someone who is actually open minded to consider.
I already know your mind is made up as far as defending Platinum or whatever it is. Not trying to sway you, I am sure you get the software free anyway- again, just providing context.
P.S. If you truly don't care about the company and have no affiliations with them, I would suggest stepping aside on this for a while. After all, what do you care what anyone thinks about an options analysis platform? If you continue to fight for their cause and you are in fact part of their sales team...I WILL pull you into the light, Carol Ann. ( By the way, you are already three for three on the shill checklist for 1. generic, hasty handle, 2. bad grammar, and 3. explosive outbursts to those who don't praise the product you are "researching")
