Hi,
I'm using options as part of my over all investment portfolio
but find it complicated simply to track. For example,
instead of buying a stock, I'll do either long a call, short a put,
buying the position, or combination (complicated). To track it,
I need to record trading date, strike price, expiration date,
position size etc.. I need to track when my position expires,
the current values etc.. on a daily basis to make trading decision,
if ther is any.
Currently I write my own spreadsheet. Each trade
requires tens of keystrokes to record. Although it is very
flexibile (I could do whatever I want), it is a bit time consuming.
I have looked around to find a proper trading software that
might fit my need, but haven't got good luck. The closest I
found is "OTrader". However, it is way too complicated to set
up and hard to make it update price automatically. PSM (Personal Stock Monitor) is a good stock investment software,
but doesn't handle option specific parameters (strike, expiration date, type, forget about analysis).
Does anyone have recommendation on the software you use
to track option trading ?
Many thanks !!
