A build for Apple Silicon has been created; you can try it out. One feature isn't working yet - the Order Control panel needs to be redesigned for Mac. I'll work on it and have it done by the end of the week. It's not the most important feature, but the basic functionality works. Give it a try!

Currently only for PC, maybe I'll add Mac in the future

Does it work with Mac OS?

Hey everyone! I've been using OptionVue and later ONE for a long time. They're decent tools, but I kept hitting the same issues - lagging interface, unreliable order submission, broken fill imports, clunky modeling, and no strategy templates. So I built my own terminal that solves these problems: - Speed. Everything is fast with no lag - quotes, order execution, loading fills. - Flexible modeling. More convenient position modeling with support for custom strategy templates. - Accurate calendar spread what-if analysis. Volatility changes are modeled independently across different expirations, so you get realistic projections. It also includes a number of other features: strategy builder with entry conditions, volatility cone analysis, Kelly criterion calculator, trade copy-paste, historical price distribution analysis, the ability to send orders to two TWS instances for mirroring trades to a second account, and futures-based SPX price tracking during off-hours. On the practical side - there's a convenient backup/restore to Google Drive so your data is safe and not tied to a specific machine. Everything runs locally, no data is sent to the cloud. And authorization is handled once, so you don't have to log in manually every time. I'd love to get any feedback. Happy to answer questions about setup or how it works.

SO can be more than 50% invested during busy earnings periods, so you would need to reduce the position sizing. And your drawdowns might be higher as well, so it would be more risky. But overall, yes, it can be done, although generally speaking, I always recommend not to invest 100% of the account and have at least 20-30% in cash (or less risky assets).

SO has all trades listed because it's a lot of trades using different strategies. Services like SY and SV have only 2-3 trades every month, so it's very easy to track the P/L. For example, SY January return of 4% is based on 4 trades closed in January: If you sum the P/L of each trade (291+208+305-326), you will see how we report 4% ($400) return. SV is even simpler - it is typically a single trade per month.

Hi Kim, looks like a fantastic service with a bright future, especially with Yowster managing it, who i know from steady options is incredibly smart and reliable. I think i will likely end up purchasing this too in the future, my question is: given that this is only usually 50% invested, and so is steady options, would it be a silly idea to make that 100% of my portfolio? Could you share some more info on the types of trades and the greeks? Thanks!

Kim, New to service, and trying to understand the history of the services, in particular SteadyYields. SteadyOptions has a decent set of details, outlining the trades for (say) 2025. But I cannot find a corresponding set for any of the other services, only aggregates. SY appears to have a "bit of history", but it seems difficult to assemble a complete history of trades, PnL, DrawDown, Risk incurred, Position size in order to have a better understanding of what to expect. Any tables/data appreciated - Phil

thanks for the information!

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I cannot find "InvestTrader" in the members. Can you please give me the email address in order for me to find you among all the subscribers? Thanks, Romuald

Hi @Romuald A few months ago I registred in your site (the free plan). Now I'm trying to activate a paid subscription. I login, go to the subscriptions page, click on the desired plan and nothing happens. There is no response. If I logout and go to the subscriptions page, then I can access the form to activate the subscription. However, when I start inserting my data, the site rejects it saying that they already exist (which is correct). How can I activate the paid subscription? Thanks In Advance!

It’s the friday before the earning. Each earning date is not always on the same day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc) so it’s not always the same T-X. Another thing is that the data does until the Thursday because on friday end of day there is no data for that option that is expired.

@Djtux Looking at the double calendar RV charts with short leg before earnings, 1 week between calendar legs, weekly options, the black median line ends on different days before earnings date. Sometimes it is on Thursday Friday or Monday. It can be -2 -3 -4 trading days. What is the rule here? I would expect it always to be on a Friday since the calendar's front leg expires

The app works really well and is quite intuitive - I use it on a daily basis. If I am not mistaken, it is however available only on Apple products and also not accessible in browsers.

Here's a message I received today that's always a pleasure! I'm delighted that greenspan76 was able to earn this money thanks to my website math-trading.com!

I have built it and have been using it for three years now. It’s great;)

I anyone using this app? I have been looking to switch to Tradier, but need to trade via mobile much of the time. If this app works well it would solve that issue for me. Thanks.

I want to cancel my subscription chartaffair please help

thanks for the information!

Hi @Djtux, I came across an article by Newfound Research. In the article, they argue that using a volatility based timing strategy can reduce the hedging cost substantially. https://blog.thinknewfound.com/2020/07/heads-i-win-tails-i-hedge/ Since the timing strategy is about some "simple" manipulations of SPY IV and RV, I wonder if you are willing to included in volatilityhq? Thank you.

SOFI straddle has 50% chance. But RV is very low. So hopefully we will be in positive 50% side.

This is nice and spot ON. The top of list is meta. The day meta calendar was bought. It has kept going up and turned out to be best trade of this year. All others look correct too. So Good Analysis. Thanks

Yes, there is a coupon in the first post of this thread.

Hi, do SO members still get a 50% for the volatilityhq subscription? Thanks.
