Absolutely! Simple spreads is using debit spreads, no margin involved, and commissions are much less critical because most of the spreads are higher dollar value, so commissions are small percentage of the spread value.

Hi, I have a broker account with Tastytrade. Unfortunately, Interactive Brokers declined to give me an account. The margin interest is lower with Interactive Brokers and I wanted to know if Simple Spreads was still viable using Tastytrade? Thanks

Thanks. It looks better, but the values are off, at least for the current cycle. Yesterday's (T-7) closing RV is showing as 0.55%, when it would have been around 0.67% (670 2-week Put Calendar @4.50) T-8 is showing 0.195%, when it was actually around 0.66%. Just passing along my observations. No rush at my end as I can work around the problem.

I think it is specific to META, because there was some confusion in the code that it was trying to retrieve the stock price of FB instead of META sometimes and sometimes it was getting it from META. I think the RV calendar of META should be better now. I've added an override for GE, but just to be clear, it is the responsibility of each trader to confirm the earning date / time by looking at the official investor relations website. That is the only source of truth.

Hi, I wanted to pay my subscription renewal via credit card, but my PayPal payment method was not setup correctly. I've now changed it to pay via credit card. Would you please credit my bank account for the payment that just processed, and request the payment via PayPal? Thanks in advance

@Djtux - New convert to VolHQ, so please excuse my ignorance. The Calendar chart for META seems wonky. The scale is centered at 0%, causing the current cycle RV to show negative. Other tickers (AAPL, TSLA) seem OK. What am I doing wrong ?

I'm not sure if someone is still using that, I believe it was one of the strategies used on SO at one point. The long strangle strikes are the closest to ATM strike + or - the short straddle premium

The earning date override doesn't work in this case, i'm not sure why for the moment. I am trying to rerun the calculations as the cache is stale.
-
@DjtuxAlso, yesterday's values are not in yet for all tickers. Please take a look at that as well

@Djtux For Levi, the company has confirmed on April 7 AMC but the tool is using April 6 AMC. As you mentioned before, the tool is configured gives the hightest priority to Source 1 when confirmed vs Others. So, please make the appropriate override or as you see fit. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260324931741/en/Levi-Strauss-Co.-To-Webcast-First-Quarter-2026-Earnings-Conference-Call https://investors.levistrauss.com/events-and-presentations/events-calendar/default.aspx

I think I found a workaround. The calendar rv should be up to date.
-
I think the problem is the code that handle the earning source override is not robust enough so it is causing issues you see and also the rv is missing a few days. Sorry about that, i will plan a fix in the future to make that more robust, but it’s not a quick fix, sorry about that.

@Djtux NKE was working earlier this morning, the error message is recent.
-
Yup, BABA as well, where I observed
-
Is it for NKE alone or for other symbols as well?
-
@DjtuxIntermittent issue today:
-
Yes, that's right. Makes sense now as to why Apr10 was used. Thanks for the override!
-
I don't have the option chain right now, but isn't April 3rd closed for good friday ?
-
Yup, that fixed it. However, note that the two dates of March 31 and April 2 are both encompassed by the April3 expiration so no matter what date was used the RV charts should use the Apr3 expiration - neither of those 2 dates should have caused it to use Apr10
-
That’s because source #1 is the priority source when it is confirmed. They still display April 2nd while source 4 and 6 display March 3. I have set a temporary override to for NKE to use source 6 (march 31). Please let me know if that fix the issues?
-
@Djtux Problem with NKE. Earnings was originally announced for April 2 but the company backed up the date to March 31 - both dates are in the same expiration week so it shouldn't matter for what expiration is closest to earnings. However, the NKE RV charts are using the Apr10 expiration (1w from earnings) instead of the correct Apr3 expiration (0w from earnings). Any idea why VolHQ is behaving like this?
