Kim 7,943 Report post Posted June 18, 2015 You are welcome. I'm planning to do some webinars on some of our strategies. Right now I have a technical issue with gotowebinar software (there is a 5-7 seconds delay in screen sharing), so maybe I will just do videos and not live webinars.

Guest Peter Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Today I have begun a trail of the OptionOne software. Unfortunately I can not get a connection to the TWS via API. Therefore, I have no real-time data yet. Does anyone know if I have to turn off the firewall for it? The API configuration in the TWS should be correct.

Guest Peter Report post Posted September 8, 2015 Kim and other ONE user Yes, I have already seen a few webinars and I can use the software already quite well. It's really amazing how well you can reconstruct the ancient trades. Two questions: 1. What data feed do you use for ONE, the TWS or the TOS. They're quite different. 2. Can you make a scree shot within the ONE software or do I have to use my external opportunities? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim 7,943 Report post Posted September 8, 2015 I'm using IB during market hours and TOS in after hours. Could you please clarify the second question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobS 14 Report post Posted September 12, 2015 Kim, I am about to finish my trial for OptionNet Explorer and really think it is a great tool. I have account with IB and TOS but do all my option trading with IB since as you have explained on numerous occasions, it is a lot less than TOS. .The IB interface was relatively easy to set-up and am now sending trades directly to IB through the API. I still find trades set-ups with IB on TWS a little more cumbersome than TOS so the interface through OptionNet ensures I do not make any mistakes. As you mention, the support from OptionNet has been excellent, extremely responsive and with use their desktop connection they are able to work with you on your desktop to straighten out any issues. My trail subscription expires on the 17th and would like your advice around next steps. With Steady Options discount of an additional 10% it will cost around $700 a year, not terrible, but would like to make sure I am using my dollars wisely. I know you are an active user of OptionNet and are using a screen shot from OptionNet when you set-up trade discussions with the members so my questions are; do you use any other tools for you options trade analysis that you would recommend in addition to OptionNet ? and from a cost perspective, if I was choose only one or two, which tools would you recommend ? I assume OptionNet would be one of them. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnHL 3 Report post Posted December 18, 2016 Hi Kim, regarding the backtesting functionality of OptionNET, it looks to me that one needs to pick specific options (i.e. according to the trading strategy) to enter a trade rather than using some kind of formula to pick specific options automatically. Am I correct? If so, do you know any other package that can allow one to backtest strategies using formulas? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim 7,943 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Yes, I do it manually. Not sure how you can automate it with ONE of other package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bschulz 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 So, anyone worked out just how competitive IB is with negotiated TOS rates, considering you have to spend $700 to get decent software. Seems that erases a lot of those attractive commission rates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim 7,943 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 If you are serious about trading, you need decent software anyway. TOS doesn't have fraction of the tools the ONE has. As for savings - I guess it depends how much you trade. If you trade 10k SO portfolio, you can easily trade 150-200 contacts per month, or 2,000+ contracts per year. 0.50 savings per contract (assuming you got 1.25/contract with TOS) translates to over $1,000 savings. With larger accounts, the savings become much more significant. ONE software is around $560 for SO members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voland777 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 @Kim, Is there a way to track a portfolio of multiple options of different underlyings in ONE software? I just got the trial subscription to ONE but I can't seem to be able to see a way of doing. It allows only multiple options of the SAME underlying. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim 7,943 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Yes, you can do it. Go to Setting/Create account. Then create all trades under that account, and you can track it as a portfolio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike C 17 Report post Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hi, I have a question concerning the "Volatility adjust" option in the risk profile analysis tab of OptionNET Explorer. What is the reference value of one unit in the volatility adjustment tab. For example, if we adjust it to +1 is it gonna adjust the risk profile for an increase of + 1 % in the implied volatility of the underlying? If not what is the unit value of 1 unit in the volatility tab adjustment. Thx Edited March 22, 2021 by Mike C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx It is a point increase, so if the current IV is 20 and you want to see what it looks like at IV of 30 then the volatility adjust should be +10 (for the point increase), not 50 (the percentage increase).
