  1. My 2 cents... I would hope that calendars would be considered a basic trade type that is supported by the current version of the tool. I think everyone here would agree that calendars are fundamental options trades - just like call/put verticals and straddles/strangles. I can understand the need for a premium version for some more elaborate custom trade setups, but a calendar is a basic options trade that should be supported in the base version of the tool.

  2. @Bull3t007 - you should see a tab 'Fees' (see screenshot), and under the list of other fees, you'll see a separate list of cancellation fees.

  3. @cuegisYes, agreed... That being said, I think I found a big problem while looking at the detailed trade data.. @Ophir GottliebFor your just published TSLA covered call backtest, the trade data does not match your open close criteria. I noticed this when I saw little value in the TSLA options being closed which didn't look correct given that earnings is supposedly 1 day away. The earnings dates in the tool are way off compared to the actual earnings date. The following data shows the actual TSLA earnings date and the trade closing date in the tool (supposed to be 1 day before earnings): 8/5/15 - 7/1/15, 11/3/15 - 10/1/15, 2/10/16 - 1/1/16, 5/4/16 - 4/1/16, 8/3/16 - 7/4/16, 10/26/16 - 9/30/16, 2/22/17 - 1/2/17, 5/3/17 - 3/31/17. So, the tool appears to backtest a trade opened approx 2 months prior to earnings and closes it one month prior to earnings - not the 29 days prior and 1 day prior as specified in the trade criteria. This is a big deal because the short call uses options that expire prior to earnings as opposed to options that would expire after earnings (which would be the case when closing the trade 1 day before earnings). Also, another question, the tool had a few odd closing dates - Jan 1, and July 4. How could these be closing dates when they are holidays where the market is closed???
