I've added that to the website in production. I'm still testing that on my side, but if you see a better way to display that, let me know. I had to clear out the cache that stores the backtest so it will take some hours to be back to the 'normal' performance but the website is usable. I will pick NKE as an example : https://steadyoptions.com/forums/forum/topic/4698-discussion-nke-september-2018-trade/ In the straddle RV chart, there is a new Vix in the hover for each cycle : There is a new VIX chart as well. It gives you the VIX at each T-X for each cycle. Might be easier to spot outliers.

Plus the quarterly reporting is part of not only the SEC, but it's required of generally accepted accounting principles. I would think that protecting the right for shareholders/owners to know the financial information in a timely, transparent manner is more important than a short-term fluctuations in stock prices. But that's just my two cents worth.

Once we are satisfied with the way the VIX hover and the VIX charts are in the straddle RV, i can also add the same in the calendar. I prefer to do things steps by steps. I use snagit personally but it's a paid tool and my preference. For free, there is the Windows Snipping tool : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots You open up the Snipping Tool window, keep that window as the active window (aka click on that application title window for example), put the mouse where you want to hover on the RV chart, then use the keyboard CTRL+N, then select the area you want to screenshot. After that you can write on the screenshot or highlight. Pretty useful tool if you ask me.

Lets cross the bridge when we get there.. I don't see this happening any time soon. Too many people make a living out of those reports (analysts, hedge funds etc.) The lobby is too strong. In my personal opinion, it will reduce transparency, and I don't see SEC going forward with this. In any case, he suggests bi yearly reporting, so even if this happens, we will still have more than enough trades in our arsenal.
