Hey @Kim - no problem in the least. I find that too few people take time to mention the positive things in life, to give praise where it is due - they find it far easier to be a constant critic. I'll stick to the positive side . . . you might say I'm LONG SO. LOL

On the upcoming earnings page, I tried to come up with some additional numbers for trading calendars: 1) The average calendar RV rise over the last 8 cycles (CAL rise) 2) The 'volatility' of RV within cycles (we often use to go in and out several times during one cycle when trading a calendar. This should work better the more 'bouncy' a calendar is, i.e. you see higher and lower RV values taking turns within just a few days. CAL vola tries to capture this behaviour and make it comparable) As before all columns can be filtered and sorted. This can help you for example when looking at sorted average straddle decay numbers when looking for candidates.

@MaryPaananenThank you very much for posting a comment. This is exactly how members should use the service. And yes, I know Travis for many years and have a great respect for him and what he does. He is running an excellent resource.

@trader212 Thanks for the hint. I changed the number format to US (which is probably more consistent anyway). Should work when you try next time.

Thanks Kim . . . I just so happen to be a longtime member of Stock Gumshoe. Travis and crew are good folks and the fact that they encourage folks to comment and ask questions about all sorts of trade related products, services and sites - is a good thing. Given the above post about SO (which really wasn't that negative - just one person's perspective), I decided to go to the thread and see it. I also went ahead and posted why I have joined SO (same time as the other poster), what my goals were in joining SO and my perspectives as such. I'm here to learn, gain experience, contribute and hopefully give value BACK to the SO community . . . and I plan on being here for the long haul. It has been a great experience and I'm far from done (really, just getting started). Thanks @Kim, @Yowster, @TrustyJules, @rasar and to all the others on this site - I'm a newbie, I'm leaning and this is a great place to be a member of.
