Features

Options Analysis

• Complete options chain data processing
• Greeks calculation (delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho)
• Implied volatility analysis
• Probability calculations
• Risk/reward metrics

Strategy Analysis

• Credit Call Spreads (CCS)
• Put Credit Spreads (PCS)
• Cash Secured Puts (CSP)
• Covered Calls (CC)
• Position Greeks evaluation
• Liquidity analysis
• Risk metrics calculation

Risk Management

• Bid-ask spread analysis
• Volume and open interest validation
• Position sizing recommendations
• Maximum loss calculations
• Probability of profit estimates
