Visual Stock Analyzer is a powerful analysis tool for development, testing, and application of stock and options strategies.
Visual Stock Analyzer is easy-to-use interface allows you to test new strategies, manage a growing portfolio, and explore "what-if" scenarios with ease. Visual Stock Analyzer versatility and power make it suitable for new, experienced, or advanced traders alike. Here are some key features of "Visual Options Analyzer":
TD Ameritrade accounts support:
· VOptions now supports options trading at TD Ameritrade. VOptions is completely FREE for TD Ameritrade clients. Simply sign in using your TD Ameritrade account credentials and start analyzing and executing strategies.
New features related to TD Ameritrade integration:
· Display of your account’s balance, orders and positions list;
· Quotes download from TD Ameritrade (streaming and snapshot, depending on the account type);
· Orders placing;
· Historical and streaming news from TD Ameritrade web site.
Advanced Charting Capabilities:
· VOptions lets you make a thorough analysis of a trade before you call your broker. The software provides powerful two and three-dimensional charts for analyzing option strategies. The 3D Chart can simultaneously show the relationship between stock price and expiration date versus profit/loss. You can rotate the chart and zoom in on areas of interest. A "zone view" is also provided that displays an overhead view of the chart.
· The 2D Chart is designed for dynamic analysis, complete with a "Slider" that lets you vary parameters such as stock price, volatility, days until expiration, and interest rate as well as view the resulting effect (see animation) on prices and profit/loss for your portfolio. You can see how your trade will perform over a range of projected prices.
Built-in Options Strategies:
· VOptions software has 32 of the most popular and effective options strategies built-in. Just select a strategy and VOptions will download options and stock data and generate profit/loss charts for your inspection. You can then visually evaluate the potential risks and return of a strategy. Whenever you change strategies or vary parameters, such as risk-free interest rate or stock volatility, the charts will be redrawn immediately. This allows you to conduct easily a "what-if" analysis of any particular strategy. You can use one of three option pricing models: Black-Scholes, Binominal European and Binominal American.
Automatic Data Download:
· VOptions downloads free options data from TD Ameritrade and CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) for virtually all options listed on the CBOE, AMEX (American Stock Exchange), PHLX (Philadelphia Stock Exchange), PCX or PSE (Pacific Stock Exchange), and ISE (International Securities Exchange).
Advanced Capabilities:
· VOptions enables you to build your own or to modify built-in strategies in two ways: by changing theoretical terms (selecting ITM, ATM, or OTM options by steps, near-term or long-term options, etc.), or by selecting option parameters from lists of downloaded option quotes (option chains).
