I need a way to graph positions that will show me the situation on any day I choose--not just today or at expiration. I use IB, and I don't want to change my trading platform. Also, I'm not very techie, so I want something pretty simple, not something with ten thousand bells and whistles that will overwhelm me. Is there anything on the Web? I am willing to pay a fee if it's not too onerous. thanks! Mary
Take a look at this and see if it's what you're looking for: http://hoadley.net/options/strategymodel.htm
Last I checked, you can't get the full-up Platinum unless you're an Optionetics student. Instead you get the "Express" version for the same price a student pays for the real version. Another suggestion: open an account at thinkorswim (TOS). Their platform has a very nice multi-leg risk graph capability.
Have you tried the Position Simulator at www.888options.com ? It's pretty nice, but the main limitation is that it only allows up to 4 legs. You can change the date to any date and change the volatility assumption on that date. Just go to that website and go to Advanced -> Position Simulator to try it out. One of the best thing about it I guess is that it is free. JJacksET4

After communicating with Optionetics customer service a few months ago, I did not get the impression that this was an option. Thank you for the corrective haiku.
They used to behave that way but things are changing If you get Express or have Express Right there on the Express Home page is a link Upgrade and you can Upgrade to Regular Platinum online without having to make any calls
