    Hi All

    I have seen a tool that is available on the Think or Swim Platform which allows you to Beta Weight the risk of your portfolio relative to an index (ie SPY) or another instrument.

    You can see what this does here:

    Does anyone know if it is possible to do the same thing on the Trader Workstation Platform on Interactive Brokers?

    Any help appreciated.

    Best

    I have not found this feature on any other trading platforms yet. OptionsExpress has a platform called the maestro but I am not sure if it has beta weighting or not?

    Hope this helps.
