    Hi, is there a trade management on these plays?
     
  6. I don't believe I will manage the iron condors or the calendar spread. I will probably close at 10-15 DTE, or if the underlying makes a big move in either direction.

    I do like to manage diagonals by rolling the short leg, and may do so on this one.

    But, I'm open to suggestions!

  7. Trade 5: Bear Call credit spread on SPY, 23 DTE. Short vega - expecting IV to calm down after today's spike (VIX to 19), so if SPY rises and vol drops, I will be somewhat protected. If SPY keeps falling & vol rises, I am strongly short delta, so I still win.

  8. You have done this in python ? nice work and a good read , thanks for sharing
     
  9. No, google sheets. However, I implemented a black scholars tool using google apps script, kind of like Visual Basic for excel. However, apps script is just JavaScript.

    Thanks for the feedback. I will exit some of these trades soon

    Very impressive. I have never seen options analysis this detailed in Google sheets.

    It seems ready to replace Excel. Can you take a quick peek at Hoadley Tools and determine if all those features can be implemented in sheets?

    Is the performance without hiccups?
