    Waffles is live! - try it out!

    Peeps -- Waffles is LIVE, baby. [www.waffles.finance](http://www.waffles.finance)

    Waffles is a FREE intuitive visualization and analysis tool for U.S. equity options.

    If you don't already know, Waffles rethinks how you build trades. Simply load a pre-built or saved strategy and waffles will do the work for you. No fuss. No more tedious option picking.

    Once the trade is built you can customize to your heart's desire. And can reposition the strategy in seconds- even using hotkeys if you'd prefer .

    Let me know your thoughts! I am full-time dedicated to this and I'm planning to grow the team, so stay tuned! Waffles is setting out to revolutionize the option DD and analysis experience.

    EDIT: since this is the first launch and there may be some issues, please dm me your issue and I'll try to implement a fix ASAP.

    EDIT: thank you for the positive feedback. It means a lot given that a ton of work has gone into this for you all. I have three asks of you

    1. please share with others who may benefit
    2. Let other users know of Easter eggs or features you find useful that I haven't described (like changing the metric to imp vol in the option selector menu / table) and
    3. please dm me email me any bugs so I can squash them and / or feature requests.

    It's a great tool but it's only for pure option play. What if I want to analyze a stock+option strategy?
     
  3. A friend of mine turned me onto it this morning; it's pretty impressive, and fun to play with. I suspect that newbies will probably freak a bit when they run across strips/straps/ladders/guts and all the other stuff they've never heard of, but people with at least a bit of experience are likely to enjoy it.

    A couple of minor oddities: 1) the P&L table Y-axis should probably be in whole dollar amounts rather than $0.20 increments, and 2) there's no easy way to take a step back from wherever you are, at least not that I can spot.

    Outside of that - great work!

    Looks great compared to TWS strategy builder.

    Is the data live? Also which symbol are you using for the spx index?

    Contact the website/owner. I’m assuming he’d be using Yahoo data.

    This is a gem, thanks for sharing. Going to play around with this website now.

    As we permit to the future, we will see more and more of these new website/apps via optionality and its only going to get better. I'm excited to see whats in store.
