OptionPosition+ Version 1.5

OptionPosition is a financial analysis App that estimates the value of a set of shares and put and call options for a particular stock. It allows the investor to explore various option hedging positions and create a portfolio that is sensitive to price and volatility fluctuations or that provides protection for various concerns. OptionPosition graphically illustrates the value of put protection, covered calls, call spreads, time spreads, delta neutral skew trades, iron condors, etc.. Examples of the use of OptionPosition to explore and display various hedging and speculative strategies are located at our website: www.OptionPosition.com.

OptionPosition+ comes with an initial one month subscription period that provides access to data on all stocks listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. After this one month subscription period you may purchase an ongoing subscription through an In-App Purchase.
