Options Management

keithd said: "Hello Everyone, I would like to know what (free) tools if any people use to manage their options. I would like to set something up in Excel where I enter the underlying ticker and it will bring up options I have for it, date I purchased if I am ITM,ATM,OTM, etc. I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas or could point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance, Keith"

You can check out their stuff here: They might have a free demo that you could try out. You could also try posting your request I've always found the posters there to be helpful with obscure options questions."

Thank you in advance, Keith[/QUOTE] Hey Keith, if you're still looking for a free options tracking platform, I recently joined a site that has an options-friendly portfolio tracking system people can use for free. The cool thing is that you can create public portfolios and be ranked in the leaderboards. [url]www.tippingmonkey.com[/url] I personally think it's very useful to me because it handles everything from simple options buy/write to combination strategies such as buy-writes, spreads and even butterflies. It even tracks profit/loss and assignment costs if your written options goes ITM - I've never seen that in any other free platform out there so far. - R."

I don't frequent this forum too often so I missed your reply. I guess I'm going to check these forums more often! - Raymond"
