*** NEW OPTION STRATEGY GRAPH MODULE *** (V3.2.2 released MARCH 2026)
Add GRAPHICAL POWER to your GOLD STANDARD OPTION PRICING Tool!
Upgrade includes integrated flexible charting Module incorporating numerous main option strategies.
On selecting any option's expiry and exercise(/strike) price combination, you not only view a range of greek sensitivities, but now can also quickly view an interactive graph of option prices and returns for a range of underlying security values. These graphs are easily customised by single clicks using the intuitive option strategy filters.
** OPTION STRATEGY FILTERS CURRENTLY INCLUDE:
- Prices for any option, and Profit/Loss for common option strategies for a range of underlying prices.
- Long or Short positions. i.e. Purchased or written/sold options and combination strategies.
- Default Strategies for any call or put option currently include:
- Long Option
- Short/Written Option
- Long Straddle
- Short Straddle
- Covered Call (i.e. writing/selling a call option while holding the underlying/stock)
- All graph lines are colour-coded and display for a range of underlying security values, plus can be shown as of now/today and/or for the expiration date.
- Option prices and returns (profit/loss) can be shown for the currently chosen call, put or both the call and put options simultaneously.
- The underlying security (stock or otherwise) can be overlaid on any graph in terms of either price or profit. This is useful for comparative purposes. For example: A covered call option strategy obviously already contains the covered call including the underlying security within the main return (profit/loss) graph plot line. But it can also be useful to compare covered call returns against the returns of just holding the underlying stock/security on its own. Similar comparisons can also be useful for simpler non-combinational option positions. With the new FairOption Graphing facility, you can easily do these types of comparison for a range of underlying prices - both as of now, and to indicate the various returns at option expiration.
All our graphs are automatically scaled in terms of x and y-axis, always show the strike and current underlying x-values, and clearly identify the various types of plot lines displayed.
... See brief video preview for a visual representation.
** REQUIREMENTS:
To use the new Graphing facility, you will need Apple macOS 13 (Ventura) or later for the Mac, or iOS/iPadOS 16 or later for iPhones/iPads. Graphs are not available on the Apple Watch version since the display is too small for these detailed graphs.
** COST:
All new and existing users of FairOption can enjoy this new chart upgrade, as long as their Apple OS version supports it and they have purchased the App for a compatible Apple platform. (i.e. No additional cost for this upgrade.)
** FAIROPTION APP NAME:
PLEASE NOTE: The FairOption App is available as separate apps for Apple iPhone (incl. iPad), Apple Mac, and Apple Watch. It may be confusing, but the app names on Apple App Stores for FairOption are: 'FairOption' for the iOS iPhone/iPad version, 'FairOption - Option Pricing' for the Mac macOS version, and 'FairOption for Watch' for the Apple Watch watchOS version. The way the Apple App Store system operates is that we are not allowed to have the same app name for these closely related, but independent apps. (i.e. The app name has to be unique on the whole Apple platforms system). However, all three closely related apps do have the same award-winning developer, include common codebase, and are all able to optionally sync via your Apple iCloud account if required.
