Repetitive Calculations For Your Options Contract Analysis

Options Engine does repetitive calculations for you to help you analyze potential options trades.

Percent Change @ Exp

For each row in the options chain, Options Engine calculates the Percent Change @ Exp.

The Percent Change @ Exp is the change in stock price between the strike price and the current price as a percentage of the current price.

This is so you know how much and in which direction the current price needs to move during the contract period to equal the strike price.

The formula is the following.

Percent Change @ Exp = (strikePrice - stockPrice / stockPrice) * 100

Options Engine also highlights in green the rows that are interesting to options sellers based on that percentage calculation.

Seller Inc %

For each row in the options chain, Options Engine calculates the seller income percentage based on the average of the bid and ask prices as a percentage of the current stock price.

This is so you know the value of the contract price in relation to the current value of the underlying stock.

The formula is the following.

Seller Inc % = (avgBidAskPrice / stockPrice) * 100

We are adding more features, so please reach out with any ideas you have.

Options Engine Contract Calculator on Wikipedia

A covered option is a financial transaction in which the holder of securities sells (or "writes") a type of financial options contract known as a "call" or a "put" against stock that they own or are shorting
The seller of a covered option receives compensation, or "premium", for this transaction, which can limit losses; however, the act of selling a covered option also limits their profit potential to the upside
One covered option is sold for every hundred shares the seller wishes to cover.A covered option constructed with a call is called a "covered call", while one constructed with a put is a "covered put"
This strategy is generally considered conservative because the seller of a covered option reduces both their risk and their return.
