OT Hi Matt, You sure are a hardcore numbers guy :-) Thanks for the reply on Excel vs Interquote. I think you answered my question. I'm not looking for Excel to do all Interquote provides (like charting), just for number crunching. Thanks for the offer for your BS sheet formulas. I have one I use in Excel already and I dare not upset that balance by introducing something new (if it ain't broke... :-) Arbing is not for me. I just like to know the implied and historical volatilities (to calculate a theoretical fair value) before I enter into an options play. I also usually check delta. I have a series of Excel sheets tied into a realtime feed that helps me look at all my numbers before I select which one to put on. I just keep my eye out for other possibilities in case new tools come out that might be better. I think if money were no object, I've heard a lot of great things about tradestation/optionstation. But their RT feeds are quite pricey when I checked on them last and I'm not sure I need that level of sophistication. Thanks.
