Hi Herm, I've been playing with the CBOE options toolbox you mentioned to someone the other day. I have downloaded version 3.0 (that 's what it says at the top of the window, and in the properties it says file version 5.0. As far as I can tell it is the latest one. It suffers from restrictions on the available strike prices to the standard increments, and will not allow any prices that imply volatility above 100. That unfortunately makes it of limited utility for me. I want the dollar increment strikes for QQQ and many prices these days imply higher volatility. Are you aware of any similar tools that allow the same sort of analysis, but without these restrictions? Anyone have a later version from CBOE? Dan
