Are you selling  options on individual stocks as well as commodity futures?  
You say zero  drawdowns but there can be so called 'black swan' events such as 
a stock being  bought out where it jumps 30-40% in a day; a freeze in Brazil 
causing coffee  prices to soar, Iran could blockade the Persian Gulf and crude 
oil soars, as  examples.  Are you saying that you have never had a losing 
trade?   

If you are looking for a program where you can find implied volatility  on 
both stocks and futures, OptionVue software is what I use and  recommend.
