Hi Michael,
 
I have resisted purchasing OptionVue for years 
since I can find what I need for trading for much less or free else 
ware.  How do you use their historic data in your trading?
 
Good luck and good trading,
 
Ray Raffurty

  OptionVue is very complete. You want charts of implied and hist. 
  volatilities of AEM over the past five years? Just press a button. Need the 
  dollar-weighted put volumes charted over the last three weeks? Press another 
  button. Want to know the June Gold price 1.5 standard deviations above that 
  last high, two months into the future? Press another button again. Looking for 
  stocks which are in a downtrend, have just retraced for three days, have 
  resumed the downward movement today, and show unusually high implied call 
  volatilities? You can get them by using a built-in scanning language, get them 
  listed by volume, or by implieds, or by any complicated formula you might have 
  devised for your search. I could go on and on.
  OptionVue is also very comfortable. You don't have to remember what IBMCS 
  means; the software will use notation that you can immediately relate to (IBM 
  Mar 95 Calls). You don't have to bother about new strikes coming into view due 
  to the movement of the markets; OptionVue will insert them automatically. For 
  any position, even for the most complicated spreads, you will immediately see 
  the correct margins, and can see how they will change as the position matures 
  in different scenarios. Not to speak of the Greeks and probabilities and 
  profit graphs etc. which are a matter of course. And you have excellent 
  portfolio management included.
  There are so many things OptionVue can do - I don't have the time to name 
  them all.
  As for the software giving you an edge in the market - no, I don't think 
  that any software, per se, could do this. I am sure you are well aware of that 
  yourself. Software can aid with analysis, and IMHO OptionVue does a superb job 
  here, but I think you will agree that the trader has to know how to interpret 
  that information first in order to benefit from it. Just purchasing software 
  is not enough - one has to know how to use it.
  Best regards,
  Michael Suesserott

    years ago. This add-on module lets you go back in time and use historical 
    option data from the company's database, stored at half-hour intervals. 
    Thoroughly recommended.
