I do my options in a spreadsheet. The strategies aren't intraday. Intraday
data is too far off the mark to be useful. Slippage is still so much to the
floor's benefit, that intraday options trading isn't a realty, imo.

Hi Cwest,I looked at Tradestation7 and like you say it doesnt contain an
options module.Do you do all your Option strategy calculations manually.The
software you tested last year which costs25k was it for very short term
Option Trading or longer term trading,
