in your own Excel spreadsheets.

The Options Strategy Evaluation Tool will retrieve live US equity and index Options Chain snapshots from Tradier Brokerage for advanced analysis of options strategies, including strategy comparisons, probability of profit analysis, ROI, position hedging, early exercise analysis and much more.

The Implied Volatility Calculator will use Tradier Brokerage option chains for monthly volatility smile/skew analysis, implied volatility surface analysis including 3D volatility surface graphing, valuation analysis and hedging optimization.
 

Use streaming quotes and option chains into your own spreadsheets

The Hoadley Finance Add-in for Excel contains a function to connect your own spreadsheets directly to the Tradier Brokerage streamer. 

The quotes can either be snashoot or fully streaming -- no refresh required -- and the quote functions  can be used in your spreadsheets in exactly the same way as you would use any of the normal Excel functions (SUM, AVERAGE, NPV...).

Unlike many common streaming quote solutions, the Hoadley Finance Add-in for Excel does not use Microsoft's obsolete DDE technology for bringing quotes into spreadsheets.  Instead it uses the newer RTD (Real-Time Data) technology developed by Microsoft to replace DDE. RTD is more more robust and easier to use than DDE.

A function Wizard in the Finance Add-in for Excel guides you through the simple process of inserting streaming quotes into your own spreadsheet cells. No programming is required and the add-in includes sample worksheets containing examples using Tradier Brokerage data.

The add-in also includes a component, for use in a VBA module, for bringing live option chain snapshots into your own spreadsheets for analysis.

This combination of the Finance Add-in for Excel plus live data from Tradier Brokerage provides a powerful analysis platform for traders.  You can use the power of Excel with the Hoadley Finance Add-in to look behind market data to gain a much deeper understanding of option pricing, volatility, probabilities, and hedging.
 

Software Environment
