Weve all seen it, pulled up an option with low volume and open interest, and even though the contract has data going back 6 months theres only 4 sales on the chart. Are there any calculators out there that use something like a black-scholes equation, these data points to estimate …
Free Options Trading Visualizer/Roguelite Trading Game

Margin requirements for selling premium right now are a joke
Trying to run 45 dte credit spreads on spx lately and the buying power reduction is just absurd for the pennies we are collecting in this low VIX environment. My broker wants to lock up $1k in margin just to collect like $60 on a 10-wide spread. The math ain't …
