When trading options most of the risk stems from the lack of understanding of the behaviour and interaction of option positions.
OptionScape removes the uncalculated risk from option trading!* |

OptionScape removes the uncalculated risk from option trading.
It provides margin forecasts right to the expiry of your last surviving option position. It's the only software capable of analysing diagonal strategies, that is those with options having different expiry dates, beyond the first expiry date.
|
Make informed decisions easily*
OptionScape gives you all the possible outcomes under all market conditions with self-explanatory graphics.
It gives you up to 25,000 full scale Monte Carlo analyses, ready to be used, within seconds.
|
Get a clear picture of your options
OptionScape's data visualisation method reduces hundreds of pages of data into just a few 3D diagrams, without losing information.
|
Use your funds more efficiently*
When you know the possible margin requirements in advance, you can increase your efficiency by allowing better money management.
|
Ride volatile situations smoothly*
OptionScape can give you full Implied Volatility scenario analysis throughout the life of your strategies, allowing you to see upfront if your strategy is safe, even under extreme conditions.
|
There is no reward without risk. However, the only risk you should take is the risk you are aware of and comfortable with. At present it is virtually impossible to see the full picture without OptionScape.
If you are a pro and you think you do see the full picture, run an American style diagonal Condor through OptionScape with several market and implied volatility scenarios, and you will see how little was known about options until now.
|
Even beginners can step in*
OptionScape takes the mystery out of options' behaviour. So as a beginner you can enter the options market safely.
|
Handling multiple expiries
Using OptionScape you can pre-empt dangerous situations.
Sometimes you may use strategies involving two or more different expiry dates. (Calendar spreads diagonal strategies, etc.) When multiple expiries are present, the outcome of the strategy will greatly depend on where the market is on the expiry dates. OptionScape gives you the opportunity to see all possible scenarios, throughout the life of your strategies, no matter how complicated it may be.

Extracting info from 3D graphs
Options exist in a four dimensional 'space' - market, money, time and implied volatility. In order to fully understand the behaviour of our strategies, we must fully comprehend our positions in their 'space'. It is easier for our brain to reconstruct these four dimensions from a 3D representation than from a series of 2D diagrams. It takes a split second to get the hang of reading 3D graphs.
|
Why OptionScape
OptionScape is designed to work in conjunction with other products. It won't scan the market for you, or give buy/sell signals. But it can stop you from losing money. OptionScape eliminates the unknown factors from your strategies. It gives you the full picture for any number of positions, rendering options to be the simplest and least risky instruments of all.
|
OptionScape fills the gap
One of your greatest enemies on the market is a margin call you cannot meet. It can sneak up on you due to changes in implied volatility, sudden change in the price of the underlying instrument, or changes in the risk parameters of your broker.
OptionScape is the only program that will give you a full forecast of margin obligations containing all possible scenarios throughout the life of your strategy.
|
Use the power of margin forecasts to cope with volatility*
Implied volatility changes in time, and is different for each strike price. OptionScape is the only product that gives you full analysis of any implied volatility scenario you may set. Once your implied volatility scenario is set, OptionScape will show you its effect on the payout, cash level, VaR, Greeks, and most of all on the margin forecast. This feature on its own can make you a winner, but definitely stop you from becoming a loser if used properly.
|
* OptionScape does not replace any of your trading tools, OptionScape does not replace good trader education, and most of all OptionScape does not replace the advice of a licenced financial advisor.

What's been said about OptionScape
Most OptionScape users find the implied volatility analysis tool to be the best feature, because it gives them an insight to how changes in implied volatility will affect their strategies.
'Even if you never traded options before, the educational value of OptionScape is phenomenal. For experienced traders this tool will make everything finally fall in place!'
'Once you have seen your positions in 3D, you will never look at a 2D diagram again! '
