Five pricing models, one workbench.

A rebuilt options analytics dashboard: multi-leg strategy construction with American exercise, five pricing models side by side, a Greeks lab, and exotics, all on one vendored pricing library.

Greeks Lab: sensitivity surfaces across spot, time, and volatility for the structured position.

Five modules share one pricing core.

Every module draws on the same vendored comp_methods library, so the price in the builder matches the price in the Greeks lab.

ModuleWhat it does
Strategy BuilderUp to 6 legs of calls, puts, and stock (buy or sell, European or American) with payoff and current-value overlays plus portfolio Greeks.
American OptionsFive pricing models side by side with early-exercise premiums vs. Black–Scholes, runtimes, and convergence charts.
Greeks LabTwo instruments on one chart: Δ, Γ, ν, Θ, ρ against spot, time, vol, and rates, with 20 charts plus N(d1)/N(d2) moneyness.
Implied VolatilityEuropean (Brent root-find) and American (trinomial) IV with back-solve verification and a live-quote workflow.
ExoticsAsian, barrier, and lookback via seeded Monte Carlo with standard errors; digital options in closed form.

Trading conventions baked in

The dashboard follows desk conventions, so its outputs need no mental conversion.

  • Theta per day; vega and rho per 1% move, displayed the way traders quote them.
  • Ticker → expiry → strike → bid/ask/mid auto-fill for real-quote IV work.
  • Dividend yield support and Yahoo Finance spot fetching keep the builder honest on real names.

From pricing library to product

The numerical methods research became the backbone of the product.

  • comp_methods (trees, finite differences, LSM Monte Carlo, Greeks, and rate models) is vendored from the American_Options project.
  • v3 rebuilds and supersedes Options_Dashboard2, with a Mantine/React frontend migration underway.
