| NEW -- The Institute for Options Research (IOR) has introduced an option program called The Push-Button Option Trader. The Push-Button Option Trader provides instant options analysis and recommendations plus a detailed game plan at the push of a button. The program tells you the best option to buy, when to take profits, when to cut losses, and when to exit your position. The user doesn't need to subscribe to a data service nor understand options analysis.
The program employs artificial intelligence to detail a game plan and rate option plays. It creates Option Profit Boxes, a unique option game plan and the centerpiece of The Put & Call Tactician advisory newsletter. The Push-Button Option Trader allows you to create your own Option Profit Boxes, which rate your potential option purchase and tell you your probability of hitting your profit goal and stop-loss point as set by the program. Another feature of the program is The Bargain Hunter, which tells you if an option is under- or overpriced. Whenever you generate an Option Profit Box, the program stores the implied volatility of the underlying stock or futures. The history of this implied volatility tells the computer if the option is over- or underpriced. The price is $195 plus $8 s/h. PO Box 6586 |
