OptionLab
This package is a lightweight library designed to provide quick evaluation of options trading
strategies. It produces various outputs:
-
the profit/loss profile of the strategy on a user-defined target date
-
the range of stock prices for which the strategy is profitable (i.e., generating a return of
at least $0.01) -
the Greeks (delta, theta, rho, vega and gamma) associated with each leg of the strategy
-
the resulting debit or credit on the trading account
-
the maximum and minimum returns within a specified lower and higher price
range of the underlying asset -
The expected profit when the strategy is profitable and the expected loss if it proves unprofitable
-
the strategy's probability of profit.
