Build options intuition in a private, offline lab. Options Analysis Suite is a Black-Scholes pricing engine, strategy explorer, portfolio Greeks aggregator, and interactive learn library - no broker, no login, no live feed. ANALYZE, TEST, LEARN • Black-Scholes Calculator - Compute option price, core Greeks, and advanced Greeks from your own spot, strike, IV, rate, dividend, and expiry assumptions. Greeks update live as you adjust parameters. Sensitivity charts show how each Greek changes across spot. • Strategy Explorer - 17 classic option strategies (Long Call, Iron Condor, Bull Call Spread, Calendar Spread, Straddle, Strangle, and more) with payoff-at-expiry diagrams, T+0 overlays, max profit / max loss / breakeven summaries, and probability-of-profit calculations under a lognormal model. Compare two strategies side by side. • Portfolio Sandbox - Aggregate Greeks across multiple hypothetical positions and symbols so you can see portfolio-level exposure, not just one trade at a time. View Δ, Γ, Θ, V, ρ totals plus second-order Greeks (vanna, charm, vomma, veta) and optional third-order. Load from strategy templates or build positions from scratch. • Trade Journal - Record hypothetical trade entries, mark them closed at any user-supplied close spot and IV, and reflect with Greeks-at-entry vs Greeks-at-close side by side. Tag closed trades with the lessons they taught you, then jump back to the matching learn module to review the concept. • Learn Modules - Interactive lessons covering Greeks Surface, IV Smile & Skew, Probability Cone, Per-Expiration IV term structure, Pin Risk, Earnings IV crush, Dealer Hedging Mechanics (GEX / gamma flip / pinning), Stress Tests, plus new Beginner Foundations: What are Options?, Reading the Option Chain, Bid-Ask Spread Math, Assignment & Exercise, Put-Call Parity, and POP vs Expected Value, and more. Every module has live sliders so you can manipulate the underlying mechanics yourself. • Daily Practice - Rotating quiz format covering beginner, intermediate, and advanced options concepts. WHO IT'S FOR Self-directed options learners. People who use a broker for actual trading and want a separate, focused space to build understanding away from a live order ticket. Anyone working through an options textbook, preparing for derivatives coursework, or studying for professional finance exams who needs a sandbox to test concepts. OFFLINE BY DESIGN No brokerage. No live market data. No trades. No account. No ads. No tracking. Nothing leaves your device - calculator inputs, strategy setups, portfolio positions, and trade journal entries are stored only in local storage on your phone, and the app works entirely offline. All P&L figures, risk numbers, and trade-journal entries are hypothetical Black-Scholes projections under your own supplied parameters. They are educational examples, not investment advice. Real options trading involves substantial risk, including the risk of losing more than your initial deposit. Always do your own research and consult a licensed financial advisor before trading.

Stay ahead of every market move with real-time CBOE Volatility Index tracking, instant panic level alerts, and the full upcoming earnings schedule - all in one beautifully designed app. LIVE VIX DATA Volatility Radar pulls the live CBOE VIX index directly from the market and refreshes it every 60 seconds. See the current value, point change, and percentage move at a glance. Know exactly where market fear stands the moment you open the app. MARKET PANIC LEVELS The VIX doesn't just move - it signals. Volatility Radar translates the raw number into five clear market conditions. - Regular (VIX less 30) - Markets are calm - High Fear (30-40) - Investors are getting cautious - Extreme Panic (40-50) - High volatility, risk management critical - Capitulation (50-80) - Aggressive selling, sharp reversals possible - Historic Crisis (80 and more) - Systemic risk, unprecedented conditions The entire interface reacts dynamically - background gradients shift from green to orange to red to deep purple as fear escalates, giving you an instant visual read on market conditions. INSTANT ALERTS Enable market alerts and get notified the moment the panic level changes. Whether fear is rising or calm is returning, you'll know before most traders do. EARNINGS SCHEDULE Track the next 7 days of US earnings reports - company name, ticker, report timing (before open, after close, during market), and estimated EPS. Never be caught off guard by a major earnings move again. MARKET STATUS See at a glance whether US equity markets are currently open or closed, updated in real time based on NYSE trading hours.
