Add OptionWorks® to Your Trading Tool Belt!

Every day the OptionWorks® Database processes more than a million futures and option prices to produce its proprietary models for trend, volatility and skew. The OptionWorks® Trade Engine then analyzes those results for ten major option contracts and identifies the optimal strategies to consider based on current market conditions.
