Article Abstract:

Software can simplify investing in options in a number of ways. Software can help with charting prices of underlying stocks for deciding when to buy and sell. 'Pay-off diagrams' are available to chart losses and profits from a variety of values for the underlying stock price. Technical analysis packages may provide additional options modules. Stock prices can be checked over the day using internet connections. Many packages from the US tend to be too expensive and complex for private investors unless they are trading in large quantities.
