OptionVue 5 - Upgrade Features in v1.54 (released 12/19/01)

1. A new continuous data interface was added – with PC Quote. All the user needs to do is select PC Quote in OptionVue’s Continuous Data Interface dialog. When OptionVue is started, the PC Quote server through which OptionVue gets pricing information is automatically launched, and can be seen as a small icon in the task bar on the user’s display. When OptionVue is closed, the PC Quote server automatically closes, provided no other applications (e.g. PC Quote’s Orbit software) are using the server.

2. An Account Rename function was added in the Portfolio Manager. It is available through a new button in the Account Information screen.

3. An Insert button was added to the Yates Break Search window that works like the Insert buttons on the Lookup and OpScan Report windows. When clicked, it sends the currently selected item(s) to the Quotes Display.

4. A new choice was added in the Put/Call Volume Settings dialog – Normalized Put/call Volume – computed as P / (P + C) (put volume divided by total put and call volume). Also, we have been asked to display numeric values associated with the Put/Call Volume charts. While finding a way to label the vertical axis remains problematic, we are now showing numeric values at the wand position.

5. In the Market Maker version of Detailed Analysis (off the Graphic Analysis), the first row in the Daily Time Effect section at the bottom used to show the position’s theta at the projected future date. Now it shows the position’s today’s theta, like the Regular version of Detailed Analysis.
