[TheOptionClub.com] Re: Options Price Theoretical vs Real

 

Unfortunately, my own spreadsheet that I can't share. Normally I would not think about sharing it, but due to the fact that we are using it to manage money my partners would be really annoyed if I shared it.

However, it is not that complicated to build. What you need to do is scenario building. Of course it assumes that you have an understanding of pricing.

GNumeric has a good set of libraries with option pricing already built in.
