This post collects some of previous entries where I explained some of the tools I use on my options trading. I'm also using this to gather key information regarding the strategies I'm currently trading.
As you might already know, I have decided to focus on trading just two strategies between now (SEP) and the end of the year: Iron Butterflies and IBM Calendar. My goal is to simplify the business so I can focus on the strategies that are working best in the current environment. I'm also dedicating a portion of my capital to Day Trading FOREX, and keep a separate blog for those trades as they are very different from the options strategies I use.

would you mind sharing your excel spreadsheets? i was curious as to how do you implement the "Get Data" button in Excel to get the historical volatility data. Are you fetching this data from Yahoo or ThinkorSwim DDE?
