Announcing targets, stop losses, public beta, and more
08 Jun 2016Options backtesting with targets and stop losses
Targets and stop losses have been your most requested features over the last couple months, and we’re very excited to finally bring them to you. You can now set targets and stops for every backtest you run on Volatility, even systematic strategies and earnings trades. You can also choose to include or exclude estimated liquidation costs for stop losses.

Backtest your custom prices
Another important backtesting update we’re releasing today is the ability to enter custom prices for options in your backtests. This allows you to easily backtest and evaluate live prices you see in the market intraday. A couple other benefits include helping you find the best levels to place your limit orders or helping you better understand the impact of bid/ask spreads on your strategy’s performance.
Public beta and thank you
We are also announcing a shift from private to public beta today. Your friends and colleagues can now more easily try Volatility, and we’re looking forward to hearing their feedback.
Finally, we want to sincerely thank you for being a part of our private beta and for helping us make Volatility into an essential tool for options traders. Looking forward, we will be launching Volatility out of beta soon. To show our appreciation for all your feedback and help, we’re offering you discounts on plans for a limited time. Learn more here.
