I actually didnt mention specific options soft on 
account your request was related to metastock capabilities and use for options, 
the best options soft is optionvue, or you can use the web service of <A 
href="">www.optionetics.com.
there is other site like <A 
href="">www.<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>IVolatility.com
forget about the greeks in my experience they dont 
add anything crucial to your trading, but volatility is crucial, this was the 
reason i used the ip/hv ratio when i was still investing in options in the 
american market
mostly you must buy low volatility and sell (or 
write) high volatility, but the problem is high or low comparing to what, 
so i started to use the ratio to spot it fast, i dont have the exact code for 
the ratio with me, but you can find the iv indicator on metastock quick 
indicator list and for the hv i usethis formula:
 
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>Std(Log(C/Ref(C,-1)),10)/Std(Log(C/Ref(C,-1)),100)
 
make notice that while the implied is calculated 
based on the option price the hv is calculated on the underlying.
 
about the <FONT face="Times New Roman" 
size=3>group/industry ranked by their volatility, you can find in the sites 
mentioned by me and debra that infomation
 
i never used it but optionetics is very much 
discussed and recommended inoptions boards and usenet groups, but as a rule you 
should check the cboe site
 
Bye

  Option
  Pablo,Appreciate your valuable systematic explanation. 
  Those points that you discussed were very important in option trading. If it 
  can determine or anticipate the correct underlying direction, this info can 
  then be used to interpret the option direction. Call follows underlying while 
  Put is reverse. I also understand that not all indicators are suitable for 
  each stock and Metastock can search and match the best indicator to optimized 
  profit, I wonder if I had missed out anything in Metastock for 
  option.Volatility(implied and Historical)Keen to know how you use 
  these info to analyze the option. I am aware that one can lost trade due to 
  volatility. You mentioned about use ratio of IV & HV, can you elaborate a 
  little bit more. The option volatility indicator is for IV, how do you obtain 
  HV in Metastock.Btw, do you have any good source where I can obtain the 
  volatility info. Is there any such listing of group/industry ranked by their 
  volatility.Best RegardsFreddie NgAt 04:07 AM 4/5/2003

  Freddie,on using 
    metastock for options you have 2 problems1 Data problem2 
    analysis problem1 since options trade for a short period, the 
    problem arises, you cannotmake any analysis for a while, there is 2 ways 
    around it : continuoscontracts (i tried them for a while , but they are 
    not reliable in myopnion), the alternative is using intraday data, so 
    even if you can makeanalysis on daily charts for a while, at least you 
    can run intraday an.2 about the analysis:you must keep an eye on 
    the stock or whatever the option is forthen you can analyze the option 
    itself by common tech an. toolsthen you have to keep an eye on implied 
    volaitity and hystorical volatility,for while i used a ratio between the 
    implied volatility and hystoricalvolatilitycheck the quick drop 
    indicator youll find some options indicatorsPablo----- Original
