Some would say that TS is better at buying puts when an index is bullish
and calls when the index is bearish, but be that as it may.... :-)
If you're heavily into options analysis, take a look at OptionStation (or,
better yet, wait for OptionStation.Com. Did I say that?). In the 2000i
products you can use EasyLanguage with OptionStation. If you don't really
need to analyze options (choose strikes, figure out theoretical prices,
choose months, etc.), you just want long/short signals, then TS will do.
You can use the canned systems or "roll your own"...
