WALT, RTrs
Thanks for all your posts - they have been highly educative
1) Option Pro: from what I can make out for the recent posts about the best
Option Software - Option Pro seems to be mentioned quite often - which one
do you use - I am looking for something which allows me to plot a couple of
simple indicators like Bollinger Bands, put-call ratio, maybe the price of
the underlying instrument  in candlestick.

2) Option Data: where do you get it from - I was waiting for CSI to come out
with Unfair Advantage Option data module since  I use it for futures data
but that may take a while.
3) ODDS: I got the Don Fishback booklet from Tradewins- basically it talks
about calculating the odds of an option being in the money/out of the money
based on normal distribution and standard deviation - I like the book as a
easy  refresher on option theory - I don't know what his real-time record is
or if he trades for a living - I would not go for any high-price seminar
without seeing the actual account statements for a 18 months period with
atleast 30/40 trades to get a normal sample size. But in the other chat
forums to his credit, Don Fishback does reply back promptly to his
detractors.
4) Books on Option Trading: I found books written by Macmillan, David Caplan
and  Bobin( on agricultural option) to be very educative.
Happy Trading,
Ashif
