Just to bring everybody up to date on the VB Options Program. I started
learning to program in Visual Basic to be able to program some of my own
indicators and market analysis systems in stand alone applications. My
first project was an options analysis tool kit (Black Scholes Model,
Binomial Model, Probability Calculator). I thought I had it finished and
offered a free copy to the Realtraders group. I expected a small response
of maybe 5 to 10 people. So far in two days it is well over a hundred. I
then found out that what I thought was a compiled program would not run
on others pc's. so I went back to the drawing board to figure out how to
use the VB "Package Application" addin. After I did this then I had to
zip the file to be able to send it out as one file. I managed to get all
this done and was still left with another problem. I now had a file that
was 2.9mb. It takes my slow computer about 20min to email one copy. Much
to long to respond to everyones request. To solve this problem I am
trying to find out if the program can be posted on the Realtraders
Website. Another issue that came up was the fact that I never wrote a
readme file for the program with installation instructions and program
explanations. I will work on this next. After all this I will still need
some user feedback as to the accuracy and realiability of the programs
calculations. This whole project has been extremely beneficial in terms
of experience. I have had many response's from individuals in the group
who are working on similar projects. I have tried to address these
questions on an individual and group basis. I hope that others will be
encouraged to pursue their projects and that we will see the results
posted here. I hope to have all the bugs worked out in a few days and if
all goes well members will be able to download a workable copy of the
program from the Realtraders website.
Thanks
