	The Option Pricing Model This is the basic Black-Scholes options pricing model. There is many calculators on the Internet similar to this one, however our version has been designed specifically to help you make quick simulations. "What happens if this stock goes down 87 cents?" question gets answered very quickly - and during a volatile session time is a very important factor. Click here for instructions.
	The Pyramid Optimizer Here's how pyramiding makes you money - i.a. you buy call options on a stock that you expect to rise. When you achieve a substantial profit on these options, you sell them and use the proceeds to buy call options on the same stock, but at the higher strike price. You can repeat this scheme, as long as the stock does not reach your price objective. "How can I do it?", "How much can I gain?" "What strike prices should I use?" - all of these questions (and more!) can be answered through this powerful tool. This tool will also tell you if pyramiding is not a good idea for a particular situation. Click here for instructions.
