Is there a way to add the view Option Chain feature to the PSS, the same way the PSM has it when you right click a symbol or from the account menu.

Thanks.

Which data provider are you using? The Option Chains option is present if you use TD Ameritrade but not if you use Prophet.

Thanks. If that’s the case, I use prophet, I thought it didn’t have anything to do with the data provider because that option takes you to the Yahoo Option Chain feature, the same way the Yahoo Screener is available in both, the PSM and the PSS. Please see attached pictures.

Thanks again

Our oversight. With PSS, the vast majority of our users are TD Ameritrade users which get the Option Chain support through them.

I'll mention it to Anatoly and we'll see if we can't get the link put in there for users that are not using using TDA. That won't make it into tomorrows release but we'll try to get it into the October release.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you, it will be very helpful for me and my students, I currently teach stocks trading and I am a stocks and options trader myself. We are moving to teach options in the near future and it will be very helpful if we just recommend only one software for both.

Thanks

What's your timeframe to teach options?

Do you have a collabinvest account?

I would very much like to chat with you a bit. I'm curious about your training course.

I am planning to teach options before next year summer. I don’t use collabinvest yet, don’t have time right now offer that support to my students, but that’s definitely an feature that I will be using in the future. You can contact me outside this forum using my e mail, contact@pcsinvestments.net.

Thanks

Ok. We'll have that issue resolved /LONG/ before then.

As you work with our software in a training context, please let us know of any ideas, features, improvements that you might have.

We've actually built many features into the software specifically with training in mind.

Are you familiar with the Annotation Sets on charts? You can annotate a chart with different scenarios and then save each one out the annotations and load them in later. This is all available from the right click menu. Our thought was they could be used much like transparencies in the good 'ol days.

I am very familiar with the software, I have been using the software myself for more than 6 years, I started with the Trade Center when Teach Me to Trade was offering training and switched to the PSS 4 years ago. I always find it very easy to use and very helpful. And is my number one choice to recommend to my students since I started to teach. I always wanted to recommend some features but never took the time to communicate with your support group. I will definitely be suggesting from now on.

Thanks
