Option pricing app comparisons
OptionsEQ is an equity options calculator app. The basic 99c version uses the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the value of European equity, index and currency options.
An in app purchased $4.99 upgrade allows the app to utilize lattice (binomial and trinomial) and Monte Carlo methods to calculate the value of many more types of options.
Options EQ comes with over 80 examples installed from the most well-know options textbook and the ability to save, organize, and retrieve your own scenarios.
We are sufficiently confident in our product to provide a feature-by-feature comparison between our product and comparable products on the App Store.
