The Darvas Method

Hi Steve,
I am not sure how you can trace back and look at the closing options prices. I used to post all of the options quotes on MKTSS just for that purpose but have not done that in a while. You might want to call your broker and see if they know how to do that. One thing that you can do to ballpark the figures is to see where the Markets were at and which strike month you were looking at. Generally the contracts will be worth $1 for each 100 points away from the market and $1 for each strike month. Using that then a DJX 88 Put for Dec was probably selling for $2 for Dec, $3 for Jan and $4 for Feb. If you find out a way to backtest or track the previous options prices I would like to find out about it also. I often wondered if you could chart just the change in the options pricing. I think that the Options Toolbox CD from the OIC will let you calculate projected options pricing but I have never tried it. I am not sure if it will let you backtest though, maybe. I have never tried the 1-888 number for them either. They might have a lot of answers there. Funny that I have never used the resource. I hope this helps.
Enjoy the Evening Steve! :^)
