About Peter Hoadley

2) Background

I spent twenty eight years in the IT and management consulting industries in a variety of roles: software developer, systems designer, IT consultant, and manager
I left the workforce in 1998 to focus full time on private investment activities. An active equities investor since 1996 I started developing options software in 1998. I started this web site in 1999.

Objectives

My focus is on providing high quality software for the private investor at a very low (or free) price, and for corporations at a competitive price.


3) asr: at $100 (one time fee) , this is very cheap for somebody who wanted to master Option strategies ..

Why is the Add-in so inexpensive compared with other products?

Different business models.



With a price of around 1/10th that of the product's closest competitor the private-use/non-commercial license is extremely inexpensive. The add-in's quality, however, no matter how you want to measure it --range and accuracy of functions, execution speed, consistency of approach across functions, documentation, working examples, email support -- is of the highest orde
