COOL Tool and Mac users
| HelpRegister |
COOL Tool and Mac users I opened the COOL_Tool Excel file at work on my PC and enabled macros. (I got tech support for this but it is easy: go to the Window icon on top left, choose Excel Options on bottom of this little window; then Trust Center, Trust Center Settings in middle, Macro Settings, Enable Macros). I saved the file with this setting of Macros Enabled. Then I can bring the file home and use it on my PC Portal/Citrix from work on my home Mac computer. It is a bit round-about but it will work easily. But the math formula is also pretty easy, though, Paul, it doesn't take commissions into account for the APR... which the COOL_Tool does, right? thanks, Etana On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 11:42 AM, Paul Madison <TheCOOLClubDude@gmail.com> wrote: > There are several in the Greystone Trading Group who are into TA but I > personally am not.

You can build yourself some easy cheats on the commissions. If your normal is $9 for 1 contract that is going to drop your premium by $.09. If it is $10 for 2 contracts that is going to drop your premium by $.05. If it is $11 for 3 contracts it will drop your premium by $.037. Those are just examples but you could quickly build yourself a simple table of your exact situation and then just subtract the premium cost from the premium you would be collecting.
Hope that helps! Paul Madison
