Options Organizer is now available on the App Store. It keeps a private, encrypted record of the stock and option trades you make at your broker, and shows live P&L and Greeks on your Mac and iPad.

Introductory price: $1.99

For its launch, Options Organizer is priced at $1.99 (US; prices vary by country). The price will go up as new features are added, but if you buy now, every future update is yours free. One purchase covers both Mac and iPad, and Family Sharing lets up to six family members use it.

What it does

– Watchlist: stock prices that refresh automatically, with the day’s change, the day’s range and the 52-week range.

– Option chain: calls and puts side by side by strike, with bid, ask, last, implied volatility and Greeks. When Greeks aren’t supplied, the app calculates them with American pricing models.

– Positions: record share purchases as lots and option positions by hand, from the chain or by importing a CSV from your broker. Close legs fully or partly, or mark expired options worthless.

– Running totals: realized and unrealized P&L, broker fees, market value, delta, dollar delta, theta, vega and gamma.

Private by design

Your positions, watchlist and settings are encrypted on your device before they’re saved, and they sync through your own private iCloud database. Only your devices hold the key. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no accounts.

Market data

Prices come from Alpaca. You’ll need a free Alpaca account, and a paper-trading account is enough. The app includes step-by-step instructions for creating your API keys.

For those unfamiliar, MDM is a methodology and set of tools used by a business’ IT department to manage company phones, computers and other devices. If a victim did fall for this new tactic, the end result was that the hackers now had complete control over their “iPhone.

“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main … and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

Interesting demo at Def con by a researcher. We’ll need to be extra careful where we get our cables from going forward.
