SOAP2 (Simple Options Analysis Platform) is a Windows desktop app for live options chain analysis, risk graphing, volatility surface visualization, and trade preparation on Interactive Brokers (TWS) — with prepared orders you always review and send yourself.
SOAP2 is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Interactive Brokers.
Everything centers on the Options Analysis (OA) window: chain, model, and risk in one place.
Calls and puts aligned by strike, with bid/ask/mark, volume, open interest, IV, and Greeks — populated fastest around the strikes you're actually viewing to respect IB pacing limits.
Visualize P&L for recorded positions, model ("what-if") legs, or both — with T+0 time decay curves and Greek overlays.
Poly-fit implied volatility surface across strikes and expiries, with RMSE/R² fit quality and a solver toggle for fast iteration.
Step an OA window back to a past date/time — historical prices, Greeks, IV and Risk Graph — to review a trade entry/exit or study a chain under past conditions.
Record trades per account, allocate executions from IB fills, and review performance in the Trade Report.
Track the symbols you trade with live quotes, and open an OA for any of them in one click.
A dedicated calendar for expiry selection, with automatic trading-class and AM/PM settlement resolution for US index products.
SOAP2 prepares orders for TWS but never transmits automatically — you always review and send from TWS yourself.
Span the main window across displays, or float individual OA windows onto their own monitor — layouts are remembered between sessions.
