SOAP2
Early Access / Beta

Options analysis and trade workflow, built around live Interactive Brokers data.

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.

SOAP2 Options Analysis window example
SOAP2 in action — Options Analysis window

Built for live options workflow

Everything centers on the Options Analysis (OA) window: chain, model, and risk in one place.

SOAP2 top toolstrip

Live options chains

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.

SOAP2 risk graph

Risk graph & model trades

Visualize P&L for recorded positions, model ("what-if") legs, or both — with T+0 time decay curves and Greek overlays.

Premium

Volatility surface

Poly-fit implied volatility surface across strikes and expiries, with RMSE/R² fit quality and a solver toggle for fast iteration.

Premium

Rewind — historical playback

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.

SOAP2 trade list

Trade log & reporting

Record trades per account, allocate executions from IB fills, and review performance in the Trade Report.

SOAP2 live watchlist

Watchlist management

Track the symbols you trade with live quotes, and open an OA for any of them in one click.

SOAP2 expiry calendar

Expiry & trading class handling

A dedicated calendar for expiry selection, with automatic trading-class and AM/PM settlement resolution for US index products.

Reviewable order flow

SOAP2 prepares orders for TWS but never transmits automatically — you always review and send from TWS yourself.

Multi-monitor support

Span the main window across displays, or float individual OA windows onto their own monitor — layouts are remembered between sessions.

Connecting to Interactive Brokers

Configure the TWS / IB Gateway connection settings and get SOAP2 talking to your account.

Watchlist setup

Set up your SOAP2 watchlist of underlyings for options analysis.

Live watchlist

Live quotes and Market Maker pricing across your tracked symbols.

First steps

A tour of the Options Analysis window: chain, model, and risk in one place.

Trade log
