Users can calculate options prices; imply volatilities, calculate Greek letters for European options. American options, exotic options, and interest rate derivatives. Interest rate derivatives can be valued using either Black's model or a no-arbitrage model. The software can be used to display binomial trees and provide many different charts showing the impact of different variables on either option prices or the Greek letters.
