XyrisOption Compared to Excel Add-ins

Because XyrisOption is a 32-bit, standalone application, it offers performance and functionality an Excel add-in cannot. When real-time calculations are required on every option in several option chains, Excel does not keep up with XyrisOption's specialized calculation and chain retrieval libraries.

XyrisOption is designed for listed cash options of Equities and Indices and listed futures options on Index, Commodity, Energy, and Money Market contracts on any domestic or international exchange worldwide.

XyrisOption offers many advantages over Excel add-ins for listed options traders. XyrisOption's user interface, features, and calculation engine are streamlined and optimized for these demanding users.

XyrisOption's advantages over Excel add-ins include the following:

Speed -- XyrisOption's purpose-built user interface allows you to access data and evaluate prices quickly. Excel add-ins are hampered by Excel's general-purpose spreadsheet model.

Features -- Specialized XyrisOption features allow you to go beyond the spreadsheet paradigm.

Calculations -- XyrisOption's high performance, specially tuned calculation engine performs all calculations for all options, in all open classes, in real-time - including implied volatilities, theoretical values, and greeks. Excel can stall when attempting to perform large numbers of real-time calculations.
