Here are the new updates:-
1) ThinkorSwim SingleLeg and MultiLeg function
In this update, we added 2 new ThinkorSwim functions
1) =TradeMultiLegThinkOrSwim()
2) =TradeSingleLegThinkOrSwim()
Different strategies involving single or multiple legs can be developed using the functions demonstrated below. You can check the inputs required in the Functions argument tab. This function returns a value that you can paste into your ThinkOrSwim platform to send a trade.
2) Track a security’s financial stability with Consecutive Periods of Increasing and Dividend Payouts
1)=ConsecutivePeriodOfIncreasingDividendPayout(“MSFT”,”5y”)
Consecutive period of increasing dividend payout means that a company has consistently increased the amount of dividends it pays out to its shareholders over a certain period of time, indicating the company’s profitability and stability.
2) =ConsecutivePeriodOfUninterruptedDividendPayout(“msft”,”5y”)
Consecutive period of uninterrupted dividend payout refers to a situation where a company has consistently paid dividends to its shareholders without interruption over a certain period. This could be over a number of years or many consecutive quarters. This indicates stability and consistency in the company’s profitability and ability to return value to shareholders.
To get data for each quarter, use “Q” instead of “Y.”
3) StockReturn() function now includes Price and Total Return options for performance analysis
The StockReturn() function calculates the returns of a given stock over a specified period of time. It has been updated to include price returns (price appreciation over time) and total returns (price appreciation and dividends paid out). Both functions are already adjusted for splits.
Example – To calculate total returns of MSFT stock over the last year, the user would call the =StockReturnOneYear(“MSFT”,”total”) function.
4) Brand new Split History function now on MarketXLS
To obtain split history of stocks going back 20 years or more, you can use our Split History function in the Utilities sections.
5) Expiration and Strike Functions for ITM, OTM, and ATM Options
The Expirations and Strike functions can now allow you to determine the strikes and expirations of ITM, ATM, and OTM options by providing an additional argument “in”, “at” and “out”. Example to get ITM options use =Strikes(“Stock”,” Expiration Date”,”in”,”call”).
ITM = in
ATM = at
OTM = out
6) Get Friday’s closing prices of stocks now with our =Close_Historical function.
The “Close_Historical” function has been enhanced to include the capability to retrieve the last closing prices for a given stock, even if the date you put in as an argument is a weekend or holiday.
For example. =close_historical(“MSFT”,”Date”,”Yes”) will return the last closing price of MSFT if the Date you enter is a holiday or weekend. “No” argument will return an NA.
“Yes” will always return the price of the last day when the market was open.
7) Updated Portfolio Efficient Frontier Chart function
Elevate your financial planning with this advanced portfolio optimization solution. The chart displays six different portfolios, including conservative, moderate, balanced, growth, and aggressive, along with the R portfolio that shows maximum return with existing volatility.
We will conduct a webinar shortly where we will go in-depth on our new portfolio optimization and analytics functions.
8) New Options Profit Calculator tool added to screener list.
A new tool, the “Options Profit Calculator” has been added to the screener list. Please use this tool if you have real-time access to options data. There is no additional cost if you have real-time options data in MarketXLS.
This tool calculates potential profit or loss from options trading strategies, considering the underlying stock price, strike price, expiration date, and option premium. Users can input these variables for different scenarios, and the tool will calculate the potential profit or loss.
