Hello Michael

Thanks for creating this project. This one comes nearest to my backtesting requirements (mainly want to backtest straddles & strangles), but I wonder if this project is still active and any plans of the release 2.0 that you mentioned here?

Best Regards
Dharma

Hi Dharma,

Thanks for your interest in this library, unfortunately I am currently no working on this project as I have less time to devote to it. However, it is not difficult to simulate straddles and strangles individually without this library, I can send you some sample code in SQL which you can easily translate into to Python or use as is.

Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Michael,

Similarly to Dharma, I am primarily interested in back testing strangles. Can you please elaborate on how to back test strangles?

Regards,
Bryan

hi @bryanbmb @dikshita84, @cooldharma , my time has freed, and I am working on an update to optopsy that will allow you to backtest strangles/straddles. Please stay tuned for V2.

hi @bryanbmb @dikshita84 @cooldharma I have release v2.0.0b2, which add support for straddles and strangles. Please give that version a try and let me know if you encounter any issues.
