OptionVue Is Raising Their Prices
I stopped using OptionEtics Platinum in 2006 and switched to OptionVue software.
It wasn’t cheap.
I think I paid over $3000 with the annual maintenance. The BackTrader software was a one-time purchase versus the annual fee it is today. I was happy to only have to pay the $399/year STAR maintenance package to keep my software humming along with delayed quotes.
Dan Harvey told me a few days ago in our trading group that OptionVue was raising their prices on January 1, 2015. I didn’t get the email announcing this so I contacted Len Yates to get a copy, which they sent to me. I pasted the entire email in a forum post to discuss this price increase in our forums.
