OptionHistoryDesk Turns Options Records Into Reproducible Max-Pain Comparisons
A browser-based workspace for inspecting user-owned open-interest snapshots and calculating max pain across matching options expiries.
Field notes
The workspace asks users to supply their own appropriately obtained records rather than drawing from a connected public database. Its stated workflow records the underlying, expiry, snapshot date, multiplier, and source; checks duplicate strikes; and sums intrinsic call and put payouts across observed settlement strikes. The method preserves tied minima and the no-open-interest state, while keeping volume separate from open interest. The page identifies the method as version 1.0.0 and says sources and assumptions are not independently certified.
