Iron Condor Strategy Analysis
A portfolio manager needed to analyze iron condor spreads across 50 different stocks. Using Sourcetable, they built a model that automatically calculates profit/loss zones, optimal strike selection, and time decay scenarios. The AI assistant helped optimize entry timing based on implied volatility rankings, resulting in a 23% improvement in strategy performance.
Covered Call Optimization
An institutional investor managing a $500M equity portfolio wanted to enhance returns through systematic covered call writing. They used Sourcetable to screen for optimal strike prices and expiration dates, considering dividend schedules and earnings announcements. The integrated backtesting showed which stocks performed best with covered calls, leading to a 180 basis point annual return enhancement.
Volatility Trading Model
A proprietary trading desk needed to identify volatility arbitrage opportunities across different option expirations. Their Sourcetable model compares implied volatility to historical volatility forecasts, identifies mispriced options, and calculates optimal hedge ratios. The automated alerts notify traders when volatility spreads exceed profitable thresholds, capturing 15-20 basis points per trade.
Credit Spread Risk Management
A hedge fund running credit spread strategies across multiple sectors needed better risk monitoring. They built a Sourcetable dashboard that tracks Greeks exposure by sector, monitors correlation between positions, and simulates portfolio performance under stress scenarios. This comprehensive view helped them reduce maximum drawdown by 40% while maintaining target returns.
