Opční strategie a analýza desktopové aplikace pro obchodování s opcemi

The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the Tastyworks desktop application designed for option trading strategies. The aim of the thesis is to provide readers with clear instructions on how to work with the platform and to demonstrate useful strategies for option contracts trading. The aim is achieved by using the methods of analysis, description and comparison. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. At first, the fundamental terms and characteristics of options are defined. The next part is focused on specific option strategies presented from a theoretical and practical point of view and various model situations that may occur in trading. The practical part deals with the detailed analysis of the Tastyworks application and the emphasis is on compatibility with operating systems, platform security and trading fees. Furthermore, the individual sections, which are necessary for the smooth use of the platform, are analysed. The thesis includes a practical example of real trade, which follows the individual application sections. This part is also focused on the method of selection and implementation of a specific option strategy. Subsequently, other competing applications are compared with the analysed platform while the Weighted Sum Approach is used for evaluation. Based on the analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the Tastyworks application are defined. The individual parts of the thesis are also supplemented with recommendations for trading options in practice.
