This is the repository of the Options Trading Platform MOSKVANT.
I set out to build an ‘Options Trading Platform’, but what is an ‘options trading platform’? It is an interface that gives the user the ability to visualize and analyze information about options, and execute trades with these options. Thus, the platform has two main tasks: analysis, and execution.
Analysis for all options listed on the MOEX is available at MOSKVANT. The user can visualize information about options and about the market as a whole in a dynamic way.
Execution refers to the mechanics behind allowing a user to exchange funds for options contracts, storing those contracts in the user account, and assigning the appropriate variation in margin resulting from this exchange.
This is usually done by connecting through an exchange directly or via a broker. In order to allow execution for the users of this platform, the brokerage service MAIA was built.
Both the options trading platform, MOSKVANT, and the brokerage interface, MAIA, are still in development and testing stages. Soon, execution of contracts will be enabled by connecting both platforms.
