Since the web calculator is offline the script no longer works. Here is what I did, in case you are interested in making the integration work again, or in some other way. Requires: Firefox Greasemonkey add on for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 Script: http://datasurfer.googlepages.com/straddlecalcyahoo.user.js Example Page: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=LEH Instructions: Choose the radio buttons matching the strike prices you want to model. Change the other fields as desired. Click the Calculate! button I made one for Morningstar Options as well, but it didn't work all the time I made a Greasemonkey script to mash finance.yahoo with your online options calculator.
