CallWriter’s Calculator and Foreign Stocks
June 23rd, 2007 by John Brasher
CallWriter’s Trade Management Calculator™ is a unique tool for
managing open covered call trades. It show you the immediate profit in closing
the position or the potential result of rolling the short calls down or up (and/or
out). Users assume that the TM calculator only gets stocks from U.S. exchanges,
but this is not the case.
Our TM calculator also gets stock prices from selected foreign exchanges.
Below is a partial list of exchanges that are supported by our calculator.
There are many, such as the Oslo exchange, that I have omitted for brevity’s
sake.

Simply enter the stock’s symbol followed by a period and the exchange’s abbreviation.
For example, for stock FMG traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, you
would enter the symbol as FMG.AX. The calculator generally will not present
non-U.S. options. However, if the options are traded on one of the supported
exchanges, enter the option symbol followed by the exchange’s suffix, and it
may indeed display the option’s price.
