Portfolio support for stock options with exercise price #101

Open javabrett opened 7 years ago

javabrett commented 7 years ago

Provide a mechanism for storing the value of stock options (as opposed to stock owned) in a portfolio, and including that value in the portfolio.

Stock options will typically have an exercise price (sometimes the value of the stock at the time of grant, sometimes discounted, or sometimes zero). The value of each stock option at any time is the current stock price less the option exercise price.

This could be incorporated into portfolios by allowing an Add Option command, or alternatively by adding a strike/exercise field on each stock purchase, to document the amount "owing" on each share in the option.

Any interest in this feature?

I'm definitely interested myself and I think popularity/use might be surprisingly higher since Robinhood started offering options trading a little while back. If the options can't be tracked by current price that would be fine too, just the ability to put in buy price/date, sell price/date and/or exercise price/date along with the expiry would be amazingly nice as it would mean keeping almost all my investments in one place.
