Risk/Reward 1.1 Almost Out
Risk/Reward 1.1 is currently being reviewed by Apple and should be available by the end of the week.
This version allows you to do the calculation for a long or short purchase. The interface has been updated with two new buttons — “Calc: Short” and “Calc: Long” — which replace the one “Calculate” button. See the screenshot for the example.
You can do one calculation, then go back and do the other if you want. I debated putting the results for both on the results page, but thought it would be too cluttered, so I opted for the two button option.
The next version (1.2), which will be out in another few weeks, will have a preferences section where you can save default values for any of the fields.
Risk/Reward 1.0.1 Now Out
Apple finally published Risk/Reward 1.0.1 on Feb 4th. This is the write up for the new version:
In version 1.0.1, the term “Trailing Stop” has been changed to “Max Loss/Share” because some users of the application felt that the application is more about protecting against an initial loss than about locking in profits (which is what a Trailing Stop is really for). So, semantically, “What are you willing to lose per share traded?” is more correct when performing this calculation.
Also, in 1.0.1, Info buttons have been added to the right of each field. Just tap on the button and info about the field, including an example, will show up in an alert view.
The next version (due out around the end of Feb./beginning of March) will have two new options: 1) Calculation for when you want to short a stock, 2) Calculation for when you don’t know how much stock you want to buy, but you know how much money you want to spend, and the maximum amount of that money you are willing to loose.
Thanks to everyone who has purchased the app so far!!!
