Lavender Trading Solutions provides independently computed option Greeks — dividend-aware, early-exercise-aware, with calibrated forward prices — ticking continuously across the full OPRA universe (~6,000 names). One analytics engine powers three products: a research community on Discord, a production REST API via Gateway, and a professional desktop interface in Terminal. Whatever you use, you're working from the same numbers, computed the same way, every time.

Lavender was founded by Jonathan K. Weedon, a technologist and market architect with more than two decades of experience building professional-grade options systems. He founded Derivix in the mid-2000s — writing every core component himself, from pricing models and volatility engines to risk systems and the full execution stack — before its acquisition by FlexTrade.

He then spent more than a decade gaining deep experience in how elite volatility operations actually work at the highest levels of the industry. He brings that perspective, and the independent vision that has driven his career from the start, to Lavender Trading Solutions.

Lavender is built for options and volatility traders, quantitative researchers, and developers whose P&L depends on the accuracy of their Greeks — and who know that one source isn't enough.

It is especially relevant for anyone working with American options, dividend-paying underlyings, or strategies where early exercise is a real consideration. It is not a signals service or trade recommendation platform.

Most platforms compute greeks using Black-Scholes or simplified models with continuous dividend yield assumptions. These work reasonably well in normal conditions but produce materially wrong hedge ratios near ex-dates, deep ITM, and for short-dated American options where early exercise is a real consideration.

Lavender uses discrete dividend modeling, explicit early exercise handling, and calibrates the implied borrow rate per expiry — enforcing put-call parity and producing consistent call and put greeks even in hard-to-borrow names.

If your current provider already handles these correctly, running Lavender gives you an independent second source. Where two good models agree, you have confirmation. Where they diverge, you have a signal worth investigating.

No. Lavender is an analytics and decision-support system designed to work alongside your existing brokers and execution relationships. It provides independent Greeks and risk analytics — it does not execute trades or act as a broker in any capacity.

No. Lavender provides analytics, models, and tools so you can make better-informed decisions yourself. It does not provide trade signals, investment advice, or recommendations of any kind.
