Don Fishback has retired… okay, semi-retired.

After more than three decades, ODDS is undergoing another major transformation.

ODDS began as software I wrote shortly after Microsoft launched Windows, back when I packed stacks of 3.5-inch floppy disks into FedEx boxes on my kitchen table. A lot has changed since then—both in technology and in the options markets—but the objective has remained remarkably consistent: use data to help investors make better options decisions.

Today, that work continues with ODDS Analytics.

The newest generation of ODDS incorporates analytical methods I've developed over decades of studying options markets, combined with computing power and data that simply weren't available when this journey began.

And the changes go beyond the technology. “Online” has disappeared from the name. Instead of one large software platform, ODDS Analytics is becoming a collection of focused analytical tools designed to help options traders make better-informed decisions.

So yes, I've retired. Sort of.

I'm spending less time running a software business and more time doing what I've always enjoyed most: studying markets, working with data, and trying to figure out what actually works.

Apparently, I'm not very good at retirement.
