Strategies

Strategy Builder

Build an options strategy and see its profit graph before you trade.

Pick an underlying and an expiry, then build a strategy from a ready-made template, your open positions, saved strategies or drafts. Everything is calculated in your browser, so you can change a strike and see the result at once.

What you can do

• 12 ready-made strategies in Bullish, Bearish, Neutral and Others, and “Add trades” for straddles, strangles, a strikes table and futures.
• Results: maximum profit and loss (with the share of your funds), break-even, risk / reward, chance of profit, time and intrinsic value.
• Funds and margin estimate, so you see what the strategy needs before you place it.
• A payoff graph with open-interest bars, a payoff table, a P&L table, Greeks and a strategy chart. Sliders move the target price and date.
• Add to Drafts to save it without placing anything. Trade All opens a two-step window: name and protect it (at market or limit orders, stop-loss and target), then review and place.
• A placed strategy appears on Positions > Strategies with its fill prices and live P&L.

Note. When the market is closed option contracts have no price, so these tools show estimated prices and say so.
