Lines and layers

Risk graph settings control which curves and overlays the graph draws. Open them with the sliders button in the toolbar, or right-click the chart for the same controls plus Reset zoom.

• Lines: 1 to 5 (default 3). Line 1 is always T+0. With Trading time, T+1 is the next trading day’s close.
• Spacing: Even spreads the lines from T+0 to expiry. Custom gives each line its own slider. A line’s color dot recolors it; Reset colors restores the defaults.
• Layers: Break-evens (a workspace setting only; a trade page always draws them), Expiration, Table (P&L and Greeks by price under the graph) and Expected move. A trade page starts with Table off, a workspace with it on.
• Update: how often the graph recomputes while quotes move: Off, 100, 200 or 500 ms (default). Off recomputes only when the trade changes.

Note

At most five time lines are drawn. Scenario curve colors are assigned; only the T+ line colors are editable.

Target and Stop lines

A trade page draws a dashed Target or Stop line at the plan’s P&L level, for example “Target +$400” and “Stop −$1,500” on the Sep 23 BWB. A level that is not set, is a percent of a figure the trade lacks (such as % of margin when margin is unknown), or lies outside the visible P&L range draws no line. Workspace graphs draw none.
