What-if price, time and volatility
The strip on the graph’s top edge lets you read the curves at a price, a time and a volatility other than today’s, without changing the trade.
- Price: the underlying price to read the curves at.
- Time: T+ sessions, or hours when the front expiration is today.
- Vol: points added to every leg’s IV, from −30 to +50. It reprices the T+ lines and moves PoP and the expected-move bands, because they are measured at the shifted IV. Every leg shifts by the same number of points.
Click a value to type it, drag its label sideways (hold Shift for steps of ten), or use ↑/↓. Clear Price to return it to live.
While any value differs from live, the strip and the graph’s frame turn amber and an amber line marks the projected price beside the live one. With a projected Price, the chain marks the strike nearest it. The reset button (or Esc with the chart focused) returns all three to live. A held trade keeps its recorded entry prices.
Plan an adjustment at a projected price
Section titled “Plan an adjustment at a projected price”Once a scenario has legs, press Adjustment under it to add an empty step after it (↳). With a projection set, a leg you add is priced as if placed at that price, time and vol. The step shows “at 7,590.00” and its costs read “≈” in amber. Commit sends the step’s own legs at today’s quotes. The reset arrow beside “at price” makes the graph price the step that way too.
