Add legs from the chain

Clicking the chain is the fastest way to build a trade: each click models one contract and the legs appear in the trade builder and the risk graph.

Note

A bid or ask with no live quote cannot be clicked. An estimate (≈) is valued in the risk graph but a click on it adds nothing until a live quote arrives.

• Click a Bid to sell one contract and an Ask to buy one. Each click adds one more; there is no modifier-click for larger sizes.
• Or use the − / + buttons of the model column.
• Or click the quantity and type one.

To correct a quantity, use − / + or type a new one. To shift a modeled leg to another strike or date, see Move modeled legs.

If a quote is greyed or marked as an estimate, see A chain quote is greyed or marked as an estimate.

If a click adds nothing, see Clicking the chain adds no legs.
