Chain views

Pick the view that fits the question: model a trade strike by strike, read one side plainly, compare dates, or find a strike by delta.

Note

Matrix and Focus show one expiration at a time. T-Chain compares dates. Strike step, Legs and Sides apply to Matrix only; Focus and the Delta chain have fixed columns.

Open the Chain view button in the toolbar. Views are grouped Core and Perspectives.

• Matrix: the full grid. Calls | strike | puts with every column you enable and a − / + model column on each side.
• Focus: one side, for a plain read. Strike, Pos, Sell · Model · Buy, Bid, Ask, Breakeven (where a buyer at the mark breaks even at expiration), Profit chance (the modeled chance a buyer ends profitable) and Today (premium change since yesterday’s close).
• T-Chain: the broker classic. Calls | strike | puts with expirations as collapsible groups, so you can compare dates in one scroll. Chain settings → Strikes per group: ±5, ±10 (default), ±20 or All.
• Delta chain (a perspective): rows are target deltas (5, 10, 16, 25, 30, 40, 50 by default), calls above the spot line and puts below. Columns are the expirations you tick with the workspace toolbar’s Expirations button; the trade page’s chain has none. Each cell shows the nearest strike with its delta, mid and IV. Click one to open it in Matrix.

Delta chain’s Chain settings hold one field, Delta levels: different whole numbers from 1 to 99, separated by commas, the same in every workspace. Reset defaults restores them.
