What exactly do I see in the pre-trade payoff screen?
Before you place any strategy trade, readymade or custom - the platform shows you a complete risk summary:
- Payoff chart - P&L curve plotted against all possible expiry prices of the underlying.
- Maximum profit - the highest possible gain and at what price it is achieved.
- Maximum loss - the worst-case outcome, which is capped for defined-risk strategies.
- Probability of profit - the likelihood that an options trade expires profitably for the trader.
- Breakeven point(s) - the exact price(s) where the trade crosses from loss to profit.
- Funds required - the capital needed to place the full strategy.
No other screen in standard options trading gives you this complete a picture before entry.
