The options chain and options orders

The options chain loads inside the trade desk with strike and expiry filters, live bid/ask, volume, open interest and the Greeks. Your filter choices persist between visits so you land back where you left off.

Working the chain quickly

• Filter by expiry first, then narrow strikes around the money.
• Use the keyboard to move up and down strikes and across expiries without leaving the chain.
• Quotes stream live during market hours; outside them you'll see the last known values.
• Click a contract to load it straight into the order ticket.

Payoff and breakeven

Each options position in your holdings has an interactive payoff chart showing profit, loss and breakeven across the underlying's price range, so you can see the shape of the trade rather than just the current mark.
