Platform Features Release: New Option Chain Functionality/Appearance, Responsive P/L Graph

Features Release Notes:
New Option Chain Functionality/Appearance, Responsive P/L Graph

Announcing the latest features/functions updates, additions or edits to the trading platform:

Option Chain Functionality/Display has been revamped to allow users to control which information to view and increase responsiveness.  Symbols, such as SPY and SPX, will load noticeably faster.  An incorporated Dashboard provides a snapshot of current activity allowing users to make more informed decisions.
Responsive P/L Graph adjusts when the slide bar between Bid and Mid price is adjusted.   This is especially helpful when the spread is considerable.


Option Chain Display/Functionality

Select Expiration Cycles

The redesigned Option Chain allows users control of what Expirations to view instead of the platform defaulting to a cycle approximately 30 days out.

Click on the Options Tab from Research.
A window with available Expirations will appear along with a Dashboard with pertinent information (Volume, IV, OI, Earnings Date, etc) for more informed decision-making.

As a bonus, this structure allows data to load faster – especially helpful for those symbols with large option chains.


Responsive P/L Graph

The P/L graph on the Options Tab is responsive to adjustments made to the trade set up for the entry Net Debit/Net Credit.

Note, the smaller the spread between the Bid/Ask, the smaller the graph adjustment will be.

The example illustrates a large spread to better illustrate this feature update.
