The Snapshot feature gives you the ability to compare up to three scenarios in one view without having to change screens or erase previous setups. You can even submit a trade from this part of the platform!

  1. From the Calls+Puts chain (as well as “Calls” or “Puts”) enter the initial trade position.
  2. Next click one of the camera icons: The New button and two camera (snapshot) icons
  3. Repeat the first step using the Rolling Icons to adjust the initial position to a new scenario:The rolling-icon toolbar with the clear/reset X
  4. Click the 2nd camera icon & repeat the above steps for the last trade comparison.

Note: The position lines are color coded to match the Snapshot (or New) icon.

P/L Graph annotated: enter your position then click the Snapshot icon; the icon, graph lines, and legend are color-coded; enter the next position or use the Rolling Icons and repeat
P/L Graph annotated: add a third comparison by clicking New, and toggle the data points on the graph by clicking any date in the legend

Once you decide on the optimal position, click ‘Trade’ from the P&L Graph and you’ll be taken to the Order Ticket of your brokerage account with the option information auto-filled.
