Using the Profit / Loss Graph


The Profit / Loss graph provides an excellent way to visually see what happens to you trade at expiration when the security trades at different prices.  To view the Profit / Loss graph click, click the calculate button with your trade information in the option matrix, then click on the Profit / Loss graph button.

Now you will see the Profit / Loss graph.  The Y-axis represents the profit of your trade and the X-axis represents the price of the underlying asset.

The features of this chart are similar to those of all the charts in Odds Online.  There is a scroll bar at the bottom that allows you to get detailed information about profits, losses, and probability at each price point.  And there is a  Desired Profit field at the top of the graph that allows you to draw a line at a profit target.  For example if you wanted to know the probability of profit and your breakeven range, you would enter 0 in the desired profit field then click on the display button.  Your break evens would then occur where the red line intersects the black one.  You can use the scroll bar to see at what price your trade will break even.
