SpreadWindow™

The SpreadWindow is a graphing tool that displays option spread values in a single window.

With The SpreadWindow - Traders no longer have to look at pages of option quotes or calculate spread prices. The x-axis is the strike price, the color is the expiration month, the y-axis is the settlement quote, triangles are calls and circles are puts.

Market (1) The first step is to choose which futures commodity market to analyze.

Hover (2) To see the position values hover over a triangle(call) or circle(put).

Option Months (3) The color corresponds to option month. The checkboxes allow you to view whichever months you choose.

Underlying Values (4) The underlying contract month and values are displayed to the right of each option month.

Ranging (5) "Dynamic" automatically focuses all windows. Use "Complete" to see all quotes or "Custom" to choose a range.

Window Date (6) The SpreadWindow displays the most recent settlement data. To see an older date modify "Quote Date."

Spread Value (7) Each market has an appropriate default spread size. To change the spread size use the "Spread Value" box.
