Chart Period Controls

Interval and Timeframe are now set independently, giving you more flexibility when setting up your charts.

What's new

• Interval determines how each bar or candle is displayed — Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 1 Min through 60 Min, 2 Hours and 4 Hours.
• Timeframe determines how much historical data is displayed — 1 Day through 10 Years.
• Extend By 10, 30, 60 or 90 periods is now available within the Timeframe menu.
• Your selections are sticky — they remain in place until you change them.

How the two menus work together

Compatible selections are shown normally, while unavailable combinations are faded. Selecting a 1 Min Interval, for example, allows Timeframes of 1 Day, 3 Days or 1 Week.

Helpful hint

Save your favorite Interval and Timeframe combinations as Chart Profiles for quick access. You can overwrite an existing profile or save the settings as a new one — for example, “Weekly 1 Year.”

Six days later the $528.66 target was reached and the close executed at $528.67, and the $490.90 stop was cancelled automatically. A planned Reward/Risk of 2.01 came in at 2.02.

Risk & Return

For this $10 bull put spread: max profit $120 against max risk $880, held 22 days for $5.45 per day and a 13.6% return on risk. Cushion shows how far below the break-even point the trade reached.

Greeks & IV

Metric	What it tells you
Net Delta	Directional exposure — roughly what the position gains or loses per $1 move in the stock.
Net Theta	Premium in dollars per day that the position collects or pays for each day it is held.
Net Vega	What the position gains or loses per one-point change in implied volatility.
Net Gamma	How fast Delta itself moves as the stock moves — negative for credit spreads and short premium.
Trade IV	The implied volatility of your own legs — what you actually sold or bought.
Stock IV	The underlying's mean implied volatility, with 30-day historical volatility shown beneath it.
IV − HV	Volatility risk premium — how far implied sat above or below what the stock has actually been doing.
IV Rank	Where implied volatility sat within its own one-year range, 0–100.

Strategy Metrics on the Option Chain

Build a multi-leg strategy on the Option Chain and the figures that decide whether it is worth taking are calculated as you go.

The callout bar sits directly beneath the legs and recalculates as you add, remove or reprice them — so you can weigh a structure before committing to it. Below it, the payoff diagram plots profit and loss across the price range, with a separate curve for each date between today and expiration.

What the callout bar reports

Reward/Risk on the Order Ticket

The Reward/Risk ratio you set from the chart now carries through to the Order Ticket, so it stays in view while you finalize the order.

Set it from the chart

Click Trade from the chart to set up a Bracket Order. Set a Profit Target and Stop Loss around your entry price, and the dialog reports the resulting Risk, Reward and Rwd:Risk.

Then finalize on the ticket

The Order Ticket now carries that same figure as Reward To Risk, printed with the order summary — so it stays in front of you while you review, stage or submit, rather than being left behind on the chart.
