One Desk per Underlying

With Options Desk, you can create an unlimited number of desks, each dedicated to a single underlying.

This approach allows you to:

  • Separate analysis by instrument

  • Quickly switch between markets without reconfigurations

Multiple Expirations per Desk

Within each desk, you can display up to 3 Option Chains with different expirations.

This allows you to:

  • Compare option structures across expirations

  • Identify differences in volatility and positioning

Clear Option Chain View

Options Desk enables you to analyze the Option Chain in a clear and organized way, highlighting:

  • Strike

  • Calls and Puts side by side

  • Open Interest and Volume

  • Implied Volatility (IV), Theoretical Price

  • Greeks (Gamma, Delta, Theta, Rho, Vega)

You can choose which columns to display.

It is also possible to control the amount of data shown and the refresh frequency, finding the right balance between:

  • Data responsiveness

  • Platform performance

Options Desk allows you to create and manage options strategies directly from the platform:

  • Up to 3 strategies per desk, each in a separate grid.

  • Combine Call and Put orders to build complex strategies.

  • Insert orders directly from the Option Chain by clicking on Bid or Ask.

  • Send all strategy orders to the Simulator or the Broker.
