What you see​

Pick a commodity and the sheet stacks four tiles, each with a CALL and a PUT table. The ATM (at-the-money) strike row, closest to the futures price, is highlighted.

Values are net premium in points: positive is a net credit, negative a net debit.

Custom Butterfly​

A three-leg butterfly with a choice of ratio: 1:2:1, 1:3:2, 1:4:3 or 1:5:4. For row strike K and wing W, the Buy cell is:

  • 1:2:1 (K is the centre): Buy 1 at K − W, Sell 2 at K, Buy 1 at K + W.
  • Other ratios a:b:c (K is the first leg): for calls, Buy a at K, Sell b at K + W, Buy c at K + 2W. For puts, Buy a at K, Sell b at K − W, Buy c at K − 2W.

The Sell cell is the same legs in reverse. The controls are Ratio, Strike Gap, Range (slides the 4-column window of wing widths) and Wings (the step between columns). The table always shows exactly 4 wing columns. The ↑ and ↓ buttons on each table move the call and put strike windows separately.

Cross Butterfly​

On MCX symbols the combo butterfly is titled CROSS BUTTERFLY. It prices a call butterfly and a put butterfly together as one six-leg position. MCX shows 5 tables, each with its own span and offset, and one shift control moves all of them.

Ratio​

A two-leg ratio spread. For row strike K, offset W and ratio 1:N, the Buy cell is Buy 1 at K and Sell N at K + W for calls, or K − W for puts. The Sell cell is the reverse. The CE and PE ratios are set separately, from 1:0.5 to 1:10 in steps of 0.5. On MCX the Range control slides a window of exactly 4 offset columns.

Pulse 1:3:3:1​

A four-leg spread across four equally spaced strikes. For row strike K and width W, the Buy cell on calls is: Sell 1 at K − W, Buy 3 at K, Sell 3 at K + W, Buy 1 at K + 2W. On puts the strikes are K − 2W, K − W, K and K + W with the same 1, 3, 3, 1 pattern. The Sell cell is the reverse.
