How to Read Prices in Sheets
Every sheet shows the net price of a multi-leg options strategy. Here's how to interpret them:
Net credit — you receive premium upfront when entering this spread.
Net debit — the spread costs money upfront but can profit if the market moves.
The row closest to current spot price — your reference for at-the-money strategies.
Each column = different offset (wing distance). Wider offsets = different risk/reward.
Combo Butterflies
Shows 8 pre-configured butterfly spread tables simultaneously, each with a different offset:span combination.
Use shift arrows at the top to move all 8 tables up/down together to explore strikes further from ATM.
Ratio Spreads (Call & Put)
Strategies where you buy 1 lot and sell N lots at a different strike.
Call Ratio
Shown for strikes ATM-5 to ATM+10
Put Ratio
Shown for strikes ATM-10 to ATM+5
Each column shows the price at a different offset distance. Offset of 100 = sell strike is 100 points from buy strike. Adjust min/max offset controls to show wider or narrower spreads.
Butterfly (1:2:1)
The classic butterfly spread — all same-type options (all calls or all puts).
Custom Butterfly
Same concept as the standard butterfly, but you can choose your own ratio — create unbalanced butterflies with skewed risk/reward profiles.
Use the ratio selectors to experiment with different configurations and compare prices in real time.
Pulse (1:3:3:1)
A 4-leg condor-style spread — wider than a butterfly, providing a broader profit zone.
Pulse spreads capture theta decay across a wider range while maintaining defined risk. Available for both calls and puts.
Charts
The Charts view displays 4 real-time charts in a grid layout. Each chart can be expanded.
Tracks synthetic futures price and call-put difference. Shows Spot, C-P, and Synthetic Spot. Adjust data interval (1s to 5m).
Shows IV skew across strikes. Identify if calls or puts are relatively expensive.
Market-maker gamma positioning across strikes. Large gamma levels act as magnets or barriers for price.
Use arrow buttons on each chart to expand in any direction. Click X to collapse back to the grid.
Options Chain
In the left panel below the symbol selector, you'll find the full Options Chain table — all available strikes with their call and put prices, OI, volume, and Greeks for the selected symbol and expiry.
