PayoffGraphs
This table shows you the payoff profile for basic long/short call and put options.
You change the selection from the dropdown menu under the inputs table.
The P&L is calculated assuming the contract size of the option is 100.
OptionStrategies
The Strategies tab lets you enter combinations of option positions so you can view the payoff/risk graphs.
The underlying data is to be entered into the white cells in column P.
Enter the option/stock legs in columns B through to K.
For Type, just enter "c" for call options, "p" for put options and "s" for stock/futures position.
You don't need to enter a market price; you can use your own input volatility in row 9.
However, if you do enter a market price the sheet will calculate the Implied Volatility from those prices.
If you are going to do simulations on the date by using the Toggle arrows, then you will need to copy over
the implied vols into the model vols by using the CopyVols button.
