How to Use This Visualizer

  • Load Data: Enter a ticker symbol (like SPY) and click "Load" to fetch the current option chain.
  • Set Your Budget: Enter your total investment amount (e.g., $5,000). The tool automatically calculates the maximum number of contracts you can buy for each option.
  • Select Strategies: Click the + ADD button on the options you want to compare. You can add multiple strikes to see which one performs best.
  • Simulate Time Decay: Drag the "Simulation Date" slider to see how your profit curve changes as the expiration date approaches. Watch how the lines "sag" due to Theta decay.
  • Check the Matrix: Use the table at the bottom to see the exact dollar amount you would make or lose if the stock price moves up or down by specific percentages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What math model is used?

We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate theoretical option prices. It calculates the future value based on the stock price, strike price, time to expiration, risk-free interest rate, and implied volatility.

Why doesn't this match my broker exactly?

Real-world prices are determined by supply and demand. This tool provides a theoretical "fair value" estimate. Actual market prices may differ due to bid-ask spreads, liquidity issues, or changes in Implied Volatility (IV) which this tool assumes remains constant.

Does this account for dividends?

Currently, this simple model does not factor in dividend yield, which can affect the pricing of call options for high-dividend stocks.
