Suggestion: show leverage graphically for Options


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a suggestion, I'm a web developer and UX designer.

The derivative of an instrument is important and should always be visible.

CFD instruments could have their leverage (ex. 1:20) listed in the Buy/Sell window (not just in the pdf).

Barriers and Options's derivatives are not linear and depend on multiple factors. Therefore, presenting them graphically makes the most sense.

I suggest that after the user selects a Strike Price for an Option, a new graph appears.

The graph can show 5 lines:
1. The graph of the underlying instrument.
2. The Option Call Buy.
3. The Option Call Sell.
4. The Option Put Buy.
5. The Option Put Sell.

The Options are generated based on the Strike Price selected by the user, and from the point in time when the graph starts. So that all 5 lines on the graph have the same origin.

When the user changes the scope of the graph, the old Option lines remain. This is both for the user's convenience and to prevent a flood of requests to generate new lines. The user can instead generate new Option lines manually at any point.

That actually took me quite a while to both research and figure out.

Happy saturday and best regards,
Joel Boström
