PatOff Chart for the TTF Sep-25 40/50 Call Spread
π Description
The Option Payoff Chart visualizes the P&L of an options strategy across different underlying prices, while dynamically incorporating sensitivities such as Greeks, time decay, and volatility shifts. It provides an intuitive view of the tradeβs payoff landscape β both at expiry and at the current time β to support deeper understanding and better decision-making.
This chart helps evaluate how an options structure performs under different market conditions by plotting:
- Real-time payoff
- Payoff at expiry
- Greek exposure (e.g., Delta, Vega)
- Dynamic changes in underlying, volatility, and time
It is a powerful tool to understand directional bias, risk zones, and how Greek exposures shift across the price curve.
