CHART MODULE11. In order to open the Chart module for the underlying stock, select Trading > New Chart. Select the underlying Stock of your choice.
To select an instrument use the “Instrument” field at the top left hand side of the module.
To find a strike price look at the centre of the screen.
Use the arrows at the centre of the module to scroll up and down between strike levels. To centre the board at the current at-the-money (ATM) strike level, click Reset (ATM) at the top of the module. Multiple strike prices may be displayed using the “Strikes” drop down menu.
To trade, click the price button for the strike and maturity you want. The Contract Options Trade module appears with all the information pre-populated. Verify the details and click Place Order.
Each row in the grid contains information and price buttons specific for that combination of strike level and maturity date. The prices update in real time. As markets move, prices at new strike levels will appear and become active. Market moves will result in some old strike levels periodically being removed, as they become either deeply in or deeply out-of-the-money.
