Every options strategy has a signature shape. See the profit-and-loss profile of spreads, straddles, and iron condors, and understand exactly where each makes or loses money.

Presets
An option strategy's payoff diagram plots profit or loss against the underlying price at expiration. Combining calls and puts at different strikes shapes the curve — capping risk, capturing volatility, or generating income. Educational tool, not investment advice.

How it works
A payoff diagram plots profit or loss against the underlying price at expiration. Combining long and short calls and puts at different strikes sculpts the curve — bull spreads cap both upside and risk, straddles profit from big moves either way, iron condors earn from a quiet market. Educational tool, not investment advice.
