Live P&L Preview for Spreads

When you build a multi leg option strategy on the Options screen, Funded with Flow shows a live profit and loss preview that updates in real time as you add legs, change strikes, or adjust quantity. It lets you see the shape of a trade before you place it.

What the Preview Shows

As you assemble a spread, the preview reflects the combined position, not just one leg. Because a spread caps both the potential gain and the potential loss, you can see those defined boundaries take shape as you add each option. In general, the preview helps you understand:

• Your net debit paid or net credit collected for the strategy.
• The maximum profit and maximum loss the position can reach.
• How profit and loss changes across a range of underlying prices.

This works the same way for the common structures you can build here: verticals, credit and debit spreads, iron condors, and calendars.

How to Read It as You Build

1. Open the Options screen and pick your symbol to load the option chain.
2. Add your first leg, for example buying a call or a put. The preview begins immediately.
3. Add the offsetting leg or legs at the strikes and expiration you want. Each change updates the live profit and loss right away.
4. Set your lots and quantity, then review the preview before you place the order.

Because the preview reacts to real time market data, watching it while you nudge strikes is a fast way to compare setups and understand a trade's risk and reward before committing.

What Affects the Preview

The numbers you see reflect current prices, so a quote moving will move the preview. Live data is included on every paid challenge, and every new user gets a 7 day real time market data trial to start.

How many lots and contracts you can carry in a spread is a plan rule, not a fixed number. Contract, lot, and position size limits vary by plan, so check the details on your account or compare tiers on the Pricing page before scaling a position.

Building a few spreads and watching the preview move is the best way to get comfortable with defined risk trades. For account specific questions, email [email protected].
