On Chart Trading - Options
Trading directly off your chart is a necessary component, that allows you to circumvent having to open a full-out Option Chain window when looking to place orders, and quick access to the price levels intended for the trades.
With Options, before an option trade can be accessed directly off a chart, a key step is to ensure that the desired option contract is loaded on the chart beforehand. To do this, go to the symbol search menu, and select “Option Lookup” next to the symbol you want to use.
Next, select an appropriate expiry date.
Finally, select whether you want to go with a call or a put next to the desired strike price.
Now, you will see your chart change to this specific option symbol – you are ready to place your trades and manage your orders off this chart! Just right-click anywhere on your chart and you will see Buy and Sell orders to apply.
