The Interactive Brokers Option Strategy Lab is a sophisticated analytical tool the analyzes the investor\u2019s market predictions and identifies potentially profitable option strategies based on those predictions. The Option Strategy lab can be accessed on the Trader Workstation (TWS) by going to the \u201cNew Window\u201d icon in the top left of the screen, scrolling down to the Option Tools area, highlighting Option Analysis and clicking on \u201cOption Strategy Lab\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"option<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The strategy scanner will appear where the investor can set up their forecast by entering the symbol, then defining their market view by choosing the forecast timeframe (expiration), selecting either price or volatility, then selecting the predicted action. For price the investor can choose between drop, rise, be rangebound, or move at least and then enter the amount in percentage or dollar format. If the investor chooses volatility they choose between drop or rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"strategy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The results can be filtered by premium, delta, strike, and expiration. Once ready the investor clicks on the Done button at the bottom of the screen and the Option Strategy Lab Screen will populate with recommended strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"option<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Option Strategy Lab consists of six areas. At the top is a table of the strategies that may be suitable given the investors predictions. The investor can check off up to five strategies they would like displayed on the Strategic Performance Comparison chart. The table also shows several data points such as expected profit, probability of profit, maximum loss, and maximum gain. The probabilities can be adjusted to see either market implied or based on the investors forecast. It\u2019s important to note that the investor can always edit the scanner by clicking on the edit scanner button in the top left-hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"edit<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next area consists of the Strategy Adjustment\/Order Entry Panel on the left and the Price Target Chart on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Strategy Adjustment\/Order entry panel will automatically populate with the last strategy that the investor clicks on. It allows the investor to adjust the action, ratio, expiration, strike, and right of the strategy legs as well as delete a leg and adjust the order size and price. When they are ready the investor clicks the \u201cSubmit Order\u201d to send the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"strategy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Price Target Chart is a visual representation of the price forecast with three key indicators: yellow showing the current price, red showing the target price(s) based on the investors forecast, and the blue shaded area representing the estimated price range based on one standard deviation. The vertical line can be dragged to show the range at different dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"spy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bottom third of the Strategy Lab consist of the Strategy Performance Comparison Chart and the Strategy Performance Detail charts. The Strategy Performance Comparison supports comparison of up to five strategies simultaneously (selected in the table) and can be adjusted for different metrics including P&L, Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, and Rho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"strategy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Strategy Performance Detail Charts provide a close-up view of the selected strategy in which the investor can choose from the seven metrics and see a comparison between today and expiration day values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
