What this page is

The complete playbook of 117 option strategies with a full teaching guide for each — and you can price any of them on the live chain right here.

How to use it

  1. 1Filter by level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced), sentiment (Very Bullish → Very Bearish), IV environment, DTE or C1–C10 class, or just search the name.
  2. 2Tap a strategy name → the 12-section guide opens: what it is, when to use / when NOT, legs & moneyness, live example payoff, 2%-rule lot sizing, entry / SL / target, adjustments, exits, common mistakes.
  3. 3Press "Build" — the strategy is priced on the symbol/expiry chosen at the top of this page and the payoff appears right here (no jump back to the Builder).

How to read it

  • Sentiment pills on the cards: VB / B / N / Be / VBe — the market view the structure needs.
  • "2-EXP" badge = calendar/diagonal that needs the next expiry too; "Nd" tags on legs show far-month legs.
  • The lot calculator inside the guide uses your capital and the 2% rule — change capital once, it is remembered.
  • Recipes pick strikes by moneyness, not by liquidity — so every built leg shows Liquid / Thin / Illiquid, and if any leg is illiquid a red banner offers "Use liquid strikes" (nearest strike that actually trades). Accept knowingly or switch in one click.

💡 Pro tip:Coming from the Screener? The Playbook opens pre-filtered to that stock's sentiment, so you only see structures that fit the trend.

  • "2-EXP" badge = calendar/diagonal jise agli expiry bhi chahiye; legs par "Nd" tag far-month legs dikhata hai.
  • Guide ke andar lot calculator aapki capital aur 2% rule use karta hai — capital ek baar badlo, yaad rehti hai.
  • Recipes strikes moneyness se chunti hain, liquidity se nahi — isliye har bane leg par Liquid / Thin / Illiquid dikhta hai, aur koi leg illiquid ho to laal banner "Liquid strikes use karo" deta hai (paas ki strike jahan sach me trade hota hai). Samajh ke accept karo ya ek click me switch.
