How To Read A Risk Profile

Translating the different components of a risk chart

Placing The First Leg

Each leg of a strategy is represented by it's own symbol:
Figure 2
A long shares position only has 1 leg. When we buy shares (XX), we must pay the current market value. The share symbol is placed at the current share price ($X) with a P/L of $0.
Figure 3
Below the symbol you'll see a flag that indicates the number of units, and the price per unit. In this example, we bought 100 shares for $X per share.
