​Interactive Brokers will host an online event to help traders understand how changes in price and volatility affect the value and risk of an option. 

"Join us for a webinar on Single Leg Option Trades Analysis hosted by Market Chameleon," the broker wrote on its social media page

According to Interactive Brokers, option analysis is part of the price/risk toolkit and is used to visualize the correlation of price movements with changes in Greek indicators. 

An online event to learn single leg option trading will be held on May 14 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. 

This session is aimed at traders who want to deepen their understanding of single leg options. Experts will discuss effective methods for analyzing these trades and provide strategic insights. 

For traders new to options trading and looking to hone their skills, this webinar will provide valuable insights to help navigate the complexities of the options market. 

Interactive Brokers informs that the Option Analysis Window supports the following features: 

- Create interactive curves to visualize how changes in volatility forecasts, expiration dates, and strike prices affect the value of an option.

- Determine performance at close by increasing implied volatility and decreasing time to expiration.

- Create dynamic curves based on different expiration dates.

- Change strike prices, expiration dates, and exchanges with simple commands.

- View Greek and P&I put-call curves together or separately. 

At the same time, the broker notes that before buying or selling an option, investors should read the article "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options," also known as the Options Disclosure Document (ODD). It explains the features and risks of exchange-traded options. 

Previously, Interactive Brokers provided information on the additional trading opportunities provided by the new Exit Strategies tool.
