Portfolio Builder

Build your own derivatives portfolio by combining different positions in the underlying asset, futures contracts, and options. Adjust the common parameters and add multiple assets to see how they interact.

Key Concepts

  • Payoff (blue line): The value of the position at maturity based on the underlying asset price (\(S_T\)), not accounting for initial costs. For a long underlying position, this represents the market value (\(S_T\) × quantity). For a short underlying position, this represents the negative of the market value (-(\(S_T\) × quantity)), reflecting the liability.
  • Profit/Loss (red line): The actual profit or loss, accounting for the initial cost or premium paid/received
  • Option Style: All options are assumed to be European-style, meaning they can only be exercised at expiration.
  • Future Price (F₀): Automatically calculated using the cost-of-carry model: \(F_0 = S_0 e^{(r-q)T}\).
  • Dividend Yield (q): The dividend yield is accounted for in the pricing of options and futures, and is also included in the profit/loss calculation for direct positions in the underlying asset.
  • Transaction Costs: In real-world scenarios, transaction costs (e.g., commissions, bid-ask spreads) would reduce actual profits and increase losses.
