Transcript

To place a trade, point at a strike in the option chain. Buy and sell buttons appear, on the call side and on the put side.

Press B to buy one lot, or S to sell. You get the last traded price at that minute.

Your position appears with its entry price and its running profit and loss. To trade more, change the number of lots right here.

Move the clock, and the profit and loss follows the market, minute by minute.

To close the trade, press Exit. With more than one lot, choose how many to close. It is booked at that minute's price.
