Position Grid

The Position Grid displays options positioning data in a two-dimensional heatmap, with strike prices on the rows and expiration dates on the columns. Each cell is color-coded by position size, giving you a bird's-eye view of the entire options surface. This view shows the total options position size (calls + puts).

What This View Shows

The grid represents the complete picture of how positions are distributed across both strike and expiration dimensions simultaneously. Green cells indicate positive options positions, red cells indicate negative options positions, and color intensity reflects the magnitude. A dashed horizontal line marks the current underlying price.
