Introducing the Position Analyzer: Roll, Repair, or Hold?
The question every open position eventually asks
You logged a trade. It's down, or it's up, or the expiry is close and you're not sure what to do next. Most tools stop at "here's your current P&L." That's the wrong altitude for the actual decision, which is forward-looking: what happens if I roll this? What happens if I turn it into a spread? Is my original thesis even still worth anything from here?
The Position Analyzer opens from any open position in the Positions tab and answers all three, using the exact same real chain data and Black-Scholes engine as the rest of OptionScope.
What's inside
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic value, today's theta burn, and how many days of extrinsic value are left at the current burn rate.
Same strike, later expiries — real net cost to roll and the new breakeven for each, side by side.
For long positions: sell a further-OTM strike at the same expiry to lower your breakeven, with the new capped max profit shown honestly.
Tell it your price target and how confident you are; it compares expected value under your thesis against the market's own risk-neutral odds, for holding, closing, or every roll candidate.
Why it doesn't just tell you the answer
Every screen in the Position Analyzer ends with the same posture: this is calculation, not a recommendation. Your risk tolerance, your account size, and your reasons for being in the trade in the first place aren't things a formula can see. What the formula can do is make sure you're not rolling blind or guessing at a breakeven — the math is there, real and complete, and the decision stays yours.
