<h1>Introduction to the Hedge Submenu</h1> | ||
|
||
The Hedge menu is designed to help the user calculate positions within the selected expiration chain to be directionally neutral. It is worth reviewing reference material, such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_(finance)#Delta_hedging" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> or <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deltahedging.asp" target="_blank">Investopedia</a>, before using this feature set. | ||
|
||
Enter the submenu after choosing the desired <a href="https://openbb-finance.github.io/OpenBBTerminal/terminal/stocks/options/exp/" target="_blank">expiration</a> date by using the command, `hedge`, from the Options menu. | ||

<h2>How to use the Hedge Submenu</h2> | ||
|
||
The first step is to pick the underlying position for the calculation. Scroll the list populated by autocomplete, or type in the choice. | ||

|
||
The strike prices for puts and calls are shown with the `list` command. Use this table to add or remove options from the calculation. | ||
|
||

|
||
Add the first option with the corresponding index number for the strike price, attaching flags for a put and for short, `-s` & `-p`. | ||
|
||

|
||
The `rmv` command removes added options. With an underlying position and two positions added, `sop` will display the results based on the inputs provided. | ||

|
||
`plot` will display an options payoff chart, using the provided values. | ||
