What is a payoff curve?

A payoff curve serves as a visual depiction illustrating the potential results and associated payouts derived from a specific strategy. It showcases the profit and loss (P&L) outcomes across various potential underlying price movements, typically focusing on the scenario at the strategy's expiry. The underlying price is mapped on the X-axis, while the Y-axis represents the potential profit or loss. Analysing these curves enables the identification of crucial strategy elements like the breakeven point, maximum P&L, options premium, and other essential insights that aid in understanding the strategy's performance.The interactive payoff graphs provided by uTrade Algos dynamically consider factors such as the underlying asset's price, options contract implied volatility, and selected contract expiry.
