Build Options Strategies with Confidence on ArihantPlus

Options strategies are often built to manage risk, define reward potential, or express a market view more efficiently than a single options position.
 

The challenge is that creating these strategies traditionally involves multiple calculations, margin checks, and manual tracking across different screens.
 

On ArihantPlus, you can explore Ready Made strategies based on how you expect the market to move: bullish, bearish, neutral or volatile. 

For traders who understand Greeks and want more control, the ArihantPlus Options Strategy Builder lets you create custom multi-leg strategies directly from the Option Chain. 
 

You can add legs, check key metrics, view margin requirements, and place the complete strategy from one screen.
 

The result is a faster and more structured trading experience.

Before executing any strategy, ArihantPlus gives you visibility into the numbers that matter most.
As you build your position, the platform automatically displays:

• Maximum Profit
• Maximum Loss
• Margin Requirement
• Available Funds
• Strategy Summary

This allows you to understand the risk-reward profile of your trade before committing capital.

ArihantPlus gives traders two simple ways to start with options strategies.

You can either discover a preset strategy based on your market view or create a custom strategy directly from the Option Chain.
 

Discover Preset Strategies Based on Your Market View

If you are not sure which strategy to build, ArihantPlus helps you begin with a simple discovery flow.
 

The app shows an interactive card that asks how you expect the selected index to move. You can choose whether your view is bullish, bearish, neutral, or volatile.
 

For example, if you believe the market may move down, you can select Bearish. The app will then show you a list of relevant bearish strategies.

These strategies are organised into four broad categories:

• Bullish
• Bearish
• Neutral
• Volatile

Under each category, you can explore specific strategy types such as Buy Put, Sell Call, Bear Call Spread, and more.

You can also change the index and expiry based on your preference. Once you select an index and expiry, the relevant strategies are displayed accordingly.

An information icon is available to help users understand what each category means. This gives traders a clearer starting point without requiring them to build every strategy manually from scratch.

Analyse Every Preset Strategy Before You Choose

Once you select a preset strategy, ArihantPlus shows the complete strategy view with maximum profit, maximum loss, required margin, available margin, Greeks, POP, RR Ratio, and payoff graph.

The payoff graph helps you understand how the strategy may behave as the underlying index moves. This gives traders better visibility before they decide to place, edit, or customise the strategy.

Create Your Own Strategy from the Option Chain

For traders who want full control, ArihantPlus also allows custom strategy creation from the Option Chain.
 

Step 1: Enable Strategy Mode

Open the Option Chain and switch on Strategy Mode.

Step 2: Add Strategy Legs

Select the contracts you want to include in your strategy.

Each leg represents one specific option contract, based on:

• Index
• Strike price
• Expiry date
• Call or Put
• Buy or Sell action

Currently, traders can add up to 6 legs in one strategy. ArihantPlus recalculates maximum profit, maximum loss, net premium, and margin requirement instantly after every change.

Step 3: Review Key Metrics

Before placing the order, review the important numbers:

• Required Margin
• Available Funds
• Maximum Profit
• Maximum Loss

All calculations update automatically as you make changes.

Step 4: Save or Execute

Once your strategy is ready, you can choose to:

• Execute it immediately
• Save it for later
• Edit it further before placing the order
   

Step 5: Track Performance

After execution, you can monitor the strategy from the Positions tab.
 

Here, ArihantPlus shows the combined exposure and real-time P&L of the complete strategy, instead of making you track each leg separately.

Margin plays a critical role in options trading, particularly when strategies involve short option positions.
 

The Options Strategy Builder continuously calculates margin requirements as you build your strategy, ensuring complete visibility before order placement.

If the required margin exceeds available funds, the order cannot be executed until adjustments are made.
 

This helps traders plan positions more effectively and avoid unexpected funding requirements.

ArihantPlus also helps traders identify unhedged option positions.

If a strategy contains naked option exposure, the platform highlights the risk and suggests adding a hedge before proceeding.

The decision remains entirely with the trader, but the additional visibility encourages more informed decision-making.

Not every strategy needs to be executed immediately.
 

Sometimes market conditions are still developing, or you may want additional time to evaluate the setup.
The Options Strategy Builder allows you to save strategies and return to them later.
 

Saved strategies can be modified anytime by:

• Changing strikes
• Adding or removing legs
• Adjusting quantities
• Refining the overall structure

Updated risk metrics and margin requirements are calculated instantly after every change.

Strategies are currently focused on indices because index options generally have higher liquidity and active participation, which is important for smoother execution of multi-leg strategies. 

And to keep strategy management simple, ArihantPlus automatically groups strategies based on the index under which they were created.

For example:

• Nifty strategies appear under Nifty
• Sensex strategies appear under Sensex

This makes it easier to locate and manage strategies across multiple instruments.

For traders who use time-based structures, ArihantPlus supports strategies involving different expiry dates within the same position.

This enables the creation of advanced setups such as calendar spreads and other multi-expiry combinations.

Even for these strategies, key metrics such as maximum profit and maximum loss remain visible throughout the process.

Once a strategy is executed, each order leg carries a dedicated strategy identifier, making it easy to recognise related positions.

The Positions tab provides a consolidated view of:

• Combined P&L
• Overall exposure
• Real-time performance

This allows traders to evaluate the strategy as a complete position rather than monitoring individual legs separately.

Options trading becomes more effective when decisions are backed by visibility, planning, and risk awareness.

The Options Strategy Builder on ArihantPlus brings these elements together in a single workflow, helping traders move from strategy creation to execution with greater confidence and convenience.

Open the Option Chain, enable Strategy Mode, and start building your next options strategy on ArihantPlus.
