Know Your Risk Before Your Accounts Do.
Understanding your options risk requires looking at your book as a whole, not just at individual positions or combinations. Where is your real delta exposure? How much theta are you collecting across your book? Where is that risk concentrated, by underlying and by expiration? These are questions that tables and views of individual positions cannot answer.
OptionsRealTime was built to answer them. It aggregates your positions, Greeks, PnL, and other exposure metrics across your entire book and gives you a set of visualizations, each examining your risk from a different angle. Exposure by underlying. Exposure by account. Positions mapped by yield. Risk distributed across expiration dates. Vol scenario modeling built directly into every exposure view. A dedicated chart showing how your positions in any underlying respond across price and volatility ranges. Each view asks a different question. Together they tell you what your book actually looks like.
If you manage multiple IBKR accounts, every view in the platform reflects your account selection. Choose one, several, or all, and every chart, report, and metric reconfigures around that selection. You can see how much each account contributes to the total. Accounts that look fine individually may combine to give more exposure in an underlying than desired. Or you may find a hedging opportunity between accounts you would otherwise miss. Managing accounts one at a time limits what you can see. Multi-account risk management gives you insight that no single-account view can.
