Cloning a Strategy
Cloning a strategy makes a copy of a strategy (all of its groups). The new
strategy becomes a selection in the Option Chart menu, and a line representing
the strategy is added to the chart (notice that the performance line in the
option chart changes color; there are actually two lines there, but you cannot see
the first because the second is its twin). Use strategy cloning to “what-if” changes in the positions that make up the strategy, volatility skew versus
implied volatility, and other parameters. When you clone a strategy, your
original strategy remains in tact. By changing parameters in the second group, you
get a comparative view of actual performance and hypothetical performance.
To clone a strategy, follow these steps:
1. Display the strategy menu for the strategy you want to clone.
2. Select Clone Strategy.
