====How to read the Options Chain ====

As you can see from the example above the Options Chain of Iceberg  presents the strike at the center, the column of Call at the left and the column of Put at the right. 

  * **Expiry date**: The list of the strikes is divided by expire and below each expire is shown the Last value of the underlying. The value of the Last can change between the different expires in the presence of [[dividends_moneyness|dividends]].In order to view the correct value Last, please read the section [[dividends_moneyness|Dividends & Moneyness]] available here [[dividends_moneyness|link]].
  * **Bid e Ask**: The price (Bid e Ask) can be written in blue if the value displayed is  the theoretical, while it is white whether the price is received in real-time by the broker. To change the theoretical prices see section [[market_maker_surfaces|Market Maker Surfaces]].
  * **Connection LED**: Next to the real-time column there is a LED that is green if the connection in real time is activated, on the contrary it is red if the option connection is turned off. If the connection is switched off (red LED) is presented the Start button to activate it, if the connection is switched on (green LED) is presented the Stop button to turn it off.
  * **LED price update**: Next to Bid & Ask columns there is a led which become green when a new price arrives, as time passes the color gradually becomes darker. When the led becomes red it mean that the last tick is arrived long time ago  .
