 In this section you have the opportunity to check what will happen to its strategy in the market conditions that you assume. Starting from the basic strategy, you can change the date, the price of the underlying and volatility and test up to four possible future moves.\\

+The theoretical prices used in the What-If are calculated with the new Internal Market Maker Iceberg, prices do not move only according to the user's assumptions, but also with the volatility surface to which user wants to refer. Default is always used a flat volatility surface. To use a different volatility surface, it can be loaded as explained below.\\

+**Note: in the transition from the General tab to the What-If tab the option values are not the same, this difference is due to various factors such as the bid / ask spread and volatility. To have more precise values, acquire the volatility surface. In any case, a difference in the order of 20% can be acceptable as it will be produced throughout the simulation.**
