## About the Diagonal Put Spread

The calculator opens with a diagonal put spread: the put at the next strike below the money sold in the nearest expiration and the at-the-money put bought in the next one.

It works like a calendar spread with a bearish tilt: the short near-term put decays faster than the long one, and the position does best with the stock falling toward the short strike by the near expiration. The chart models what the long put is still worth then.

## How to use

Enter the position with query parameters. Option legs are `legs[N][field]`, N counting from 0, up to 4 legs ([subscribe](https://www.optionistics.com/subscribe) for 8): `expiry` (YYYY-MM-DD, required), `strike` (required), `putcall` (C or P), `side` (long or short), `quantity` (contracts, 1-1000), `cost` (entry price per share; default the contract's theoretical price), `ivol` (volatility override, decimal), `hidden` (1 leaves the leg out of the totals and chart). A stock leg: `stock[side]`, `stock[quantity]` (shares), `stock[cost]`. Or start from a `preset`: bull-call, bear-call, bull-put, bear-put, straddle, strangle, covered-call, covered-put, calendar-call, calendar-put, diagonal-call, diagonal-put, single-call, single-put. Pricing: `rate` (percent), `model` (a American, e European; default American when a dividend is set), `voltype` (0 slider, 1 indexed IV, 2 historical IV, 3 each leg's IV), `ivSlider` (1-400, with voltype 0), `dividend` (next dividend, dollars), `exDate` (YYYY-MM-DD), `frequency` (0 none, 12, 4, 2 or 1 a year). Chart: `solveFor` (p price change, dl days left), `factor` (price range either side of the stock price, 0.01-1, default 0.5), `dateOffset` (price change: value on the report date plus dateOffset + 1 days; default -1, the report date), `sliderPrice` (days left: the stock price to value at).
