Laddering Into a Position

Laddering means adding more contracts to an existing position at the same strikes. This increases your position size and collects additional premium. You might ladder when: - The stock has moved in your favor and you want to add to a winning position - You want to increase premium collection on a position you're confident in To ladder in Tradez, click the "Ladder" button from your campaign. The strikes are locked to your existing position — you only enter the new quantity, expiration, premium, and fees. The campaign's capital at risk increases proportionally, and the break-even adjusts based on the combined position across all laddered trades.
