Can you explain the concept of a one-standard-deviation stock price change and its relevance to options trading?
QUESTION:
How would you create a profit/loss diagram for an option strategy?

A profit/loss diagram tells you the most you can make, the most you have at risk and where the strategy will break even at expiration.
