Cap / floor / collar — concept

About this app

A rate cap is not a single instrument but a series of caplets — one bar per period. A floor bounds from below, a collar = buy cap + sell floor (free via the zero-cost snap). The forward staircase in the corridor shows which caplets bite. Debunks “a cap is one instrument with one price”.
