Ricky,
There may be other ways, but here is what I did today. This is a method I use when I want to "catch up" to a position that has evolved over several adjustments. For example, Michael's GS trade log ended with this, this morning:
> Net position(corrected)
>
> -15 145c/+15 150c/+2 155c/+2 160c/+1 170c
>
> -1 165p/-3 145p/+4 140p/+1 135p/+2 130p
>
> Net overall credit is $50.06
I go into TOS Analyze for symbol GS, and Add Simulated Trades, then add a single position for each different call or put at each different strike. In this case there were 10 different positions. I adjust the quantities and set the price of each to zero, then pick one and set it to the net debit (BUY) or net credit (SELL) amount (in this example I set one of the single sold PUTs to 50.06). Then I can see the risk graph and the net amount of the trade. The picture below is how it looked at the end of the day.
