You have made "very wierd" settings to display your "wierd" diagram. Did you want to observe Today, and Expiration? (The typical knee-jerk view), if so you need to set to something like this: (Verify you have not modified your date settings (Upper right corner date for expiry , and lower date in "Positions and Simulated Trades" for your "current date".

Can you post your complete image, to allow observation of your settings (like my post)?

Those are day-step payoff diagrams. Across the top you should have a toolbar that is (L->R) Symbol, Commission Include/Exclude, Lines: XXX, Step: XX, Metric, Prob Mode, etc

Change "Lines:" to "+1 @ Expiration" and the step should N/A out.

This will leave you with the current P/L line (purple) and your @ expiry payoff, which is blue.
