Multi-leg orders

1. A limit multi-leg order will be executed if an option spread is available at your specific limit price or better during regular trading hours. We will fill in the mark price, which is the midpoint between the ask price and the bid price, so you can adjust accordingly. Estimated Debit or Credit represent whether you will pay or get the premium for a specific order.

2. A P/L (Profit & Loss) chart is embedded in the order page, which helps you visualize an option strategies' theoretical profits or losses at expiration, or, you can adjust the date component and get the P/L before expiration.

Here Comes "Strategy Mode"

If your app is version 9.0.5 or above, you can find a more suitable "Strategy Mode" in the position settings for professional options investors.

By manually enabling the Strategy Mode, your multi-leg option positions will be chained together as a combo, making it more convenient to track quotes, costs, profits and losses, margin, etc.

Simultaneously, for single-leg option positions, our margin system will automatically match to minimize margin requirement. If the proportional matching is successful, they will also be chained in a combo form under the "Strategy Mode."
