Is there a way (syntax or order mechanics) to trigger an order for an option spread based on the Bid/Ask of the spread?
The conditional order transaction only allows for 1 symbol on the condition, but I need 2 symbols for a spread, LOL and the form doesn't like 2. I can put the option spread on a watch list or in an alert, so I know the data exists. I wish I could link an order to an alert, but haven't figured that out yet. I do it now with a conditional order using one leg (1 symbol) of the spread, like if Leg1=5, then spread = 2, based on history. It works and those conditional orders are fast and reliable, but I would rather use the actual pricing of the spread as opposed to assumed values. Any better solutions would be appreciated. And yes, I have searched this site many times for relevant content.
