    Comparison on ThinkorSwim

    You will need to figure out what you want, then do it! Or convey what you want and have someone do it for you! I have no interest in trying to determine what you should have asked! Good luck. Note: your screen shot fails to disclose what you are trying to plot as the primary symbol. I have...

    Comparison on ThinkorSwim

    I don't know what you mean by "overlapping the first one ..."! If you want primary, then do the primary! If you want the secondary, then do the secondary! If you want both, then do both! Perhaps your question should be "how do I select the secondary instead of the primary" -- or something...

    Question about options

    thinkscript While Loop like in Java or C

    ThinkScript is a script language, not a programming language, so you need to alter your mindset from typical programming, to what are the capabilities available, and how can you use that knowledge to accomplish your goal! Insufficient problem statement to make suggestion, but the notion of a...

    AON (All-or-None) for complex orders

    Selling SPX Put Options

    It depends on precisely what you wish to accomplish. Closing the short PUT prior to expiration is probably the most common way to trade them. Closing early frees capital.

    Short strangle legs were assigned even though price of underlying stayed within the price bounds?

    A short strangle consists of selling a PUT and a CALL that are both OTM! You sold both ITM per your post. Did you instead think you were selling the 280 PUT and the 294 CALL?

    Options requiring 5 cent intervals for me, but apparently not for others?

    While I don't really know, would assume if I sold a 5-lot with the fills of 4 @ 5cents and one at 0, it may show last as 4cents!
