I would trade ITM options because I do not like to use STOP orders and want to limit my downside. I would not trade OTM options because I have had very little success with them as a directional tool.

Long Puts instead of short stock.

Sterling Trader Pro allows you to tag orders as OCO. https://www.sterlingtradingtech.com/support/sterling-user-guides/sterling-trader-pro-guide/oco-orders/

CBOE SILEXX support told me they are adding this to their next version later this year.

You might be missing a cost that is hard to put a value on, fast order entry, fast execution, choice of order types and Exchange/ECN and trading from 4am to 8pm. To name a few. This is what we offer but nothing is free.

Thank you, I will try them.

Thank you- I will call them.
