Is WIFI connection secure enough to venture the trading over it?

For the spread to be filled it has to be match for 2 of its legs on the exchange at the same time. The spread on the exchange is executed as one transaction even if 2 outright trades are involved. The spread can be filled partially if there is not enough quantity to match.

The filling of the spread trades is done directly on exchange and it would be logical to me to assume that they do that with outright trades based on their price and quantity. One of the reasons that makes me think so is the fact that IB keeps spread after it was filled as 2 outright...

No, you cannot go both long and short the spread as you cannot have both long and short the same contract. I am more accustomed to clicking on the ask/bid prices to create the long/short spreads. Buying spread is equivalent in IB to being short forward month and long backward month. I click on...

Right. As long as there are no problems in JRE.

Sell 3 months out calls close to stock's price to limit your downside.

You need to buy the stock and if it goes down by 10% you buy some more.

I would like to know it either. But I don't think it's possible.

Why is that? 2 strongly correlated stocks, 1 long & 1 short, should bring down the margin commitment almost to 0. Example: long SPX, short SPY, the margin should be near 0.
