@Bum and @Robert Morse thank you both. I know one such broker which is totally not that smart and who S/W has bugs as well :vomit:

protected from the long position always being there, right ? Are you saying it would be only be possible with margin (or having enough cash in the account) and impossible without those ?

Hypothetical question: Let's say I trade the following: SPY 292 Put Sell to Open 293 Put Buy to Open 100 option contracts 0.50 Debit per contract Now if I close just the 292 Put Buy to Close , will the platform let me trade 292 Put Sell to Open i.e. same leg again (at a different price)...

@Robert Morse this is amazing. Can you show a few screenshots of the screener with different config for lets say SPY

@Matt_ORATS I got the gui and it stinks.... no option charting . From a user experience standpoint, it does not even come close to other bigger vendors like thinkorswim , IB etc. Any other web-charting live option prices and strategies ?

Thanks for the screenshot @guru because of suggestion from @ironchef :p @ironchef what trading application is @guru screenshot from ?

Ok I am gonna go off beat but @guru does not know logic ( academic field) where my statement is neither true or false... @guru , given the kind of person I detect, come back with a logical argument ( propositional, first order etc ) before you decide to exercise your freedom of speech .... to...

Any exchange in the world where we can find European style options ? Reason I ask American options can be exercised at anytime, right ?

Hi, I have looked at schwab streetedge and Interactive Brokers and I cannot find the functionality to buy European options ? Can someone point out a platform where you can find these ? I know there are many options exchanges, but I tried looking EUROPEAN options on CBOE website but could not...

Website says it does not. Any other gui ?

Does it have live market data (not delayed) with tick level option prices?

thanks :)

@Bum , Correct me if I am wrong but you are missing the multiplier in your "Max loss" calculation since the loss will be per stock (underlying) and not per option contract right ? 1 option contract = 100 stock If Stock price is below 50, then $5 has to be given per stock i.e. 5 * $100 = $500 We...
