Thanks

Yeah it is TOS. I have no problem doing them, just curious about making sure I am choosing the best spreads. Don’t want to get something I can sell.

I guess it probably doesn’t really matter since they are technically individual buy and sell legs, I am just buying as a vertical spread.

What I meant you can see in this pic. It shows 49/49.5 and 49.5/50. I know I can choose what I want but if instead of choosing 49/49.5 or 49.5/50, I do a 49/50, would that make it harder to sell since it’s not a standard option listed?

Does it make it harder to buy and sell a vertical spread that is not listed as a pair? Example: Stock XYZ shows 56/57 and 57/58 strikes on the option chain. If I actually buy a 56/58 vertical spread does that make it harder to buy and more importantly, sell because I did not pick a standard...

Thanks for the information everyone. I figured it out. I was comparing spreads to single calls. When I changed to single calls it all lines up. I’m a noob so stupid error on my part. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the info

Pardon my ignorance, still learning. Just want to clarify. If I buy a vertical call option with a 1/8/21 expiration, I assume I have until 4p EST to close that option? It doesnt automatically execute at OPENING of day on 1/8 correct? Thanks

Thank you for the information. Have a great New Year!

In the TDA example above. I understand that, but how does that tie into my open positions? If I look at my positions I can see both legs of my spread. So how do I make sure they are closed out? If I go to trades and create a sell to close and buy to close vertical spread arent I just creating a...

Newbie here. How do you close out a vertical spread option on TD Ameritrade? You need to close out both the sell and buy legs together but how do you do that? Do I buy back my sell leg and sell my buy leg individually? Can they be selected together to close out? Thanks for advice...
