Option Spread Greeks in IB

M

mathieurrr

Hey everyone, is there anyway to see the greeks when I create a spread in IB ? I can't seem to find anything.

Also, when I am looking at spreads after market hours, The bid and ask of the spread is not shown, is there any way to change that ?

Thanks
 
Can yahoo do greeks for spreads ? I know i can use the options analytics tool in IB and manually find the greeks for the spread myself but it would be nice to just have it there already.

LOL You are one kinky guy.

I think you are in the wrong forum. EliteTrader is a trading forum, and Options are bought and sold for investment purposes - nothing to do with sex.

Use the Risk Navigator under Analytical Tools.
Right click an option in TWS and open a new "What if"
click the position and enter 1, then you have what you want.
for a spread, do the next option then right click "what if" and add it.

Another way is to Open up the OPTION TRADER. Create tabs for the UL's that interest you. Load the chains for strikes/months you want to follow. Right click the blank area in the Option Chains section. Select CONFIGURE OPTION CHAINS. A menu listing available choices opens up. Select GREEKS. OPTIONS and CONTRACT DESCRIPTION have some other goodies you'll probaly want (bid, ask, IV, etc.). Move whatever amuses you from AVAILABLE COLUMNS to SHOWN COLUMNS. Remove excess baggage from the SHOWN COLUMNS.

Also, when I am looking at spreads after market hours, The bid and ask of the spread is not shown, is there any way to change that ?

After hours quotes are often inaccurate as B/A spreads widen at the close and last option trade may not necessarily correlate with last UL trade. Any web site that provides the Greeks should suffice for getting such numbers at that time.
