Spx/es options

What does it say the bid/ask spread is on all the legs?
Is this a live order or sim?

its live here are the bids and asks an image and its live

These are very wide markets. Right now the mid point is $0.45 but I expect it is worth more if I ran a flat vol which I do not have the capacity to do with options on futures. You are basically bidding lower than anyone would sell it.

so why in the image above the mark went down and and it didn't get filled?

 

[Robert Morse]

I can't tell you that.

it's the way ToS calculates the mark, which is averaging the mark of the individual legs and not the spread itself. You'll probably have better luck trying this on a product other than a Monday-expiring emini weekly

for now even though we are deep in the trading session and hit the mark 30 times it was not triggered

Interesting. They expire today and right now that spread is worth much less than $0.25. Are you sure you entered a live order? I would cancel it and call your broker.
