What brokers allow you to make single order option spread trades?

We offer complex order tickets on all our Direct Market Access Software (Lightspeed TRader, Sterling Trader Pro, Realtick, Silexx and LVX)

Thanks for the suggestion Mr Morse.Do you offer the complex option order tickets with the web trader platform? I'm looking to fund an account with 5,000 to 10,000.

All brokers pretty much.

A buddy is with Fidelity(only trades stocks) and he said they don't.

Nope. That's why I did not list it.

If he only trades stocks. How does he know Fidelity doesn't offer spread order entry capability for option? A two-leg spread order like what OP wants to do is as popular or even more popular than single orders. There is no way a broker like Fidelity wouldn't offer it.

His account allows him to trade options and he tried at my request.

What brokers allow you to make single order option spread trades?For example I want to buy a call option at 50 and sell the same option at 51 and enter it as one order rather than selling the call on one ticket and buying on another.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I use interactive brokers.

I use interactive brokers.

Thank you Mr Wildchild.I have it narrowed down to TD Ameritrade and IB for now.I like Mr Morse's brokerage too but at the moment the initial funding requirement is out of my range.

Your friend is wrong about Fidelity. I have an account there and it is very easy to trade option spreads. I use their Active Trader software, very ease to enter a option spread order.
