The Pair or Leg-by-Leg tab of the Combo Selection is the most flexible tool to create a combo.
To select a combo with the Combo Selection window's Pair or Leg-by-Leg tab:
- Enter the underlying symbol into a market data line and select Combinations followed by Option Combos (SMART), Future Option Combos (SMART) or Futures Spreads (SMART)
- Click the Pair or Leg-by-Leg tab
- Drag your selection of stocks, options, or futures tickers from your quote monitor or OptionTrader into the tab
- Alternatively, click in the Underlying field and enter the underlying symbol once again. Hit Enter and choose the option or future you wish to add as your first leg
- Repeat for any subsequent legs you wish to add.
- Select Create (1:1) price combo to display the price of the combo as if it were a 1:1 price combo regardless of the legs ratio
- Select Request market data for legs to add market data lines for each combo leg
- Click Clear if you want to clear your selection
- Once finished, click the Add button to add the combo as a market data line to your watchlist
- Click OK to close the window.
Please note: Although the order will be submitted for the legs ratio chosen upon combo creation regardless of Create (1:1) price combo set up, if Create (1:1) price combo is selected it is possible that less order types will be available. Un-check Create (1:1) price combo in order to see all order types.
