trading option spreads

Postby simon007 » 05 Mar 2023

Hi @,

Is it possible to trade an option spread that is defined in trader workstation?

Is this possible to use something like trade commander/IBPlugin/TWSLink or some other dll?

Searching the forum on this topic unfortunately didn't return any hopeful posts :-(

Thanks and cheers,

Simon

Hi simon007,

MultiCharts is a trading platform, it works with a variety of security types: stocks, futures, forex, options etc. MultiCharts also provides a wide range of tools for technical analysis and trading strategy development.
Option instruments are provided by multiple supported data providers. Please refer to our wiki section for a complete list of supported security types for each data provider.
Please keep in mind that options are treated as regular instruments in MultiCharts. It is not specifically designed for options trading, i.e. you need to add all options instruments you want to use.
Please note that there is a limitation in Multicharts: it is not possible to hold both long and short positions on the same contract at the same time.

For more info about Spread and Pair Trading please see this page.
