Hi all,
I would like to automate a strategy where if price of the ETF that I chart crosses above the next higher strike level to send a option spread order to buyback my sold option contract and sell another one at the higher level.
My broker is IB.
I could eventually create (with string manipulations) the text of the order starting from the ETF symbol and the strike recently reached, with expiration and C or P as inputs.
What would be the way to send this rollover spread order to IB ?
(and of course, with a limit at midway between bid and ask for this spread)
Thanks for any input,
Florian

Hello, florianp3!

If you want to create a strategy that will trade several interdependent instruments, then you can do that in Portfolio Trader or on charts by means of Global Variables.
