Civicguy 15 Report post Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Not sure what happened but my trades are in a mess... the actual legs of the option trades are not correct. For example, my VIX Nov 17 $30 Call should be together with my Vix Oct 20 $15 Put But somehow it is with Oct 20 $18 Call How to just trade break these combos and put them together in the right combo ?

Marco 223 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 I just had a 1 1/2 hr conversation with IB where they admitted that feature is broken and a development team is looking into that. It basically doesn't show positions in combos when created in certain ways on your quote monitor and I had wrong positions displayed when I rolled an option (just one leg) to a different strike or maturity. To be sure to see the righ position hide complex positions as above (then you just see every single leg on its own but correct position in each) or look at risk Navigator which will also show correct position. I hope they fix it soon but the bug has been around for a while without being fixed. I hope my 1 1/2 hr chat pushed that a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4REAL 110 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 2 weeks ago IB advised me to switch to the "TWS lastest " version, b/c my TWS is very slow and unresponsive when I add more than 15 tabs in OptionTrader. That didn't solve this problem at all. But by switching to the latest verion I had the same issue. Apparently in "TWS lastest " version it is not possible to see your positions as separate legs in your optionchains and simultaneously see your combo you created in the quote panel. You can only see one or the other, very confusing So i returned instantly to the "normal" version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDM 33 Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Hey CivicGuy, Where is that setting? I can't seem to find the tab in configuration, and when I search for it it's not showing up. Thanks, T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, T Hi TDM, Depends on the version you use, in the "normal" version I believe you don't have this setting If you use "TWS lastest", you go to the main screen, you go to "edit" tab (upper left corner) you select "global configuration" I believe it should be under "display" and then under "ticker row" you'll see "Complex (multi-leg) positions" there you can select hope this helps Edited September 1, 2015 by 4REAL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
