slash between strike prices

Recommended Posts

Sorry, but I have to ask a very nooby question.  What does it mean when there is a slash between the strikes (TOS), i.e., 55/60, 60/65, 65/70?  Is the first number for the calls and the second for the puts?  Thank you.

other way around (puts/calls), its always the OTM strikes.

Specifically whichj part of ToS are you refering to, where you see that notation ?

Is it in the Order Confirmation dialog ?

In the options chain.  And I can't figure out how to make one expiration date different from the other.  When you change the expiration date, the other changes with it.  I'm only paper trading.  Which type of strategy do I choose?  Vertical?  Diagonal?

Oh. OK. That's because you probably have somethng other than "Single" selected in the "Spread". PM me a screen shot of what you're trying to accomplish. so we don't clutter this thread.
