This is the latest from Kosta: Tradier is still looking at it. They have not come back with a solution yet.

The data looks to be up to date in TradeHawk.

Yes, same issue. I just spoke with Kosta and he is currently working with Tradier.

They are extremely responsive and open to suggestions. The modification for partial orders would be a good addition.

1. It is a Tradier issue so TradeHawk’s hands are tied. 2. Yes, I click on the cancelled order. No, it does not change it to the unfilled number of contracts but rather reverts to the original order amount. One just needs to adjust the number accordingly. In general TradeHawk makes creating complex option orders easier by far than any other software I have used. One simply clicks on the Bid to buy or the Ask to sell a contract from either the Portfolio window or the option chains. It automatically recognizes whether it is an opening or closing order based on one’s holdings and populates the trade ticket at the mid.

You can also click on the canceled or filled order from the order window and it automatically repopulates the trade ticket.

While this is true for initial open orders, it is not the case for partially filled orders which can no longer be modified.

TradeHawk is the most robust options trading software available for integration with Tradier. Please review the Tradier thread for more discussion on their offering:

No, I use TradeHawk.

I trade full time so I actively manage all of my orders.

It does not, but it is a Tradier/Apex issue.

As an FYI, this happens to all brokers at some point. Sometimes brokers get a bad feed from the OCC or their clearing firm and this is the end result. I experienced it a bunch of times with IB in 2015 before dropping them.

Correct. However, it just began functioning again.

@Yowster Yes reviewing the chart I see the big gap down, I was basing it on OptionSlam: EARNINGS DATE IMPLIED MOVE APPROACHING EARNINGS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE IMPL.

No weeklies on CHKP and they have not yet confirmed earnings if looking at a straight straddle play. Also, very small move after the last release so I'd personally be very conservative with an entry on a straight straddle.

The exchanges compete for order flow by giving rebates to brokers/clearing firms.

Business model is the same as Tradier, the largest revenue comes from the rebate for order flow. All US brokers receive this but do their best to hide it. Those that outsource the front end platform technology can have an extremely lucrative model without charging commissions.

I don't know if that's necessary. There really isn't a lot of discussion or trade management necessary for these. They are very binary in nature. Members can manage them as they see fit, but the idea is to open them and then close them the session before earnings (unless a member chooses to put on a target/stop).

Lets go with something like this: XYZ - 40 Delta Call - Nov 17 Monthly - Close on 11/2 (Earnings 11/3 BMO). CML Backtest Link

@NikTam Thanks again for starting this thread. There seems to be significant interest which is cool. I do have a suggestion. Perhaps we can create a uniform post for each trade idea. For example, it could include just the symbol, expiration, strike/Delta and future exit date along with the link to the CML backtest with just one trade idea for each post. I think this will allow for members to follow the thread more easily.

@NikTam Thank you for opening this thread and sharing these trade ideas. I do like the pre-earnings straight call concept so I hope you will continue to post other candidates that show merit through CML back-testing.

@Djtux Would it be possible to add some type of earnings confirmation watchlist to your site? For example, if I could create a watchlist of certain stocks and be notified by email when they confirm earnings that would be a great additional feature.

For our purposes, I believe the last cycle is most pertinent for this page.

One correction here - you can reactivate cancelled orders. This was a change I requested and they implemented it about a month ago. Simply click on a cancelled order in the Order window and it repopulates the order ticket.
