    After speaking to IB Tech Support, I upgraded to TWS Beta which shows the Combos very nicely.

    But how do you get an idea of where you are standing at? As part of a spread, I have a LNKD May01'15 265 PUT for which, according to IB, the last price was c14.48. However in the T&S I see that it last traded for 13.57. That's almost a 7% difference...

    So, this is funny. After placing one of our calendar spreads today, I noticed that one of the underlying PUT contracts was not being updated in IB TWS, and it was still showing yesterday's close price (prefixed with a 'c'). Interestingly, Time & Sales showed trades and Yahoo Finance also showed a different LAST price for that contract. After talking to IB Tech Support, it turns out that they don't update the LAST price of the contract if the trade belonged to a spread. That's what the yellow arrow means in the Time and Sales panel. Did you know that? This essentially means that I don't have a real-time P&L view into my spread... I'm flying blind...
