From what I can tell, orders at market open seem to be processed much faster now compared to a few weeks or months ago. I’m not sure if they’ve updated their systems or if that recent debacle played a role, but it’s definitely quicker now.

@TrustyJules how did it turn out for you?

Works fine for me.

Same here. Also my overall P&L still wrong.

Balanced API seems to display the correct info again. Positions api still not functioning. edit: positions back online but working improperly

I did some testing with Tasty Trade. On some trades Tradier filled easier and others Tasty. About 50/50 so I think that is a non issue. I used the exact same contracts and quantities at the exact same time. However the outages are a valid concern I agree.

Were there other incidents this week?

Same on my mobile application and the Dashboard. Must be a glitch but hope they resolve it soon….

Attached is a PDF containing images showcasing some the key features mentioned in the post. Spreadable_Steady_Options_Features.pdf

As a six-year Steady Options member, I've profited from SO strategies, though limited computer access has impeded my complex option trading. To address this challenge, I created Spreadable. What started as an app exclusively for Steady Options has evolved into a comprehensive mobile platform offering desktop-level functionality. Spreadable has greatly enhanced my Steady Options experience, a sentiment I believe many of you will share. User feedback has been crucial in improving Spreadable, with suggestions for new features and tools always welcome. My goal is to keep refining Spreadable to be the top trading tool for our community. Free for Active Traders Try Spreadable with a 2-month free trial. Afterward, the service is available for $29.99/month. However, for those trading at least 300 contracts monthly, Tradier will credit the Spreadable fee to your Tradier balance. With the typical trading volume at Steady Options, many users could enjoy Spreadable at no cost! Spreadable’s first back testing tool for Steady Options users Historical straddle and calendar prices for past earnings cycles. Open the trade directly from the backtesting tool. Some Key Trading Features In Spreadable, spreads are automatically detected and managed as one coherent strategy from start to end, eliminating the guesswork of identifying which legs belong to which strategy. When you create a trade in the option chain, spreads are automatically identified and then displayed both in the order screen and on your order list for easy tracking. You can view all your spread positions in your portfolio and close them directly with one swipe. While this process is automated, there is also the flexibility to manually adjust or name spreads. The order screen in Spreadable is crafted for a quick and intuitive experience. It features the unique addition of 5% and 10% buttons that automatically calculate and set your order quantity to either 5% or 10% of your portfolio's value. Understanding the significance of earnings in Steady Options trading, Spreadable ensures that this information is prominently displayed throughout the app. Key features include the ability to see the number of trading days remaining till earnings for each position in your portfolio, an option chain that marks the first expiration date post-earnings with a symbol, and a watchlist that not only shows stock details but also earnings dates, remaining trading days, and confirmation status. These are just a small part of all the features on Spreadable. To truly understand how Spreadable can enhance your trading experience, I encourage you to give it a try!

Hmm okay!

Anyone else not being able to place trades or sometimes even log in? Keeps getting worse for the past hour it seems. On a friday in the last hour of trading

I launched an iOS mobile application that caters to the Steady Options members. Made a topic a while back for a beta. But now you can download it for free in the Appstore. (make a free account in the app) https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/spreadable/id1644952606?l=en It will remain free until the beginning of 2023, still haven’t decided on any pricing. It automatically groups most steady options strategies. If it doesn’t do it automatically you can manually group them. Swipe right to group, swipe left to close position. If you need more tutorials check the post about the beta. I encourage everyone with a Tradier account to try it. It has significantly improved my trading since I’m no long reliant on my laptop/desktop. In my opinion it delivers a better trading experience than most desktop software. @krisbee Since you use Tradier as well I would love to hear your opinion. Update for next month: - Updated option chain with option greeks - Updated charts - Performance history improvement (currently not showing correct data for spreads with short options)

Good question, it uses the Tradier API so you would still need to trade 4+1. But once filled you can add the individual leg to the 4 legged spread combo to correctly follow its performance. I am working on a function where you can build the 5 legged spread that we are trading now and the app would automatically seperate it in two orders. Once filled they combine in the portfolio. Same for closing. But this still needs a bit of testing so I’m sure it’s stable and working as intended.

Hi All, I have been a Steady Options member for around 6 years now, making a steady income by incorporating the SO strategies into my own trading. However, I don’t always have access to a computer, and that has created some difficulties with following trades. I think a lot of you can emphasize. For this reason, I decided to build my own mobile trading software on par with current desktop platforms. I partnered up with Tradier to develop an iOS app for their subscribers: Spreadable. It will be released in 2 weeks & listed on their website as one of the officially supported platforms. Supported devices include: iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon), Apple Watch. Spreadable perfectly supports the type of trading we do here; I haven’t needed to touch the desktop software since starting to use it ˜3 months ago. Almost all of Steady Options strategies are automatically detected and can be traded as one spread from opening to closing. I’m now turning to the SO community to offer a free trial period and ask for your invaluable feedback regarding any usage problems or functionalities you’d like to see (more details are provided below). To use the app, send me a message with your email and I will provide you with an invitation link and your demo login credentials. You will need to download the Apple TestFlight app and then you’re all set. Some of the key features: - Automatic Authentication Refresh: I partnered with Tradier to incorporate their automatic refresh function. You will only need to login with your Tradier account when installing the Application for the first time or other major logout events. After that refreshes are done automatically. - Spread management: Building options with the interactive option chain is fast and intuitive. Spreads are automatically detected and once filled they are displayed in your portfolio as the spread you created. Alternatively: if you bought legs individually or want to create your own spreads you can easily do this in the portfolio page. - Quick ordering: Intuitive spread builder and one click spread closing in your portfolio. The order screen is one page where everything is optimized for your fingers, like Steve Jobs always wanted J. - Detailed performance overview: The portfolio page already shows all the details of your positions but by tapping it you can find other info such as the estimated earnings date, open orders and performance history graph. The grouped spreads have the exact same feature. - Earnings Alert: Displays estimated and confirmed upcoming company earnings. Still in beta but will get it more accurate with different sources. Coming soon: - Apple Silicon Mac (Coming in 2 weeks) - Apple Watch App: View all your positions, close your positions, update orders, cancel orders, check earnings and stock prices. (Coming in 3 weeks) - Notifications: Get notified when position profit/loss target is reached, order is filled, earnings is confirmed. (TBA) - Full Trade Performance History: View your performance per option strategy, equity and single legs. Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU3rftrbde8 Beta: free use until the official release The app is now fully functional, and I would love to get your feedback. You can use it for free until its official release. After login, you can use your Tradier account to start trading. If you encounter any bugs/crashes, layout issues with your particular iPhone size, or you’d like to see other features incorporated, leave a post in this topic or use the messaging function in the app. All functionality is also working on iPad but UI elements will be significantly improved in the full release. Pricing and Steady Options Discount I will be pricing the app at 39.95 USD a month. SO members receive a 25% discount, so only 29.95. The app is used in addition with Tradier services so you will need to be a Tradier customer first. Tradier offers 10$ a month unlimited option and stock trading with their web dashboard. If you want to use the Spreadable app you would therefore be paying 29.95$ + 10$ = 39.95$ for the use of this app with unlimited stock and options trading. Around 20$ less than the TradeHawk Package.

Same here, still need to close MDT shorts. Hopefully fixed soon.

Does anyone still have issuess regarding their balance, standing orders and positions? In the morning it showed I had a significant lower balance with the official SO trade reversed. So short straddle and long strangle with a signficant loss. Now it shows the opposite (official SO trade still open). Even though they confirmed my closing order filled yesterday. So now I may still have the DIS position open but I don't know for sure. I can place an order to close. Called Tradier at 8 am eastern time and they mentioned positions are put back in place but it seems that already happened in the morning. Plus they said it will be fixed within 45 minutes after I placed the call, been almost an hour now. Incredibly confusing and a bit frustrating..... Edit: Called again and they are still fixing it for anyone wondering. Edit2: Seems to be fixed now.

So just got off a call with Tradier and my DIS order executed at 12.5 instead of the 13.4 or even 13.3 its now. Bit of dent in my trust with Tradier. @Yowster It is really weird.

Its ten minutes before open and I still can't login. I understand that updates need to happen but why not do it during the weekend. This is pushing it a bit as I want to modify orders before the market opens.

Jup got the same.

I am not able to login into Tradier. Both Tradehawk and the website. Anyone that could check wheter this is the same for them?

Did you contact Tradier and they told you accounts from the Netherlands were not allowed?

I think his aim was more at including those trades that fit all criteria but are too big for the 1K portfolio, not necesarily because of the increased IV but more in general. I think there was a poll somewhere in the past but the allocation stayed 1k which seems logical to me. Maybe a section with potential canditates for 20k-30K portfolio's would be a nice bonus.

I mean I wouldn't let your son have a a real account though... Don't really see any added benefit for letting a child play with stocks but if he enjoys it then a paper trade would be ok I guess, at least make sure he for sure can't make any real trades.
