I understand the strategy, but like the OP, do something besides trade during the day. Email doesn't get my attention. Having to setup my own janky notification system (which doesn't work well for mobile due to no alerts in the actual email) or having to install twitter JUST for this is not acceptable to me. I'll be letting my subscription lapse for this 1 reason. I can adjust positions and modify, but want the signals to avoid the time required to find them myself. I get it. You are old school. it's fine.

This community is VERY VERY against updating to the latest technology available for community building. Many suggestions like this have been made since I've been part of it. For very little money, a developer could be hired to build a notification portal for them to notify twitter, forums, slack, text, all from one interface, but for whatever reason they push back saying 'forums are best'.

If you find one, let me know! I'm not aware of any that do options/futures.

If you don't get a form after your account is confirmed asking you to 'agree to pay' for the $40 promotion, simply email them and tell them you want this deal and they'll get you hooked up (Tradier). The tradehawk plan everyone has is just simply the 'Pro' version of the software listed on Tradier's platform site. When you sign up (through Tradier), you'll get another form agreeing to pay for that. Once that's done, Tradehawk will reach out with the download link. I think Tradehawk may have upped their fees slightly since this thread was super active on the topic which is why it's $69 instead of $59.

It's one or the other AFAIK.

If both legs are in the money, that means you either exit before close, or they will automatically exercise both legs. There is a 9$ fee for exercising each position.

Risk graph is in the $30 version. 100% To access open your option chain, setup your legs, right click on them -> risk graph. Additionally, from the account screen, you can check the box next to any legs (of same underlying) and right-click -> risk graph. Unsure why you are not seeing it, but it is 100% in the $30 version as I've used it for over 6 months. Strategy builder, option skew, and the ability to compare risk graphs are NOT in the $30 version and are very nice.

Trend does not have this type of 'closed' reporting. Tradehawk also has the strategy builder that allows you to track more specific series of trades. (in case you are trading 2 different separate strategies using the same underlying in the same month).

To close, you select existing positions, right click -> close. To open, you open option chain, select positions you want, right click -> Populate Trade Ticket, Alternatively, you setup risk graph with the positions to enter, rclick -> populate trade ticket.

Just in case others are concerned, you can select all of the 'related' positions you want to see P/L of and right-click -> risk graph to see the current P/L of the position. I dont' like it as much either, but it works.

This might be the headache I was thinking of rather than the open/close problem.

It doesn't have ALL of the features shown in the $245, but it's still very slick. I dont' know where the comparison of the $30 vs $245 is located (if there is one).

It's been awhile since I've used Tradehawk for closing as Trend is just overall more usable for me. Glad they fixed it!

reach out to info@mytradehawk.com . I know they'd be happy to schedule time to help you use any of the features you want to learn about.
