Multi-leg spreads

by mandobroker » Wed Jun 03, 2015 6:57 pm

Hi guys,
I have question regarding multi-legs spreads. Can You advice me how to properly put-in this kind of spread to TWS, please? For example: I want to try ZW Butterfly Dec15-2xMar16-May16. I go as usually through Combo-Buy 1 Dec15, Sell 2 Mar16 and buy 1 May16. I think it is correct way, but I get different values and chart of the spread then you have in SA, so I´m a little bit affraid to trade it.

Thank you mockrát a ahoj, Jirka :D

Hi,

I have created this spread using Combo in TWS and actual MID price (-4.75) is equal with our. Only the historical prices from TWS looks different, but it's normal thing in IB they, have terrible charts. You can check this spread at barchart, they have same chart like us.

PS: I noticed that in short definition (Dec15-2xMar16-May16) you have last leg as SELL, it should be a BUY. It's probably a typing error, because later it's correct.
