OptionStation Pro

Placing a Trade from a Theoretical Position

Once your theoretical position is satisfactory click the  button (to the right of the position) and select Send as Open to Order Bar (or Send as Close to Order Bar) This will now load the Order Bar with your spread information to view the current Bid, Mid, and Ask of your trade; select Order Type; and Place your order to open or close. Refer to the Order Bar for more information.

When you select Send as Open to Order Bar (or Send as Close to Order Bar) your trade will be highlighted in blue in the Theoretical Positions panel indicating it is now loaded in the Order Bar.

Each leg of your spread may also be traded individually by expanding the spread with the Description: Expand Collapse button.png button to reveal the legs inside. Clicking on the Description: Green Arrow.png button and selecting Send as Open to Order Bar will trade the single leg. Or you may Delete a single leg from the spread. Note that deleting legs from your spread may change the spread Type. OptionStation Pro will change the title of your spread to reflect the new combination. If it is a non-standard spread Type it will change to Custom.
