Equities Options Order Entry

[mgalal]

Hi, I am trying to get comfortable around NT8 features. In exploring Options chains, I couldn't find a way to create a must-leg options order (Vertical Spreads, etc) on the Basic Entry or Order Entry. It seems I can only submit a single option order. Does NT8 support multi-leg options? and If so, how to enter an order, exit positions, etc?

Hello mgalal,

Unfortunately multi-leg options orders are not supported at this time. I have submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team. I will follow up with an internal tracking number for your reference as soon as it is created.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.

Has any additional progress been made updating the options chain to support multi leg orders?

Hello sonia0101,

Thanks for your note.

The Options Chain window (New > Options Chain) can be used to see a listing of all available options contracts, along with current quotes, for the selected security.

Submitting options orders is done by linking an order entry window, then clicking on a bid or ask price within the options quotes section of the Option Chain.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about working with Options in NinjaTrader.

How do I get support on issues with my options ticker list and quotes not being displayed, the underlying instrument chart confirms data is being received .

I have reached out to support multiple times over 3 days now, but no real urgency is seen towards resolving my issue.

Add me to the list of people who want multi leg options. It's been 2 years since the first inquiry and it's a no brainier that the feature should be included.
