While I actually do NOT know what ONE or OV does specifically, the process I use derives the underlying inferred price from the chain, so is not sensitive to this issue.

Perhaps TOS could be persuaded to include a setting allowing user to specify analysis to reflect valid evaluation times only? -- IE, after hours to use the closing underlying price instead of the "current Mark"! This may also aid in the cases that the BID and ASK vary after market (even...

A friend was questioning his SPY option position last night in TOS, which helped to observe this case. Beware if you reference TOS option information after trading hours IFF the underlying trades after option trading ceases. SPY, QQQ, TLT are three cases. User beware... (IMHO TOS is NOT to...

Database connection issue causing delay for this morning's reports. Being produced now.

The Risk-Reveresal reports failed to complete all terms due to technical difficulty, so will be rerun as soon as the Entry Reports complete (in a few minuites) Root issue related to Microsoft changes (an update and switch to newer Excel to allow more expirations to be captured) Update at 8:23AM...

Within the Entry report Criteria section, the following is now included: Note the Commission line addition (this was an SPX (AM) expiry, so commision of 1.30 is reflected. (Revised info is shown below in Bold type)...

I encountered no issue with the TOS Account Export, that I did late session today to capture today's new trades, but I guess your mileage could differ. -- If my issue was related to TOS, it would be related to failure to produce valid BID/ASK value at a specific timestamp today, since re-runing...

I'm all ears, for what ever you discover. (I suspect TOS may be the issue with my reporting miss, but do not have proof it was the root cause, as the impact was temporary!)

Todays late session Risk Reversals failed to generate most of the expirys at the proper time. Reran vvery late 1:06PM Pacific.. Unknown root cause.

Since the G-Tool reporting started, the impact of Commissions and Fees have been omitted from the analysis. A few changes have been introduced in the past few months that allow some narrower wing BWBs to be considered, which are associated with much larger lot sizes. With the changes...

I track my positions with my own tool, so not an issue for me, but understand that many users try to get by with the "lacking" broker tools! Interesting that some brokers only use "last trade" prices instead of B/A to evaluate positions!

FYI: The change I made to the G-Tool was to also include the 3rd Friday weeklies. Thoughts on removing the AM expirys was abandoned, in favor of including all. The user can pick whichever they wish.

Is anyone familiar with the Tradier API? Their posted API interface looks too good to be true!

NO! But I do have trading authority on all the accounts! All these accounts are margin accounts. Some IRA/ROTH IRA, individual, joint, and corporate. (Includes some relatives)

Yes! I have many accounts with TDA, with 11 of them linked in TOS. The allocation allows a trade to be distributed across linked accounts with qty allocations you specify. So, if you need the same trade across multiple accounts, you can make the management more "senior friendly". I used this...

While still a work in progress, I wanted to post some info on a trade I have been working on. The trade is a BWB with flexible wing configurations which attempts to maximize return with a "safe" distance from danger. I term the trade the Glider trade, as you launch it into a volatility up-draft...

My thinking on this is similar to Marcas. I need more automation not less, and have constructed my processes accordingly. I have not looked into Tradier. There are many features that TOS supports, that seem to be missing from other brokers. That Paste of trade orders is just one of them...

Ouch! But thanks! I have grown accustom to many of the features of TOS, and will have difficulty going "cold turkey" (going backwards on capabilities)!

@RandyS or others familiar with Fidelity.. Do you happen to know if Fidelity's platform supports the ability to "paste" a text string (like TOS does) allowing the syntax, positions, order type, lot size, legs, etc to be formed external to the platform to eliminate time/error constructing an...

Update: The G-Tool reporting was recently (this week) updated to include the 3rd Friday Weeklies of SPX in addition to the Monthlies. Previously the reports suppressed reporting of the 3rd Friday Weeklies (previously referred to as the SPXPMs). Subscribers can now chose either or both if they...
