I can't seem to get any limit orders to fill when using the paper trading feature with options. Do I have to use market orders on all of these? Any way to make it fill in the middle of the spread by default?

You should be able to use limit orders with options. If you are having issues, please contact technical support.

There is no way to force the order to just fill at the middle of the spread. The program is going to wait for an actual legitimate opportunity to fill the order before filling it even when paper trading.
