Bruce,

Let me know if this is a question for the brokerage side of the house. I want to enter a 4-legged option trade, but it's not one of the given strategies ...

I'd like to enter a Double Calendar, which involves Calls, Puts, and two different Expiration Dates.

I tried to create my own option order ticket, but couldn't seem to make it work, I was limited to the expiration date of the option I highlighted prior to opening the trade ticket.

Can I place a Double Calendar 4-legged trade all at once in TC2000, or am I SOL?

Well somebody from technical support will answer the email then. I really thought brokerage would take it since it was about actual trading.

No worries. Was just amusing.

The good news is they did get back to me.

The bad news is that a Calendar Spread isn't one of TC's built-in Option Strategies, so I'd have to leg in one trade at a time.

Which means, for a Double Calendar, I'd have to execute four individual trades. One. At. A. Time.

Oi. :)
