I want to create credit spread trades with options and it looks as though I would have to enter both sides of the trade seperately and my subscribers would recieve two alerts. Is this the case? Or can a spread trade be entered at once and subscribes just get one alert?? Thanks.
Hi Eric,
Yes you have to enter spreads one leg at a time. There is no way to enter a single option spread order in C2. This has been discussed before, for instance see a post from Matthew here:

I usually tell my subs when I am entering a number of legs that can be combined into a spread so (if they are manually trading) they can enter the legs as a spread order in their own accounts even though they get separate alerts from C2.
