A new multi-legged order is now available in GTS, allowing traders to define and place Contract Option strategies on listed stock, ETF and index Options.

Features of the new Combination Order Ticket include:

  • Multi-legged ticket allows for trading complex options strategies such as horizontal spreads, straddles, strangles, iron condors and many more
  • Multi-legged orders to simultaneously Buy/Sell different Options
  • Multiple legs are delivered and executed as a single order
  • Up to four legs
  • Margin reduction over trading options individually
  • Spread trading to limit market risk
  • Ratio of strategies is retained between different legs (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1)
  • Price defaults to reference price within the spread, i.e. close to the mid-price of the spread itself
  • Quick reversal of a strategy from Buy to Sell, and vice versa
  • Dynamic display of Greeks, Volatility and Margin allows users to quickly analyse any spread set up before execution
