Hi 'johnr' . . . yes, I DO mean Interactive-Brokers. . . . THAT was my key point . . if they still charge the same commissions as doing each leg separately, there is no advantage for me to use that tool. Because I have such directional biases both daily and intraday, I like to leg into my spread positions to try to eek out every penny of Profit I can. So, I do very much appreciate your offer to help . . . I still will not be using that Tool ... though I do see the very good usefulness of it. I often recommend NOT legging into a spread position because you usually lose out as the market goes against your initial thoughts right away (LOL) ... but I still do not take my own advice on that ... always thinking I can do better .. and because I often do do better ... I will continue legging in. Have a great! day.
