    Actually, that would not be a straddle. It would be a ratio'd calendar spread. Long 20 back month 130 strike calls and short 10 front month 135...

    Again, I'm not debating with you about IF you can enter a combo order. I'm just asking if the 3 legs of your GS position were filled at the same...

    I understand combo orders but I thought it was common knowledge that legging in to a position meant separate orders. Investopedia explains Leg...

    I'm confused. You legged in to the trade but only paid one commission? Legging in means each trade was filled separately and not as a single order.

    Wow, that is a dizzying intellect you have. Your assumption of my relationship to Steve Cohen is similar to your assumption that you understand...

    1. This is an absurd question. It's equivelant to asking why throwing money away would matter to your profitability. 2. For the same reason...

    I think you misunderstood my question although I appreciate the response. I wasn't asking what your reasoning was for taking a position in...
