    So i noticed something on TWS today. i have an SPX call calendar spread on and adjusted it by adding another SPX put calendar to it ( same expiration for both) . in my analytical software i see both calendars as one PnL but it seems TWS has split them into two different SPX calendar trades. This isnt what i expected as i want to keep them as one trade and close them all at once based on my desired PnL target. Is their a way to merge both trades and keep only one PnL line which ideally should be the same as what's in Optionnet Explorer? Thanks

    Left-click on the "Financial Instrument" column heading. It will show a different presentation with each click.

    I think this will show a different order of the positions.

    I have not been able to merge positions that were entered separately. If anyone has a way for merging I'd be interested to learn.

    No. I'm afraid not. You might want consider pairing positions up thru the Excel API. However, position analysis will require something like the Hoadley add-in.

    You could mock up the spread and save it to your watchlist.
