  1. 1. how do I find out which spread pair has market makers putting out bid and ask ? thru IB. I got this the contract is not supported error.
    2. I want to sell 680/690 put spread for 5.3 pts x2
    or
    3. I want to buy 680/690 call spread for 4.7 pts x2

    I suggest you trade opts on IWM. Even they're not real liquid. It's not a good solution but ER2 opts are unworkable. One thing I know, other than IB's TWS, very few platforms support Globex or CBOT electronic options. That's why there's no flow.
     
  3. yeah i learned it by paying friggin MM 300 bucks to open 627.5 oct call the bid/ask spread was a whopping 400 bucks nuts
    but the margin is significanly less tho
