    Check out the journal I started on Thanksgiving.

    The first post has a link where you can download all my trades from the last two years and the source code algorithms too (uses the TWS api).

    My responses are going to be brief as it is best to email me for access to the development environment and code samples. Right now, that API can handle single leg orders and up to 4 legs of an option spread. You create your option "algo" on your server, then send the required code through the API. You can access any Listed option symbol including SPY.

    Just curious, you are a very successful future trader, why do you now want to trade options?

    Furthermore you are trading 100% automated and 100% hands off? Your algo must be very sophisticated?
