    Hey Interactive Brokers, can you please make it possible to close more than one leg at a time from your WebTrader app without having to re-create the opposite position using the Spread order entry tab? I screwed up the exit of a Delta iron condor today and turned a small profit into a loss. Although that was my fault, I was in a hurry and it's extremely error-prone to select the correct expiration and strikes for all 4 legs of my trade. I would imagine that this feature would be easy to implement - maybe just have the user select the control or shift key while pressing the "Close" button next to each position in the portfolio to add it to a combo order. Most other platforms have the ability to do this.
