    I don't have any duplicate IC trades with EEM. The only IC trades with EEM was the one i entered recently. <scratching my head>

    It's really simple and no modeling necessary. You have a risk of $2 per spread in either direction. You received a 7 cent credit which is you maximum profit. Your maximum risk is therefore $1.93

    Picking up pennies in front of ... ?

    You might consider the possibility that if it's not human error then it could be software error. Either way, it's a $7 potential profit per IC.

  3. Did you try "bouncing" TOS? -- Terminate, then start TOS again? -- While the exact issue you observe, I have not seen, I have had many others, that killing, then restarting did resolve.

    I have tried logging out then logging in again. But no diff. I think i will have to inform the guys at TOS. :(

  5. Can you paste a screen shot of the entire Analyze page? There could be an issue we can spot, that you may not have noticed! -- You can use a number of programs for that, or even from TOS:

    Does your confirmation ticket (or statement) list the fills on each of the four legs? If so, could you provide the details? It's a long shot but we're all assuming that the fill was for 7 cents as you stated. Let's double check that. If it was for 7 cents and you only sold one then the only other choice is software error and you would need to take that up with TOS.

    Sorry for being such a dunce, but where do I go to find the confirmation ticket in TOS?

  10. Down near the bottom left of your Analyze page, change "Show All" to "Hide Simulations"!
    You may have a simulation plus your actual trade, which represents your duplication. I notice that the scroll bar on the lower right is indicating information you are not displaying -- scrolling to them should disclose what is being represented. Note: the BP effect, does imply the trade is equivalent to 2 of the IC's you reference.
