Trailing stop on complex option structures with IBKR

Discussion in 'Options' started by kalapur73, Sep 16, 2023.

  1. Hello,

    I recently read a study which shows that trailing stop can be beneficial
    for options trading strategies. I validated with the flys I'm trading and
    it indeed boosts the performance.

    There is a problem however: my broker (IBKR) doesn't allow to set
    trailing stop orders on complex/combo positions.

    Do you guys know any software which can be used to easily implement
    this money management technique with IBKR?

    Are there any broker which supports this?

    ps: I'd prefer not to code my own due to limited experience with Python.

    Thanks!
