What brokers allow you to make single order option spread trades?

  1. Thanks for the suggestion Mr Morse.Do you offer the complex option order tickets with the web trader platform? I'm looking to fund an account with 5,000 to 10,000.

    Nope. That's why I did not list it.

    If he only trades stocks. How does he know Fidelity doesn't offer spread order entry capability for option? A two-leg spread order like what OP wants to do is as popular or even more popular than single orders. There is no way a broker like Fidelity wouldn't offer it.

  8. Thank you Mr Wildchild.I have it narrowed down to TD Ameritrade and IB for now.I like Mr Morse's brokerage too but at the moment the initial funding requirement is out of my range.

    Your friend is wrong about Fidelity. I have an account there and it is very easy to trade option spreads. I use their Active Trader software, very ease to enter a option spread order.
