Set up vertical trade options

[koenigbrok]

Hi, 

I've tried to search these forums, but there doesn't seem to be a search function

 

I want to trade options and set up a vertical trade, (covered call)

I'm in my practice account so I can get used to the platform

Us there a way of setting up a vertical trade, or do we just had to buy and sell a call seperatly?

Thanks

Hi @koenigbrok

Thanks for reaching out, 

Unfortunately the platform does not have the functionality to implement the strategy automatically. So you would need to buy and sell separately. 

All the best, 

Anda

Thank you for clarifying

Do you know if they plan on bringing this functionality in the future?

Hi @koenigbrok

It is a functionality we would obviously like to have in future. However there are no immediate plans to add this at this point. 

All the best,

Anda - it would be a major plus if IG does give this serious thought.
I would suggest it could be a significant strategic advantage over others out there.
Instead of having to through all of the hassles of going to another major US broker etc to do these.
Making IG the "One stop shopping".
