The connection to the TWS cannot be disconnected when I click on the icon.

If the main window is open on a second monitor and the Trade Management window is opened, it opens on the main monitor. Please open the window in the center of the main window. As a workaround, move the window there after opening. Please note this for all windows.

I am selling 5 puts.
I close 1 put via close leg. Remain -4.
If I now select Add Options to Trade and buy 2 puts, these are not deducted from the current position. Instead, a long position is opened.

It might make sense if it is the same strike, has the same expiration date and there are enough units available.

When I pull data from Yahoo, it only shows the price of the underlying and that the position is ITM. But all other values are missing. No values for the legs and the total PnL.

What have I missed here?

I have entered a trade. But did not adjust the date of 31.12. when closing the trade. I changed the entry to the correct date afterwards, but the trade duration was not corrected.

The trade was closed on the day of opening.

At the first start, an error occurs when updating the configuration to version 4. If no configuration exists, it is created and saved at startup. It should then be changed to version 4 because the tt-config.txt file does not exist. This leads to the error when saving. This error also occurs when closing the program.

The partial sales from my sample database are also not displayed under closed trades.
They also do not appear in the 2024 statistics. They are included under transactions.

Currently, when you use the "Option Assignment" menu option, all contract quantity for that leg of the trade will be used in the assignment. For example, if you have 5 Puts but you receive notice from your broker that 2 were assigned, then if you try to use the Option Assignment then all 5 will form part of the assignment when obviously you only wanted 2 to be assigned.

The workaround is to wait until you have handled the other 3 non-assigned Puts of the leg. You could roll those 3 Puts thereby splitting the trade into two transactions. One for 2 Puts, and one for 3 Puts. You can then easily use the Option Assignment on the 2 Puts that were not rolled.

Another alternate workaround is to Roll the 3 Puts to the SAME EXPIRATION day as it is already set, AND do that roll for no cost. In the Roll dialog, just change the leg quantity in the "Closed Transaction" and also "Rolled Transaction" tables. This will split the transaction into two separate transactions then allowing you to use Option Assignment on the 2 Puts.

When I am connected to the TWS, the individual prices of the single legs are missing as shown on your picture in the readme. Each line has its own P/L, which I would like to see. I am also interested in the current option price. Maybe you can display it in a column.

Hey Paul,

Can you activate the entry of negative order fees in the Trade Management window? It sometimes happens when I sell options that I get a commission.

Thank you for your work. Nice program so far.

Regards Flippo

Integrate a stock split into the combo box in the management window. Below this, two input fields for the split ratio and a plain text which shows how many shares you own after the split. From then on, the split must be taken into account in all subsequent transactions.

Hi @PaulSquires great project Are you able to add margin analytics - currency type, initial margin, maintenance margin, interest rate etc.

If I delete the closed trade, the open leg no longer appears under active trades.

I have to restart the app first.

In case you have an active position on a futures contract but not on any of its options, it seems no P/L is displayed as I think it would be expected. Also, a total P/L by category (strategy) would also be great for active trades, as we already have for closed trades.
