Options orders with command 'o' #12

Open klepsydra opened 6 years ago

klepsydra commented 6 years ago

Am I missing something, or are Option Orders not yet displayed with the 'o' command? ('l' shows both stocks and options positions, great!)

anilshanbhag commented 6 years ago

Listing open option orders is not supported currently.

nkaliape commented 6 years ago

Anil, is this limitation of Robinhood API?

anilshanbhag commented 6 years ago

No, its not. However, its hard to type in an exact option order - so I just do it on mobile/webapp.

murdrae commented 6 years ago

Will this be added in the future?

Emnolope commented 5 years ago

+1 on this, I also want a way of doing options.

@anilshanbhag I am working on creating my own fork with options. Can you expand on why you chose to not implement option orders? Do you view it as riskier programmatically and more error prone?

anilshanbhag commented 5 years ago

You need a good UI to choose the right strike / strike date. Also easy to do mistakes - for example if instead of typing in 0.05 you type 5, you will likely lose quite some money as most options are high bid/ask spreads.
