Hello,
I would like to write options on futures as underlyings (covered calls and covered puts).
At the moment I would test this in the TWS-paper-trading-mode
But first, I am not sure about the procedure in the TWS to initiate such an order.
Is it sufficient to open a covered call by buying the futures contract, and then selling the associated call?
Or is a more complex order entry needed?
I watched this video ,
and it works on stocks, but when trying this with futures options, it lacks for example the "Buy Write"-button in the strategy selection...
best regards
Gonzo
