I would like to automate some simple strategies using Options on /ES & /NQ. I am attracted to EL/PL, as I am new to programming.
In the TS/EL reference guide I see many useful functions for finding a strike & expiration based off current underlying price. (great!) However I am not so sure that I can trade FOPs with TS/EL. At TradeStation, FOPs are traded on a separate "FuturesPlus" platform. It seems that OptionsStation is not about futures options.
I lean towards MC/PL for Portfolio Trader and using a single integrated account at IB. I checked the MC/PL reference guide and I do not see any of the option-related functions that I found in the EL reference guide.
Am I missing something or is TS/EL or MC/PL not the right path for automating trading options on futures?
Thanks in advance for any insights or guidance.
