Can not figure out how to set "Double Diagonals" in Trade King. It is now in default set of strategies either. What am I missing?

I have been trying to lobby TK for a custom-type of order with several legs available but until then an option is to use two strangles in the different months. You will not get it for one price and the system may think you are trying to sell naked calls and puts. One can call the Trade Desk with the long side in place and ask them to put the short side I imagine

Thank you, OldFart. I like overall design but it is definately lacking flexibility.

Hello Arlekino,

I am testing out the new double diagonal screen as we blog. I will update you when it is live. I don't have a set date yet to provide you yet.
