TradeStation Options Trading Tutorial
Did you know you can trade stock options on the *TradeStation
Matrix just like Futures and Forex? Yep, and this video shows you how. Everything you need to know is explained step by step in “TradeStation Options Trading Tutorial”. You will learn how to load the option symbol into the Matrix. Order entry methods are shown, including automatic bracket orders. Easily modify your stop loss and limit orders by clicking and dragging along the depth of market. Clearly see the Bid/Ask size and levels for the stock option being traded.
We begin by copying the option symbol (OPRA code) straight from the OptionsStation Pro screen. We then paste this OPRA code into the command line for the Matrix window on our TradeStation workspace. Once these steps are complete, all the advanced order functionality provided by the Matrix is available. We show how to enter, and manage the orders. We also show how to set up and manage a bracket order.

can the matrix be used to trade options spreads and iron condors?
I cannot imagine any way to make that work using a standard trading D.O.M./Matrix. And I doubt there is sufficient demand for this feature to justify the expense for including this sort of functionality in the average trading platform.
