I'd really like to know as well. Entering the legs individually can blow up the margin on the account. Entering all the legs (which IB can support) at once for a single price would better emulate the strategy that I'm interested in. I'll be curious to hear if anyone else chimes in on your question.

Hi All,
Currently, we don't support entering/exiting a spread as a single trade, but we will take this feature into consideration but it is not currently planned to enable this.
