From a card to an order ticket

Open one straddle or strangle card from Options Dispatch and copy its legs, fill price and close price into your own broker's order ticket.

Goal

Copy one card's legs, sell price and close price into your own broker's order ticket. The site places no orders and does not connect to a broker.

Before you start

Sign in and click Trader Dash in the top bar. Keep your broker's order ticket open beside the page.

Steps

  1. Click + Add widget, then under Widgets click Options Dispatch.

  2. Press Escape to close the picker. Options Dispatch opens in the Curated view, with the Options segment of Daily Dispatch above the cards.

  3. Click All screened in the header chips. The cards are shown as one table per symbol.

  4. In the SLV table, click the row 2026-12-04 STRANGLE. A Card Detail window opens on that card.

  5. Read the first two lines: SLV, 2026-12-04, STRANGLE, the status 🟢, then DTE 36 and EOD 2026-10-30.

  6. Read the strike line: 25Δ K $40/$49, the put at $40 and the call at $49.

  7. Read FILL 🎯 (sell): hi $1.74, fair $1.72, flr $1.72.

  8. Read CLOSE LMT (of fair): 20% $1.38, 25% $1.29, 30% $1.20.

  9. In your broker's ticket, enter a sale of the SLV 2026-12-04 $40 put and $49 call as one order.

  10. Set the order's limit to the FILL price you choose.

  11. After the order fills, enter an order that closes the same two legs.

  12. Set that order's limit to the CLOSE LMT row you choose, scaled to your fill.

Result

The broker ticket now has the structure, the expiry, both strikes, a sell limit and a close limit, all copied from the card.

Card Detail shows these fields, top to bottom:

  • FILL 🎯 (sell): the sell fill ladder. hi is above the mid price, fair is at it and flr is below it. This card's theoretical value of $1.82 is above fair, so flr equals fair.
  • CLOSE LMT (of fair): the close limit. The 25% row is fair times 0.75. Closing at $1.29 keeps 25% of a sale at $1.72.
  • targets scale with the actual fill: the rows are computed from fair. Scale them to your fill: for a fill at $1.74, the 25% target is $1.74 times 0.75, $1.305.
  • BE up and BE dn: the breakevens at expiry for a sale at fair, $50.72 and $38.28.
  • MARKET (EOD quotes): each leg's closing bid and ask, its spread and its open interest, each with ✅ or ❌.

The status 🟢 means that the z-score and the VRP points are above their floors and that every quality check passes. The status is a quality flag and does not forecast price or profit. The card assumes no hedge. The Options Dispatch and Card Detail page describes each line.

A card shows the previous session's close. With DTE 36, the expiry is more than 30 days after that session.

Other ways

On a day the run curates cards, Curated lists them first, grouped by symbol. Click a curated card to open the same Card Detail window.

If something goes wrong

  • Curated shows No curated opportunities today.: the run curated no card. Click All screened.
  • The row you want is not in the table: each symbol shows its first four rows. Click +N more under the table.
  • Card Detail shows No card found for SLV 2026-12-04 strangle.: no card exists for that row. Close the window and select another row.
  • A price is shown as -: the card has no value for that field. Do not enter a value of your own.
  • A row shows ⚠️: the card is borderline. Its failing checks are listed at the bottom of Card Detail.
  • Clicking the same row again opens no second window: that card is already open. The page scrolls it into view.
  • The quotes differ from your broker's: the card uses the previous session's end-of-day quotes. Your broker shows the current session.
