VXX Puts
I have so many Bear Call spreads for this week and next that this didn’t seem like a big risk.
Bought 1 VXX 08/23/2024 40.0 Put at $0.02 and sold 1 VXX 08/16/2024 45.5 Put at $0.17 for a $0.15 Diagonal Credit.

Broker question
I am wondering what are people’s brokers of choice for option trading.
I mostly trade options on SPX and stocks in some sort of spreads, in a portfolio account with Etrade. I use ToS for chart and TA, also checked out Tasty, but nobody could match Etrade on fee (a grandfathered deal, 0.3/contract, closing short @0.1 or less no fee).
A few months ago, Etrade took away stop order on spreads, just market or limit… Though I don’t use stop order often, but it could be handy when needing to be away from desk during the day and for peace of mind sake.
what broker would you recommend?
allowing stop on spread, and with reasonable fee, and any bonus features…
Thank you for your advice.
