U would have gotten a Thumbs Up from me for this video, if u had included how to put on a 'closing' order for Debit Vertical Spreads too. Do u have another video posted here on how to put on 'closing' orders for these spreads?

[@CharlesSchwab]

Here is a video from our Trader Talk channel where Ben adds a closing order on a debit spread. The segment in question starts at 22:50. ^BC

Why not leave the price at the mid? Why submit at the highest?

[@petadventure22]

Your order is less likely to get filled when you ask for more than the mid. The more legs you have, the worse the problem gets.

[@CharlesSchwab]

Some stocks might fill at the midpoint but not all do. You have a higher likelihood of being filled when you submit with a price close to the natural price. But you can experiment with the specific stocks you trade. ^CH
