Options orders with command 'o'

[klepsydra]

Am I missing something, or are Option Orders not yet displayed with the 'o' command?
('l' shows both stocks and options positions, great!)

Listing open option orders is not supported currently.

Anil, is this limitation of Robinhood API?

[anilshanbhag]

No, its not. However, its hard to type in an exact option order - so I just do it on mobile/webapp.

Will this be added in the future?

[Emnolope]

+1 on this, I also want a way of doing options.

@anilshanbhag I am working on creating my own fork with options. Can you expand on why you chose to not implement option orders? Do you view it as riskier programmatically and more error prone?

[anilshanbhag]

You need a good UI to choose the right strike / strike date. Also easy to do mistakes - for example if instead of typing in 0.05 you type 5, you will likely lose quite some money as most options are high bid/ask spreads.
