The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the trade to come to you. The middle market is the halfway point between the bid and the offered prices that you see on your screen with your online broker.
The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous. Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices only. Spread pricing can be very volatile especially on expiration months farther out.
