Is there the ability to place combo orders? Meaning is there a way that I can place an option order and a limit order at the same time?

I have tried following what I am doing with custom compound orders and throwing a limit order in there, but it doesn't appear to be working. It keeps saying invalid compound type.

Thanks.

Hello

Option is a contract type, limit is an order type. These categories do not overlap. An order can be option and limit at the same time.

Do you mean sending any random 2 orders as an one? If so, we do not support it. We have a custom compounds feature but such orders should follow some strategy rules to be accepted.

Mostly am I able to place a futures order and an option order in the same order. Not necessarily 2 *random* orders. They would need the same base symbol, but just a futures order and option order.
