Using IBKR, is there no way to roll a credit spread from 2 contracts to 3 contracts? I.e July 28th - 2 contracts to August 2nd - 3 contracts? The only way I see is to roll the current quantity and then buy a 3rd contract/spread seperately.

@H2OCan

This query does not depend on the brokerhouse, instead it depends on what YOU onw or what you do not own. If you own contracts for two "Credit-Spreads", then you can only roll those contracts and nothing else. So IBKR is acting according to given rules.
