I know that EL has a code for ....ie.... buy x contracts at market.

What exactly is it referencing as contracts.

More to the point, I am trying to determine if TS EL will allow you to utilize a stocks chart to automate options trading. If so is it buying the contract most closely ATM and then liquidating any open options before entering different option contracts

Hi All, I have this same question: what's the code for buying an option vs buying shares?

For example, what is the code difference to Buy 10 calls ATM of TSLA vs Buy 10 shares of TSLA?

I'm sure this is so easy that I'm just missing it...I'd be glad to take any links or videos or suggestions. Thanks.
