How can I show the TOTAL rows under portfolio at 4:50 ? When I set up the same in my TWS, the TOTAL row is not visible. The weird thing is, I definitely seen it before, but it disappeared.

@@interactivebrokers please see the video at 4:50 and see the portfolio tab shows Total APPL row, above the various positions. How to show the Total row? It is not showing in my Options Trader.
I checked with the appropriate team, and they gave the following response. To see the total row, you need to have more than just a single position in the related company. For example, you can have a stock in the underlying of the symbol you have the option position in or you can have a complex position and a naked option leg. We hope this helps!
If you do not hear from a support team member by next week, please email us at social@ibkr.com with your ticket number and the email associated with your IBKR account, so we can escalate your inquiry.
How do you display the Call price Bid-Ask near the center instead of it being displayed way off to the left? The Call and Put sections should be mirror images instead of left to right.

I have buttons created in the Option Trader. For example to Buy a Limit ORDER but what it happens is that this create a Order for buy the Stocks because in the Quote Panel I am not able to put the Option Data (Bid and Ask) and with the Book Trader in the Quote Panel appears the Option Data if you have linked with Option Chains but nothing appears in the Section Orders.... so if I create a Button for increase or Decrease 5 Ticks can not be used. Give me a solution please!

Hello, we appreciate your question. The US Stock options that stop trading at the end of the regular trading day on the 3rd Friday of the month (considered Monthly option) are settled using the Composite Close (CC) price calculated around 16:00 EST. An option is expired after the OCC completes it's processing. The standard expiration date for US Stock options is the Saturday immediately following the 3rd Friday of the month. The positions in your account are later updated by IBKR accordingly. Expired options are removed from the account over the weekend. We hope this answers your question. www.ibkr.com/faq?id=64160414
dear IBKR, i have no clue, what you are presenting here, but my optionsTrader looks alot different. Dont have the buttons and tabs you show. Also you should REALLY consider hiring some experts for user interface / human machine interfacing.. your platform looks and feels like crap. cant find anything, dont know what to click. buttons are not visible as buttons, funny tooltips which give no info, ... what is KID? the info article 4718 also tells NOTHING. Serious question: did you buy the "award" or what went wrong?
