Why do these brokers have so many steps when trying to place an order??
Charts are one screen. Options I have to search the ticker, open the chain, pick the expiry, pick the strike, then sit there doing contract math off a dollar amount so I don't oversize before I enter.
Robinhood is the worst along with Schwab and E\*Trade for me but it's the same loop on the others I've tried. By the time I hit send the price I wanted is gone.
How are you actually getting a defined-risk ticket in fast? Do you just leave the chain open all day? Saved orders? Hotkeys? Something I'm missing?
I only trade options.
