Some of us like to haggle, and some of us don’t. Either way, we’re trying to get an order fill. If you’re somebody who doesn’t like to play the “mid-price game” and want your default price for stocks or single-leg options to be the natural price (nat), then you can change that in the Settings menu of each trading platform. However, when placing any multi-leg options order, selecting the nat as your default price is not available. As a result, the platform will default to the mid-price (limit order). Perhaps you’re having trouble getting an order filled? If you’d like to read some possible reasons behind that problem, then click here.
