How to do specific spreads not the prebuild ones.

[Haciamirumbo]

Hello, I would like to know how to build a specific spread instead of the build ones. For example, If I would like to do a spread but with different leg calls or puts resulting on 4 legs or 5 legs, some legs with a 2 or 3 ratio some short, some long, and different DTE. Is this possible? and how? I tried with iron condor, unbalanced butterfly, and ratios,  but it was not possible to do credit on one side and debit other legs, also I tried with synthetics and it sent the orders separately instead of on one spread. Could you help me please, thanks.

Jaime.

You can leg into multiple spreads, combining one spread into larger spreads. For instance, you can leg into larger spreads with different strikes / expirations / ratios.
