Is there a way to have the option summary view show the “mid” price, not just bid and ask? The way Fidelity shows paired legs of a spread doesn’t accurately reflect the price of the positions. For instance in the attached picture, it shows that both legs of this option are losing money. Why? Because Fidelity is showing the worst price for both sides of the trade, not the midpoint and they are using those worst prices to calculate the total gain/loss. I tried to find a way to have it use the mid price between bid/ask but it doesn’t show it. Right now, the only way I’ve found to determine the actual cost of closing the trade is to start to close it, then get to the point of previewing the trade where it shows the real (mid) prices and accurate cost… and then back out of it. This seems convoluted, at best. There must be a better way to view this within the view.
