this action is QUICK
and not only do you have a timing problem in getting the confirms back
but you also have to pick the right stock
not all stocks go down on a sell program
AND if you are dealing with the option and not the stock
you have to deal with how much does the option go down versus the stock...
and the spread
etc...

but let us know how it turns out...

seems like you need MULTIPLE sell programs in order to have enough time...
