> with the recommendation to create an iron condor

Have you tried? The interface is good if all you want to do is buy or sell a single option. If you try an iron condor, with 4 options, it's difficult to get a picture of what you are doing. Max profit, max loss, greeks for the combined options, etc.

Some other platforms allow you to setup an iron condor with a single click, then move strikes around and see the numbers change.

Heck, even the greeks for a single option are kinda hidden before you buy. Many people don't even know you can see them before buying. It is also difficult to compare greeks between different options.

Spreads in general are not very visible in RH(and are a 'higher level'). It should encourage people to use them more to minimize risk.

It's like 10 clicks to go from seeing the greeks for one option to seeing the greeks for another. You have to go all the way to the page where you're choosing how many contracts to buy/sell before you can click to see them.

It's really weird.
