To change a Multi-Leg Option order:

Changing multi-leg option orders is similar to changing any other kind of order and takes place from the Order Status tab of the Account Details window. You can change the quantities, limit price (if applicable), special conditions, etc. Any fields unavailable to change are grayed out.

The most significant difference is the Order Types available when changing a multi-leg order. You can choose between Limit Debit and Limit Credit, as well as Even (neither debit nor credit), and of course, Market.

Click Verify Order to confirm and submit the changed order.
