Hope that multi-leg option trade can be supported in US options market

This request is on behalf of all the options traders in Moo Moo's option trading chat. This had been an ongoing request since 2021 so hope that in 2023 we are able to finally do multi-leg options trade in the US market (see image below). In the Hong Kong options market, we are able to do multi-leg options trade such as vertical spread, iron condor and so on easily in a single trade. However, this capability is not available in the US options market. Hope the feature can be ported over.
This will help to reduce the transaction cost a lot, because there is a minimum fee of USD3 per transaction. If we are doing a spread now in Moo Moo that is a minimum fee of USD6 already as we have to do 2 transactions, an iron condor will be USD12 as we have to do 4 transaction. Doing a multi-leg option trade would reduce the fee by 50% for a spread and 75% for an iron condor.
On top of that, that makes the UX for doing options a lot smoother as we can easily create combos, we know the debit and credit immediately, and also have a guarantee that all legs will be filled.
Another request is that since there is margin reduction support for diagonal and calendar spread, hope that we can do multi-leg options trade on those kind of spread too as a single trade Thanks in advance
