Hmmm, not sure how deeply you have looked into this, options are a can of worms. I really would love expanded options functions in SC, but just as an FYI, for ES options alone, you have :

EW1 (End of Week 1)
EW2 (End of Week 2)
EW3 (End of Week 3)
EW4 (End of Week 4)
EOM (End of Month)

then,
Monday expiring weekly options for each week
Wednesday expiring weekly options for each week
and quarterly options that expire when the underlying futures contract expires.

Each of these options is divided into hundreds of strikes ie 2790,2795,2800,2805,2810...and each strike has calls and puts

So, you are talking about calling up thousands of strikes at a time.

Usually, platforms that handle options ask for the underlying symbol, for example, ES again, then the expiry date, then it will pull up a board that looks like a spreadsheet listing calls on one side and puts on another like the picture shown here. on Rtrader as shown you can then right-click on any strike and it will pull up a dom to trade that strike, whether a call or put, or you can manually enter the symbol string in an existing dom, chart etc. Not sure how deeply you want to get into this can of worms, but being able to have options with correct pricing on a DOM is a great thing for trading
