I understand the difference in symbols. Since the thread has confirmed that what I have setup is correct and what i'm seeing is currect, my next step is my overall goal. I trade options. I trade SPY specifically. I use the main SPY charting for my TA. I would like to be able to load a strike price into the SC Dom and trade from there. Currently I use TWS booktrader and it's options chain. I know the symbol setup is someting like SPY-OPT-expiry/strike-SMART-USD. So I was attempting to build a symbol table/spreadsheet for the current Expiry plus next - which is what I do for daytrading. Is this possible yet with options? Is there way to see if the options strike symbol would be corret? Would the use of the script above aid in forming the proper symbol for options? Or is this just something that this setup is not ready for yet?
Thanks.
