Please can you provide me with the correct Sierra symbol for use with IB for Ftse100 options. I have tried many combinations and get error messages mainly improperly formed symbol types I should advise you that the exchange LIFFE has been acquired by ICE and renamed and the correct exchange symbol is ICEEU (replacing LIFFE) As examples the underlying index FTSE100 works correctly as Z-I-ICEEU the future for this FTSE100 (december next) works correctly as Z-201412-ICEEU My question is What symbol would work in Sierra for December 2014 CALL options with a strike of 6800 European style Interactive brokers reports the description information for this security as follows FTSE 100 Index Security Type OPT Underlying Z IND Contract Month DEC14 Expiration DEC 19 '14 10:15 GMT Strike 6800 Right Call Currency GBP Multiplier 1000 Exchange ICEEU Trading Class ESX Symbol ESX DEC14 68 C Product Type Equity Index Settlement Method Cash Exercise Style European Thank you in advance trusting that the supporting information is useful (error log attatched) |
