For futures and stock options you can use Interactive Brokers:

Are they the only choice?

I'm fine using seperate brokers for stock options and futures options, if thats what will give me more choices.

For stock options really the only practical choice would be Interactive Brokers.

For futures options, CTS does support options trading but Sierra Chart does not support options currently through the CTS system.

And we are not sure of other trading services or trading platforms that support options.

Cool. Is this the complete list of brokers and trading platforms you are currently connected to?
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/data.php

I'll review each one to see if any aside from Interactive Brokers and CTS systems offer options trading (since you said "And we are not sure of other trading services or trading platforms that support options.")

Can I use Sierra Chart to trade forex options with Interactive Brokers?

I could not find any info in this link on which Interactive Brokers Symbols I’d use to do this http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IBSymbols.html

Yes you can.

Can you tell us the symbol, the security type, and the exchange for one of the particular options contracts you want to trade so we can explain the format for it.

We apologize for the delay with this. It takes a little time to research this. We have just not had a free moment yet. We will get to it by the end of the day.

Actually what would help us is that if you could find the particular product you want to trade here:
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1563&ns=T

And give us a link to it then we can tell you the specific symbol to use in Sierra Chart.

Is this what you mean by product link? Its the closest I could find in the link you supplied.

https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=products&p=opt&ns=T

Either way, you'll see this link says currency options are available on the ISE Options Exchange (ISE). I'd like to trade these currency options.

Here it is:

http://www1.interactivebrokers.ch/contract_info/v3.9/index.php?action=Details&site=GEN&conid=167815680

This Option Format is what you need to use:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IBSymbols.html#Option

Use Format 1.

So you just need to take each of the elements of the option contract, to form the complete symbol. Let us know if you need more help.
